Powersports Qualifier

Very nice helmet. Fits well, though I up-sized slightly "off chart" after trying one on locally. Interior padding is very comfortable. The photochromatic shield is amazing. It really does work wonderfully reacting to lighting conditions, and never fogs (to clarify, I got the Qualifier DLX Mip, though the listing currently shows Gloss Black as the standard Qualifier). I questioned the worth of the breath deflector, but after removing it to try riding without it I've been convinced. It really does work. All in all, a very nice helmet at a very reasonable price. Worth the price difference for the DLX vs standard Qualifier just for the light sensitive shield, but it also includes Mips safety, breath deflector, and chin dam.

I thought it was too tight at first. After wearing it a little, it broke in just right. About as comfortable as a full helmet can be, I guess. They're all hot, heavy, and constrictive. But it's better than having your face ripped off. A helmet probably won't save your life. But it will allow you to have an open casket funeral. Nice quality. The face opening wraps around far enough that I can see behind me reasonably well when I turn my head. I couldn't get my glasses on with this helmet. I cut the ear pieces off of one pair and just slip them on. The padding in the helmet is tight enough against my cheeks to hold the glasses in place. I only need them at night. I may cut a pair of cheap sunglasses the same way for daytime riding. It will be cheaper than purchasing a tinted shield at $139.00.

I’ve been riding for over 30 years, this means I’ve had all kinds of helmets. I’ve owned helmets that were close to a grand, and some that were less than a hundred. This helmet is superb quality, exceptional comfort right out of the box (required no break in time for me), and packed full of features. There’s a laundry list of pros here: the auto tint visor (takes a few seconds, and gets as dark as any normal tinted visor - not quite dark enough for me to ditch my shades though), the comfort is extra plush, internals are super easy to remove and install my Cardo comm system, safety features built into the shell, it’s fairly quiet, with reasonable air flow, overall the helmet is packed full for this price. I’ve seen this model at my local dealership for just under $500… so I’m living proof that it pays to shop around. Cons: no quick detach on the strap, visor doesn’t get dark enough to ditch my shades… other than these two nit-picky items I’m in love with this helmet… seriously. Only other note I have is to try to find one local to try on before you buy. I’m glad I did, I know I would’ve bought my typical size but after trying one on I bought a size larger. This helmet gets 5 stars from me.

For the price, it’s a decent helmet to start out with. The visor isn’t tinted like it shows in the picture… and like I expected. It’s clear.

First time user. Nice looking helmet, especially at the price point. Very comfortable when you size it correctly. My measured size was very tight, had to move up a size. Be sure to practice fastening the chin strap before you actually need to use it. I was impressed with how easy it was to swap out the visor with the release mechanism.

I don't have a motorcycle. I have a fast electric kick scooter that does about 30mph. So I wanted a helmet with full face protection and this was a bit more than I needed. That's the only real reason it didn't work out for me. I needed something more like a light ATV/dirtbike helmet, not a motorcycle helmet. If you are buying your first motorbike helmet and need something economical this is a pretty great option. If I ever buy an electric motorcycle that goes over 45mph I will definitely consider getting another one of these. It fits better than most lower priced helmets out there so you can actually follow the measurement guidelines and feel confident in the fit. The lens on the windscreen is really clear and has very little distortion. I can't compare the noise levels at high speeds but I can say that I appreciate the minimum sound loss you experience while wearing it. Comfort is really the highlight here. I definitely like the way it fits. It's heavier than what I need it for but I've worn other motorcycle helmets and can attest that it's a lightweight helmet. If I were to change one thing I'd say it should be the chin strap. Lacing the strap through the metal loops everytime you put it on would be a real bummer. If you are going on a long ride it's no big deal but if you're hitting several stops around town it would be cumbersome. Great helmet!

I bought this helmet and it was awesome! Light weight, comfortable and it just looked really cool! Only problem was I ordered the wrong size. Sent it back and was issued a refund and bought the right size. The air vents lets u adjust the amount of air u want flowing through while u ride. DOT certification is also a big plus. Bell has been around for a long time and they make quality stuff! Definitely worth the money. If ur thinking of the 2x go ahead and grab the 3x as they fit snug.

PROS: -Fits great! Tight around the cheeks but not painful anywhere around my head, just as a helmet should be. -Awesome look. The matte black and overall shape make this helmet way sexier to look at than most of the way pricier options on the market. -The easiest visors to pop off and clean I have ever used. CONS: -There are 3 separate front vents, two on the top of the helmet, one for the mouth. These work well, however there isn't any sort of mesh or fabric behind them to stop particles or bugs from flying straight through! Opening a vent literally just creates a giant hole in your helmet that you can peer directly through, so even bee sized bugs can go right through it. Even cheap off brand helmets typically have some sort of mesh behind the vent covers. However, the rear vents have mesh, why not put it on the front!? -LOUD! I'm comparing this to a Bilt helmet and another off brand helmet, both of which can be bought new for <$100. This helmet sounds at least twice as loud to me even at road speeds, to the point where I even wear earplugs now while riding in town.

This is a very good quality helmet. It feels firm and strong, but it scratches more easily than I expected.

I thought the liners were too tight, but I washed them a couple of times after long rides and the helmet fits like a glove. Stick to the sizing chart and give it some break-in time.

Everything was perfect except visor was not tinted as advertised.

wish it came with a tinted visor

Fits well. Have not received the above.
