What u ride?

That is a great looking helmet. I'm surprised the are still for sale I thought Bell had finally discontinued them after having them for years. Get the "Transitions" shield that changes with light conditions. I have it and it is absolutely amazing.

Yes... Transition Shield is a must and comes with it. Total package is 250 for Devil May Care model...but they're both nice. Don't match the bike but a great looking helmet.
-
That's a cool looking helmet. Even if it was bright pink, it would still be cool. On motorcycles, it's not a matter of if, but when you are going to get in a wreck. Gotta protect that 3.5lbs of fat in your skull if you want to enjoy a long life.

Does anyone have experience using bluetooth helmets?
I trail ride on atv's weekly, and sometimes daily, and am looking to purchase a new hemet with bluetooth capabilities so that I can listen to music/answer calls while riding.
Bilt has the "Techno 2.0" hemet out and i like it but im wondering zbout sound quality...
-
Bilt is poor quality.
You can call our store if you want and talk to "Mike", in our parts department who is an expert on this, I am not.

you don't have to be buying here, just get some quality advice.

Thanks Zoney, I will do that!
-
The 'Flying Tiger' certainly looks great :)
One minus point for me: as I commute daily in all kinds of weather, I would immediately switch the visor for a clear visor (dark visors are dangerous IMO when riding through a tunnel or whenever the light conditions decrease) equipped with a true anti-fog system similar to Pinlock.
-
+1 on the Flying Tiger.
I also have a pinlock on my Shoei - it's yellow and my shield itself is clear. I echo deSelys's comments that you need to be mindful about darkened shields and recommend a clear shield with a pinlock type anti-fog.
You'll appreciate a pinlock type of system on cool/cold, rainy and humid days.

He's going with the "Transitions" visor. they are clear at night, no tint at all, and then they get darker depending how bright the sunlight is, they work very quickly too, about 15 seconds from clear to full tint so it changes as you ride.
-
I tried those and got rid of them as soon as I went through a tunnel.
First time was during the day, it was a bit unnerving when I could not see anything in the tunnel for a few seconds.
Bu that was nothing when I came back through that tunnel at night and it was brightly lit inside. I came out of it not being able to see anything and almost hit a deer.
Took that off, right then and there and rode without. Luckily I was behind a fairing so it was not too bad. The convenience is not worth what can happen, that one moment where you are blind.
-
OK. If you had on a tinted visor it would have been to dark for the tunnel Skuzzy. If you had on a clear visor you would have blinded by the sunlight when you came out of the tunnel anyway.
I've never ridden through a tunnel with mine on.
Do you ride with a tinted or clear visor sir?
-
It was a transitions visor and have since put the clear one back on, with a bill.
-
Mine...it's been slightly customized. ;)

these are amazing for riding.. dunno about answering your phone.. but their sound is great and noise isolation is perfect..
-
Thanks for the consideration kappa,
I use a set of skullcandy bluetooth earbuds now and they are great. Im looking for a helmet that offers built in bluetooth capability so i can get away from the ear buds completely.
-
I like it.
Mine has just stickers. Bullet holes, skull, and a fist flipping the finger.
Next one has all firefly related stuff on it, but I doubt I'll use it.
