Default New Biltwell DOT

Heard there will be a new Biltwell DOT Helmet due out in about 3 months.First run colors will be Flat black,Flat Copper and Titanium.Shell will be similar to the Fulmer V2.They will not be any smaller than any current 3/4 ex. Fulmer v2,Bell custom 500.Just not possible to meet DOT because of the safety foam.But if its by biltwell its got to be kick a$$ IMO.

I read a thread some where on here yesterday that some one saw it on another forum.I am in the market for a new 3/4 DOT so I emailed Biltwell and they emailed me back all the info I provided.So I will now wait until they come out.I had a 3/4 non dot mega flake and loved it.
