The Cratoni Velo-X in a practical check
At 89.90 euros, the Cratoni Velo-X the cheapest helmet in the MYBIKE test. And you get a lot of features for your money. 17 ventilation openings allow sufficient air to reach the head. A fly net keeps out annoying mosquitoes, wasps & co.
At 288 grams, the Cratoni Velo-X is also right up there in terms of weight. There are drawbacks in terms of comfort with the adjustment system. It cannot be adjusted in height, so the helmet tends to sit rather high on the head. Our tip: Be sure to try it out to see if it is compatible with your own head shape.
However, Cratoni attaches great importance to passive safety. Many reflective elements on the helmet shell and in the straps increase visibility. A rear light that can be charged via USB is also included.
Cratoni has also come up with something special for the ratchet fastener. It can also be adjusted and opened with one hand using a strap. A clear comfort point!
Cratoni has dispensed with a rotation system on the affordable Velo-X. The CleanTex helmet pads are said to have an antibacterial effect and are removable and washable.
