Yes... but
This is a very light helmet, looks nice, very solid, good quality, but...
My LS2 Subverter is the most comfortable helmet I've owned, so I ordered this in the same size. (L)
It is TIGHT!
I took 3 months of riding to finally stop getting headaches after an hour. I also had to keep massaging and pressing the inner front and back every time I held it, in order to get it to compress until it stopped hurting... so... they run small, even compared to other helmets in the same brand. Cheekpads are tight too, but I got used to it.
It is very noisy. Like noisier than my 100$ Nenki chinese cheapo helmet. I am tall and ride a KTM 1190. Buffeting can be a nightmare. However it's great if I stand up at 100kmh, so aerodynamics are great, it's just poor insulation.
I saw many reviews that complained about the screws falling out... BELIEVE them! The screw holding my peak and visor flew out while on the highway. Once it falls out, there is nothing holding that side of your visor... luckily I had duck tape to finish my trip, and also luckily it happened on the last day. If you get this helmet... take the screws out, and immediately put thread-lock on them or you will regret it.
It is well ventilated and the pinlock does a good job. But that also means that it IS cold.
Sun-visor should go down another 1/2 inch at least. Ah well.
Sun visor mechanism is.. meh... ok, and the visor doen't have a notch at the bottom, so you can't pull it down with your fingers.
View port is HUGE
Visor doesn't ratchet, and will slide down if you just want it cracked open
Visor lock is easy to operate and works well.
Comes with a really nice bag for winter storage
So... overall it's main selling point is that it's light... and it IS LIGHT!
But for everything else.... It's well built but nothing more, and it runs small...
For that amount of money... I dunno if it's worth it.

Ok helmet. I expected more, but I'm satisfied
Pros :
Looks good, comfortable fit
Not great, not bad:
Noise and airflow
Cons:
The magnetic strap digs into your Adams apple (I cut mine off an replaced them with DD straps from an older retired helmet), the retractable tinted visor does not go down as far as I would like

Excellent produit pour tête ovale
Produit de qualité. Inclut visière double anti-buées, Housse et superbe sac de transport. Malheureusement je n’ai visiblement pas la physionomie pour cette forme de casque. Je l’ai retourné.

Good but also not the best!
recently bought this helmet, lets call it good.
riding a F800GSA... even with the windshield i get shaky plasticky vibrations from the peak... the helmet is em well.. loud... padding seems to be very minimal and "missing" around the ears... i would imagine its for the Com-system...
although i dont see where you would install the receiver unit on the helmet.
The helmet is also quite cold if youre riding in the colder months, so wear thermal gear under it.
vision is GREAT, love the shape
Breathes really well.
oh and seems to be designed to protect your neck area from rock etc.
clip is very sturdy and easy to use

Questions
Which shield i can get tinted to replace the clear one. I dont figure wich model i need.
Unfortunately, we only, carry the sun visor, not the shield.
The link below will only bring you to the sun visor.
