I was ready to pull the trigger on a Ghost Bandit, but then i noticed Simpson now have a modular for not a lot more money. Light weight for a modular. Just wondering if anyone has one and would care to comment? Not a lot of reviews out there for this helmet.

 

Here is a pretty detailed review that may be helpful? https://www.webbikeworld.com/simpson...helmet-review/

 

A Modular helmet is ALWAYS a Smart choice. That's my 2 cents on the issue.

 

Thanks, that was the only review i could find too. Not a lot out there on this helmet at the moment.

I don't usually look at modular helmets because of weight, but this and the AGV Sport modular carbon get under the weight limit i like. I'm not even sure i need the modular feature, never owned one, but it does tick all the boxes on my check list for a new helmet.

 

Tagging this as I am interested and may be looking for a new modular helmet. Cold winter weather is the only time I wear one.

 

One thing i've seen in reviews is that Bandits move a lot of air. Some of the chin vents on the Mod Bandit can't be closed, so i'm not sure this would be the best option if you're looking for a winter helmet. I guess it depends on how cold your winters are. You could always use tape to cover the vents for winter, which is probably what i'll end up doing if i decide to buy one.

 

Yikes, my head ain't worth THAT much!!

 

I'll wait til more reviews start trickling in, wouldnt mind seeing some other color choices too. From the looks, it looks like a great competitor to the Neotec 2 from Shoei but 1/3 less price.

 

 

Take a look at the Schuberth C3 Pro. About the same weight and worlds better when it comes to quality, finish and noise levels.
