sick helmet love the color too
What goggles can you wear with it?
Quite a few, the Biltwell Moto Goggles go well with iy
ive been told that these come up one size to big. so if youre a Large you should order a Mediumm did you find this the case?
cheers
I didn’t no, I’m usually a large and that’s what this helmet was
Riding with a selfie stick!?!? Really? Perhaps time to invest in a drone. 🤡
It was a gopole actually 😉😁 and only for a short piece of footage on a ‘quiet lane’. As it’s about the only time I’ve filmed like that in 200 videos, im not sure it’s worth the spend on a drone?
Its the ventilation (or lack of) that lets this lid down...
Lack of ventilation? There’s quite a bit, the problem (particularly here in the UK) is not being able to close it!
I don’t suppose you could do a review on the ruroc atlas helmet
If they want to lend me one then sure....
LOL! "...and that bee better fuck off!" Thats the best! I love it! By the way, what's the jacket you're wearing? Belstaff? Enjoying your vids! Thank you! Cheers!
It did as well..... yep it’s my Belstaff Crosby jacket, it’s the one I normally reach for
NIce review. That jacket is dope too bro!
Cheers! That’s my trusty Belstaff Crosby jacket
Any updates on winter UK riding? How has it coped with rain and visor mist?
Yep if you want to wear it all year round in the UK I wouldn’t recommend it. Warm and dry it’s great but outside that others will perform better
@Views from the Man Cave that's what i was thinking! Cold i can cope with, blindness is a no no. Unfortunately i think I'll have to go for a different lid! Thanks 👍🏻
Daniel Winsall blocking the vents is only going to lead to misting, there is no pinlock or similar option.....
@Views from the Man Cave ive seen someone say they taped up the vents during cold weather but never mentioned visor misting issues
In my opinion it’s too ‘drafty’ for winter riding. There’s no way of shutting off the vents, so for me it’s a summer or fair weather helmet only
Does the overhang at the top of the visor seal off rain?
Hope so, I’ve not had a chance to ride it in the rain yet. I could pretty much guarantee quite a. Lot would get through the chin vent
Sorry just seen the link🤷♂️😜
Nice vid Tony, probably be worth a punt for summer riding. Look good in Matt black with black chrome visor. Where can you look at one/ buy?
Hey Tony, if it's possible for you to borrow it for a day or two, would you consider reviewing the Torc T1 Retro Full Face Helmet??
I've been wanting the Bell Bullit for a while but just never wanted to pay that hefty price tag and this new 2018 helmet is essentially the bell Bullit at HALF the price! Would love to know what you reckon. If it's possible that is. If they can send you one to test ride for 60 miles or so. Please and thank you mate.
Yes! That's what I reckon, that it's exactly the same. I'm contemplating buying it. Amazon has it. All helmets I've worn have been Medium, I reckon this shouldn't be any different. And all the vents close where as with the Bell Bullit only the chin bar closes which isn't good for the winter.
But thanks as always for taking the time to reply and for your consideration. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate it.
Hi, if they'll send me one i'll review it. It does look like a straight copy
I'd like one of these. Looks brilliant.
I was impressed with the helmet, especially at the price
Does the outer shell come in different sizes?
Yes, two sizes, one for XS-S-M and another for L-XL-XL
For what's out there...not the one to have
Jings I would guess this will be a little on the loud side but it does look the part. Be cracking cracking about town and speeds from 60mph and below. Another good video T :)
Views from the Man Cave ha love it! Brilliant, have a cracking weekend fella
I may have erm, hit ‘motorway’ speeds during the video 😉 The noise was better than I expected and quieter than my Bullitt
Ha, the second I hit send you mention that you haven’t hit motorway speeds. Next time il watch the full thing before commenting doh
Great movie!
Thanks Bud
Awesome barn owl!! (and helmet) great review as always.
Yes, I was lucky it appeared as I was filming, although maybe not good that it was hunting during daylight?
I have a Bullitt by bell. Like you I find it squeezes my head at the front. Used your trick of squashing foam at front with fingers. The bell helmet is terrible noise wise Defoe ear plugs. How does Bissell compare?
I've owned many helmets and the bell bullit is probably the worst one
I find it more comfortable and quieter.....
Does it have pinlock option?
Sadly not, but it is an anti-fog visor. Not had the weather to test it yet though. Deffo a ‘summer’ helmet for here in the UK
Reminds me of my old Simpson Bandit helmet from 1982
Exactly, thats what attracted me
Is there more chin room and depth compared to the Bullit?
cheers!
Yes, much more
Good review. Do you think a sena comm unit will clamp to the shell without any issues? Watch out for those sheep! They are evil, nasty creatures related to the Rabbit of Caerbannog! Look at the bones! Beware! Beware!
Hi Chad, yes the Sena will attach super easy, the liner has a small pocket you could use as well for the speaker. I put one of the foam spacers behind it to push the speakers closer as well to sound better as the helmet is kind of loud. If you use the Sena 10R you the vents are so deep you can put the battery inside the helmet as well. have fun. -Alyssa
Thanks Chad, I think it should be fine, that may be my next job! I did think they had a sinister look in their eyes......
Nice review as always mate 👍. If you don't mind me asking, what size lid are you wearing? As someone who wears an XL it's great when you find a crash hat that doesn't make you look like a bobble-head. RSM
God how true!
Hi Ben, thanks......the helmet is a size Large (59-60cm)
Niceeeee 😎😎👌👌👌
