We will be hosting a try-on event for the Taiwan-based helmet manufacturer KPLUS from Friday, February 17th, to Tuesday, February 28th.
While Circles typically carries the Nova in our regular lineup, you will be able to check out other models during this period as well. KPLUS features a range of other attractive models, such as the Meta, which was newly introduced last year for gravel riding; the Alpha, designed for more efficient on-road riding; and the Ranger, designed for urban cycling.
Whether you are starting to cycle this spring or thinking about replacing your current gear, please come and try on a KPLUS helmet if you are considering a new purchase.
Because their helmets are designed for Asian head shapes, they have received high praise for their fit, with many customers who have wider heads, prominent parietal bones, or flatter occipital bones remarking that they are the "most comfortable to wear."
Some customers who were even considering purchasing a helmet from a different manufacturer end up choosing a KPLUS helmet after trying one on. We are sure it will fit the head shape of many people.
Opportunities like this are rare, so we hope everyone will come by and visit us!
Now, allow us to briefly introduce KPLUS and their helmet lineup once again.
KPLUS
KPLUS is a helmet manufacturer established in Taiwan in 2014. They originally handled OEM and ODM production for other companies, and with a 30-year history, they develop products based on a wealth of experience. Their proprietary Asian fit design is standard across all their helmets, solving the common helmet-related frustrations many Japanese riders face. You can feel the sense of security as it covers your head the moment you put it on.
Nova
Nova is the most popular helmet at Circles. Not only is the Asian fit shape comfortable, but its simple look is also a major draw. Its popularity stems from its clean silhouette that avoids the "mushroom" look often associated with helmets.
Of course, it also offers aerodynamic benefits; the 15 angled ventilation holes and the matte-finished channel layer structure along the top sides of the head allow wind to flow smoothly inside the helmet. Incidentally, we have just received the newly released Avocado Green color.
Meta
Featuring a magnetically attachable visor, the Meta is a helmet designed for riders who enjoy both off-road and on-road riding, handling both gravel bikes and road bikes.
You can easily attach the visor when heading onto gravel or single tracks with many obstacles, and remove it when riding on-road. Furthermore, the collaboration between KPLUS’s touted "New Asian Fit" and the latest K2 headlock system maximizes comfort and safety.
Alpha
Alpha is a helmet that balances a wide range of performance requirements—including fit, ventilation, aerodynamics, and design—at a high level.
By incorporating Mips® Air, a protective system against multidirectional impacts, it provides a high level of safety without sacrificing lightness, making it KPLUS’s flagship model.
Ranger
Ranger is a helmet from KPLUS’s urban series. Its refined dual-shell structure, which uses different polycarbonates for the top and bottom, offers not only improved safety but also an elegant, sophisticated design that is easy to style.
The back of the helmet is equipped with a detachable LED light. With three lighting patterns, it ensures high visibility. It also includes a removable visor that can be adjusted depending on the cyclist’s style and riding situation.
We recommend trying on a helmet before purchasing
While there are models available for various situations, the Asian fit that conforms to the shape of Japanese heads and the easy-to-use magnetic buckle are the two biggest features of KPLUS helmets. You can’t get a definitive sense of these from text, photos, or videos alone, so please take this opportunity to come and try them on in person.
