I too own this helmet and it seems high quality, however, if you have a big head and need XL or XXL none of the Bell visors and screens will fit which is unacceptable. I eventually bought a Bob Heath Jet visor which you can make fit with a little heat. Also the press studs on the Bell accessories are so tight they are almost impossible to remove without damaging the fasteners. One final gripe is the helmet doesn't have any way of securing the goggle strap at the rear of the helmet so its really difficult to wear goggles without them slipping.
Looks superb! Can't wait to see how you get on with it while I'm cowering in my full face. To think in the 60s I went without a lid often as not. Must not have been as many bugs about then! Did you look at Davidas? Great channel, really enjoy your vifs and commentary. Thanks.
Vids !
Thanks Stuart, a very informative video. I've always liked the look of this style of helmet, and with the goggles it will achieve a retro look.
I love the LED headlights! Are they adaptive?
As for sizing, I went to a bike show and tried on the Icon Airmada Lucky Lid 2. Then bought it from a well known UK online bike store.
Hi Stuart, another great video that even though you say was'rushed' is still up to your usual high standard. Looking forward to see how you get on with the goggles. I've been considering an open face so this was – as always – very informative.
while i understand the appeal, 35% of motorcycle crashes ends up with a direct hit of the jaw with the asphalt. that's more than 1 third…I would never, ever trust such an helmet. I'd prefer having all my teeth than to look cool 😀
thanks Stuart informative I'm thinking of an open face to but I'm concerned as how I will get on with it and using goggles again . Will it lift at speed do the goggles stay in place that kind of thing !
Just wanted to say your reviews are really good mate. The level of detail is just right and they are completely honest which helps us all make choices of what to purchase in the future. I just wish you worked for MCN and was able to test loads of different bikes! Keep it up.
I've bought a Davida Speedmaster V3, thinner removal lining and a vast range of colours. Beautiful fit and and the lining looks a little thinner than the Bell. It's made in the UK if that makes any difference to you,.
Just wanted to say my friend, I love watching your video's. Why is it you can have 50K viewers on one video but have less than 1K subscribers? How does that work? Looking forward to your tours / trips and keep the video's coming! More commentary on your rides please! Music is OK…but I for one want to hear what you see and feel…..sense….smell…well you get the picture!

A very nice and comprehensive review Stuart
It'a so nice to watch your videos. Not one of all those stressful ones here on Youtube. Thank you for that!
I have this helmet and I love it. A hint. You can wear the helmet without having to put on and take off the belt at a time. Just relax, put the belt in front of the face and put on the head.
Hi Stuart i to have this helmet,but find the wind noise deafening.I now wear ear plugs which helps. Nice reviews by the way.
Love the attention to detail in your video's thanks. Just one question regarding the helmet and its compatibility with your goggles. I seen in some other videos for this helmet that the user fiound the forehead edge a bit low to accommodate sunglasses comfortably. Did you find this with your goggles and or sunglasses.
Thanks for your videos. Extremely informative.
