Reevu MSX-1, the Rear-View Helmet

Now, the Reevu MSX-1 helmet has been around for some time now, but we figured to bring it up to the front once more, since it's somehow funny to see that it's still a pretty unique design in the industry. Save for some ridiculous suction-cup mirrors (which will probably fly off at 100 mph), the Reevu seems to be the standard in this business.

If you haven't seen the Reevu helmets before, here's the catch: they sport an integrated vision system which allows the rider to get a glimpse of what's going on in the back, pretty much like one would do inside a normal car. Thanks to its clever design, checking the Reevu MSX-1 rear view panel does not reduce the road awareness, as the display is perfectly positioned for the peripheral vision.

This means you must barely move the eye in order to see behind you. And even more, the Reevu MSX-1 system covers for the blind spots which usually remain impossible to check with mirrors only. In some cases, after getting used to it the Reevu rear view system could also cover for the much-needed shoulder check.

The in-helmet mirror is easily adjustable for the optimal view and riders tend to get used to it pretty rapidly. The Reevu MSX-1 comes in several color options and is DOT and ECE-compliant. Prices for the new generation of Reevu MSX-1 helmets are around $400 (€300) and you can get them online mostly. Or simply contact Reevu and they'll gladly help you out.
