The Atlas 4.0 has a carbon fibre shell with a definite ‘Simpson Bandit’ streetfighter feel to the design. It comes in some pretty lairy colourways, including this DC-licensed Joker replica, as well as more subtle plain finishes.

It’s got ECE22.06 and DOT approval, has extensive venting, and is claimed to be 57% quieter than before. It’s fairly light at 1500g and features a new Rheon shock-absorbing smart material, plus the usual QR Pinlock visor and washable interior. There’s an optional Bluetooth set-up available, too.

RRP: £375 (plain) £425 (colours)
