Ring My Bell
Bought this in June and got it in July. I replaced a 2018 Bell Star. New Helmet seems to run small so I ordered an XL instead of a Large and it saved me from having to return it. Light weight and comfortable. Installed Cardo System. Love it.

Great helmet
Love it. I stand in between an L and XL, the L was a bit too snug to my liking so I ended up ordering the XL. Still snug on the cheeks but comfortable even on longer rides. First time I have visor that I don't hate, its photochromic feature is definitely a must!

Fantastic helmet
Beauty helmet. Fit is snug which is perfect. Tinting visor is a game changer.

Great Quality
Helmet has great fitment, comfort and build quality.
My only complaint is that the "Fast House" decal is on the left side, positioned where a comms system is usually placed, which then covers part of the decal which is an oversight.

Middling experience so far.....
Pros: The photochromatic visor works really well, it fits snug but still comfortable, I expect that it will pack out a bit with further wearing (only been using it for about 2 weeks so far), installing Cardo Freecom was a breeze particularly running the speaker wires, the safety ratings
Cons: Maybe it's just me or it will change with use, but I find it noisy as heck - tons of wind noise. I can still hear the Cardo speakers but I was hoping for something a lot quieter based upon the other reviews I have read elsewhere. I swapped out a Scorpion EXO R420 for it and I think the Scorpion might have been a bit quieter. Hence the three stars, maybe a bit harsh but it really surprised me.
If I figure out what I may be doing wrong, if I am, then I'll amend my review.

Feeling a little light headed
Very light, only worn it 4 or 5 times so it is not broken in yet. I really like the transition shield which seems to transition fairly quickly. I have a 2017 Bell Star and now seems to be quite heavy compared to the new Race Star. I have a 2018 Kawasaki z900RS Cafe and the helmet colors match the bike.

Questions
Bonjour, est-ce que model à de l'espace pour les speaker?
Oui. Il y a des pochettes prévus pour y installer un système de communication.

please confirm: ordering in Canada, does it come with the Panovision ProTint Photochromatic shield? Or just come with a Panovision Pinlock Clear shield installed and an additional Panovision Dark Smoke Pinlock shield in the box? Ty
Yes, this ships with a PANOVISION PROTINT™ shield installed. It does not come with an additional shield.
