Price comparison: Ferrari Rosso helmet

The Ferrari Rosso is an all-Italian helmet and an official Ferrari licensed product. And since its shell is produced in advanced thermoplastic polymers, the result is a low weight of just 950 grams – perfect for someone who regularly rides a motorcycle or moped.

Hence, the Asian Wall Street Journal’s weekly Arbitrage column has recently conducted a survey of prices for a Ferrari Rosso helmet in various cities in Asia and around the world. The survey found that prices were highest in three European cities and lowest in Hong Kong.
