Livall BH60SE helmet review

With inbuilt GPS SOS system, LED lights, Bluetooth speakers and a microphone the Livall BH60SE sounds more like a smartphone – but can a helmet really shoehorn all that functionality in without sacrificing comfort and looks?

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Livall BH60SE helmet is mindblowingly impressive. It somehow manages to cram everything from an SOS message system to playing your ultimate riding playlist, to super visibility in to one reasonably lightweight, good looking helment for less than £100. If there were more sizes available and didn't rinse phone battery quite as quickly it would be perfect.

Working in the world of cycling tech you get to see lovely shiny products on a daily basis: this is both a good and a bad thing. Yay to getting to grips with new kit as soon as it lands, but you can become a bit desensitised so it takes something really special to really turn my head, or, in the case of the Livall BH60SE helmet, show it to all your colleagues, mates, partner, kids, siblings... in fact, anyone I have recently come into contact with is likely to have been told all about it.
