This By City The Rock Carbon ECE 22.06 review covers the carbon-shell version of the retro off-road-style helmet. Its wide front opening, rear goggle-strap fastening and poppers for compatible eye-protection equipment deserve attention before choosing it for regular use.

Carbon version and eye protection
The checked Carbon Black version has a carbon-fibre shell, confirmed by the manufacturer. Other linked Rock colours use different construction, so they are not treated here as interchangeable paint options. The double-D retention system and removable washable lining are part of this version’s specification.
The helmet has poppers for a peak or visor and a rear fastening for a goggle strap. Confirm compatible eye protection and the exact contents of the box rather than assuming a visor is included. Chin-guard openings and grilles provide ventilation; check the configuration you will use with your own goggles or visor.
Protection and construction
The listed approval is ECE 22.06. Check the exact helmet label and specification for the version you are buying, particularly if you need it for a track event.
Fit and adjustment
The chin-strap fastening is Double-D. Make sure you are comfortable operating that fastening and adjusting it securely before choosing the helmet.
Comfort and everyday use
The interior is removable for cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and refit the pads in their original positions.
