BBB Hawk Road Bike Helmet

The BBB Hawk Road Bike Helmet in Black gives cyclists a lightweight, well-ventilated road helmet with the safety features you’d expect from far pricier helmets. With 21 vents, a SpiderWeb reinforced shell and a one-hand fit dial, it’s an easy pick for new cyclists, commuters and triathletes who want reliable gear at a sensible price.

If you’re kitting up for your first big ride, a weekend bunch or a triathlon, your helmet is the one item you shouldn’t skimp on, but that doesn’t mean paying for a big-name logo. The Hawk covers the essentials properly: it meets the Australian standard, keeps your head cool on hot days and adjusts in seconds. The black finish is low-key and suits any bike or kit.

21 vents to keep you cool

Twenty-one air vents move air across your head as you pedal, so you stay comfortable on long climbs and hot summer days. Less heat build-up means less sweat in your eyes and more focus on the road ahead.

SpiderWeb reinforced InMold shell

The polycarbonate outer shell is fused to the EPS foam liner in a single InMold construction, keeping the helmet light and compact. Inside, BBB’s SpiderWeb reinforcement structure adds extra strength to the foam, giving you added peace of mind without extra weight.

One-hand Omega fit system

BBB’s own Omega retention system uses a slim dial at the back of the helmet that tightens or releases with one hand. You can fine-tune the fit before you set off or while you’re cycling, and the sliding strap dividers make it easy to get the straps sitting comfortably around your ears.

Reflective details and washable padding

Reflective accents on the rear help drivers spot you in low light, early mornings and late afternoons. The 10mm airflow-optimised padding is comfortable against your head and can be removed and washed to keep your helmet fresh.
