Cratoni

C-Bolt Cycling Helmet

There is no shortage of excellent helmets to be had at the C-Bolt's price point. Cratoni knows you have options. The designers knew, in designing the C-Bolt, that they either had to make it radical enough to get attention, or simply great enough to be the best. They opted for the latter, which is a good thing for all of us.

The C-Bolt's list of features overlaps heavily with Cratoni's top-shelf offerings like the C-Breeze and C-Hawk. Those two will be a bit lighter and more breathable, but that's like saying one Porsche will outperform the other — you're not missing out in either. The C-Bolt has the same Light Fit System as those others, allowing not just diameter adjustment of the helmet's fit, but also vertical adjustment, ensuring you can dial in the position you want. To keep you cool, there are 21 enormous vents, joining forces with Cratoni's Air Channel Technology that doesn't just funnel air in but pulls it over your dome and out the back to maximize breathability. To promise long life and minimal annoyance, there are also Clean Tex antimicrobial pads on the interior, as well as removable bug netting.

The Cratoni C-Bolt Helmet comes in size M/L (255g, adjustable between 56-59cm) or size L/XL (280g, adjustable between 59-62cm), and in two glossy finishes: Black/silver or Anthracite/white/lime.
