Duchinni takes new flip-front route –
The D606 is a minor road in central France, and it must be something special. Dunlop named a tyre after it, and now helmet firm Duchinni has used the same designation for its latest budget-priced flip-front helmet.
Duchinni describes the D606 as “feature packed”, which seems fair enough. It has single-button release for the chin-bar and visor, incorporates an internal flip-down sun visor, and uses a seat-belt style buckle. It also has a removable, washable lining, plus vents at top, chin and rear.
The D606 is available in sizes XS to XL, costs a reasonable sounding £89.99, and comes in black or white. The other D606 runs from Fontainebleau to Auxerre and, like Dunlop’s eponymous dual-purpose tyre, comes only in black.
