Helmet Makes the Man

The Bell that replaced my Icon Alliance SSR...

What bell is that?

What bell is that?

It's a Vortex.

How do you like it? I've been looking at them..... I'd like the damage graphic but everyone is sold out. Seems like a good helmet with great reviews

i have an Acerbis Active, i like it, reviews have been meh, but i like it anyway, noise is less then my FFM.

only thing i need for it now is a Pinlock or Fogcity anti fog insert. anyone know if there is one that with fit this helmet?

My cool new helmet I picked up today.... guy on Craigslist had a brand spanking new icon airframe in claymore graphics. $300 brand new I got it for $150. Still had the shield sticker on. It fits a little tight which surprised me but I like it!!!! Goes with my icon jacket and pants and new gloves I picked up today as well.

Hey greasy, I know you got a new helmet but I thought I'd at least still mention that I like my Bell Vortex. The Vortex is a little bigger on the outside than my old Icon Aliance SSR (had the Operator with Rubatone finish) but it feels really good.
Inside the helmet it is comfortable and feels like it is more secure. It also has a good airflow and is breatheable. Outside doesn't get buffeted that much, in my opinion.
Hope that helps for future reference, or for anyone else that might be thinking about one.

I'm still gonna get one but I'm waiting on the damage graphic to come available...... I just could pass up the icon helmet..... $300 helmet for half the price I call that a good deal.....

Here is the bell vortex damage.....

AFX-FX39DS ... Great helmet ... they were going for less than $100 when I picked this one up ... they're a little more now that they've gained some popularity ... I also have 2 simpson helmets but I don't wear them out often, along with an Arai Quantum E but it's about to be retired ...

so my Acerbis Avtive is real good... ONLY in the Dry.... it leaks like hell when it rains. tried contacting Acerbis but never got a response. want to take it back but cant find the receipt...

My new helmet for the last month or so. Speed and strength ss2500 in matte black. Great helmet a little more wind noise than my hjc but looks bad ass.

Shoei rf-1100. It's a great helmet. Smaller in looks, very lightweight, cuts the wind great at cruising speeds of 80-85. And the best airflow I have ever had in a helmet

I don't know if it's possible to have a better match... and I owned the helmet first.
HJC red Carbon FS15. They sell the carbon helmets in a couple colors (incase you had an amber wheel bike )

I also have a Sparx S07 and a Sparx Nexus... but neither match the bike as well (white and red).

The red on the back is reflective sticker vinyl. (Pic with flash on)

 

[SEXT9]

You're right! That is an amazing match up.

nice I love my hjc fs 15 carbon helmet
