At Circles, we carry various helmet brands, but over the past few years, one has emerged as a representative brand for us: Taiwan-based KPLUS. We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a KPLUS POP UP STORE.
KPLUS POP UP STORE
Dates: January 11 (Saturday) – January 21 (Tuesday)
Time: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Location: 2F Circles TailoredDuring this period, you will be able to try on almost the entire lineup, which is not usually available in the shop.
Since their debut in 2016, their lineup has become incredibly diverse, ranging from new releases to upgraded versions of existing models equipped with MIPS. This time, we have created an opportunity for you to see and try on almost the entire collection, including our standard Nova Mips, as well as the SIGMA, AURA, and other staple and new models.
As a Taiwanese brand, KPLUS helmets are designed to fit the Japanese head shape—which tends to be wider and flatter—better than many Western brands. Their design aesthetic also happens to be exactly to our taste.
If you have been considering purchasing a new helmet, please take this opportunity to visit our shop and experience the comfort of a KPLUS helmet for yourself.
Why wearing a helmet matters
By the way, do you wear a helmet when you ride your bike?
It has been over two years since wearing a helmet became a legal obligation (as a duty to exert effort) in Aichi Prefecture. With the implementation of national regulations last April, you can see many more people wearing helmets on the streets now.
As for me, I have been wearing one for a long time—not just on weekends, but for my daily commute and whenever I head out on my bike. However, if you ask me if I wear one 100% of the time, I’d have to admit… I don’t always wear it right after getting a haircut or if I’ve carefully styled my hair. Depending on my mood, I might also skip it for quick, local trips to the convenience store.
But even so, it is truly better to wear a helmet.
Whether you are commuting to work or far out in the mountains, nobody knows when or where you might find yourself in a situation where you’ll be glad you were wearing one.
I am sure most people would prefer not to experience pain, worry their loved ones, or cause trouble for others.
Since the helmet is there for such moments, it is best to wear it whenever you can.
KPLUS helmets have a sleek silhouette and come in a rich variety of colors, so you are sure to find a model that fits you perfectly.
While I personally love using the Aries Spherical AF from GIRO, I’m planning to use this opportunity to pick up a KPLUS Ranger for my daily commute and city riding. Its rounded style and integrated rear light make it a perfect match for casual wear.
We hope you will come by and experience KPLUS for yourself.
We look forward to seeing you.
