So I just bought a new full face helmet... After several positive reviews I have pulled the trigger on the New Bell Star Matte Carbon Helmet...

The helmet is love at first sight... Such a bitchen looking lid, and the carbon fiber is amazing...

I know many of the touring guys don't dig the full face but I changed my mind a few years back when I got T-boned in the middle of an intersection and my chin hit the ground and dragged a few feet... Nonetheless, it was not a good feeling.

Once I ride with it more I will post a more personal review as far as weight and ventilation etc.

But right now I am just amazed with how it looks!!!

 

I've got that exact same helmet. I've had it for about a year and love it, I also have the transitions face shield that adapts to the light condition outside and it's awesome. Helmet goes great with my denim black SGS.

 

How dark does your lens get. Can you post a pic??

I really wanna see it before I spend another 100 bucks.

 

That's a great looking lid. How does it fit (round/oval)?

 

I've been looking at this helmet for a while. Looking forward for a review...

 

How do you guys buy helmets, I don't wanna buy online without trying it on but so few places around that actually have a good selection of helmets in stock. Bought a Harley helmet last time and leaning towards another ONLY because it's in stock and I tried it on.

 

+1 on requesting some review info. Does it have a removable or adjustable interior pads? Ventilation good? Lighter weight?

I'm currently using a Neotec. Cheek pads are available in 3 sizes and the whole interior padding is removable, replaceable, washable.

 

Ventilated well?
Is it quiet?
Round, oval?
Inquiring minds want to know...

 

Fit is Oval

 

Give me a few days and I will give you my honest feedback and see if was worth the $$
