Based largely on research suggesting this was the safest and lightest helmet on the market (an admittedly subjective assessment), I decided to give the Klim F5 Koroyd a test during the 2020 Dakar Rally. In this race I focused a great deal on weight, ventilation and comfort, knowing I’d need to live in the helmet and that those ounces tend to feel more like pounds as you rack up the miles.

MAKING MEMORIES
Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities.
