Great Touring Helmet
I bought this helmet based on good reviews and compatibility with Sena SMH10 communication system. It has met my expectations well - excellent for touring with a passenger; not so good for solo blasting (which is fine because that's not what it's designed for and I have a full face helmet for those days). When cruising on a county road at 80 km/h, it's perfect. Wind noise tolerable, intercom perfect for chatting. Highway at 100 km/h, the wind noise makes me wish I had ear plugs in (and intercom at full volume gets a bit much). Highway at 120 kph borders on unpleasantly noisy (and forget about the intercom). Got caught in a thunderstorm/torrential downpour - helmet performed well: good visibility, completely dry. My girlfriend preferred the look without the visor (see photo) - super easy to detach.

New Bell Helmet
I was nervous about buying a helmet without trying it on. My new Bell Mag 9 came quickly,the sizing was perfect and I saved a bunch of money over locally available brands. Totally happy with purchase!!

Comfortable but noisy helmet
I bought my Mag 9 three years ago. It is a very comfortable and I like the flip up visors. But it is unbearbly noisy at highway speeds. Offering quieter cheek pads for those of us that do not intend to use an intercom system would be great.
Fortunately buying some 3M yellow neon earplugs on Amazon reduced the wind noise to a comfotable level.
Recently I have had problems with the sun visor coming loose on one side. There are no instructions with the helmet on how to install it. But on the Bell web site there is a PDF file that shows how to install it by placing it in the down posistion.
After 31,000 kilometers of riding the clear outer visor now needs replacing, but costs $54 plus HST to replace. It is also hard to find on this web site, the sun visor keeps popping up. To finf it search Bell Helmets, select lowest prices, go to page 2.

Great Helmet
J'ai acheté ce casque en 2015 avec le système de communication Sena 10s. J'aime beaucoup ce casque.. il est confortable et le double visière est très pratique surtout lorsque je fais mais grand voyage de plus de 5000 km. Le bouton pour accéder à la Lune le soleil est très facile à utiliser même avec des gar le bouton pour accéder à la Lune le soleil est très facile à utiliser même avec des gants. La visière également étanche à la pluie. J'aime bien le côté pratique du système intégré de communication spécifique à Sena. Le point négatif du casque est le bruit du vent qui est désagréable. Je dois utiliser des bouchons pour atténuer le bruit du vent. Sinon je donnerai cinq étoiles à ce casqur.

Bell Is Back
Bought this helmet as I have an adventure bike and want better visibility and the ability to communicate with my riding partner. Like the helmet and the feel, very comfortable. Helmet is a little loud with windnoise. Will be purchasing the Sena com unit to fit this helmet.

Very nice 3/4
I bought this in December so have used it very little so far, it's a light helmet loaded with cool features!
The helmet fits very well so should be a good helmet for long rides. My only concern is it is not as quiet as I would have liked.

Questions
I'm considering this helmet but I'm curious about how well it protects the wearer from rain? I live on the Sunshine Coast, BC and sometimes my commute can get a little soggy. Thanks in advance.
I wore that helmet in 2 days of torrential rain during a safety course and stayed dry as a bone. The only issue I had was rain coming down my neck from the back of the helmet...which is quite normal. I have had zero issues with this helmet, and the built-in communicator works almost seamlessly.

Does this fit the same as the Bullit, wondering what size to order. Thanks
Both have the same sizing chart, but the Bullit is more of a round oval compared to the Mag-9 which has an intermediate oval internal head shape.

I have a Cardo Scala RiderQ3 head set, can it be installed on/in this helmet?? (My SR controller is exterior mounted on my current helmet, with speakers in ear pockets)
The Cardo Scala Rider Q3 cannot be used with the side port, as this is designed to fit a Sena SMH10. However, it can always be mounted traditionally with a helmet clamp or sticky mount.

Does it include the speakers and the mic, or should I buy the clamp kit?
It does not come with speakers or mic. You have to purchase your self

Love the Bell Mag-9 helmet with price.Many folks in review comment about wind noise and noisy helmet. Can you comment on this aspect. Seems to be only real negative!
Often air flow will lead to noise. If you want to eliminate this, I would suggest ear plugs.

Presently on my second Mag8 with Senh5. Will the same mounting bracket work on the Mag9 or will I have to purchase mounting kit or hole new system ? By the way first Mag 8 was destroyed when I met up with a gravel shoulder head first worked well.
I'm running the SMH-10 on my Mag-9. I can't find a fit compatibility guide, so I'd recommend trying your Sena kit on the new helmet before investing in a replacement.
