Bell Star

[Amber Lamps]

Got the new lid and I must say it's quite nice! Not a huge fan of the design but the finish is top notch for sure. The lining is on par with my Shark lids. Best of all, the damn thing is pre set up for a J&M headset!!!!:rockwoot:

The box contained a PREMIUM bag. You'd pay $50 for the bag. The bag contains a spare shield holder and a couple pockets for gloves, etc. It also came with spare cheek pads, the 40mm pads were installed and it came with 50mm as well, pretty cool. There's a "stabilizer strip" to install and manuals, lube, etc. Of course, I haven't ridden with it yet but it's pretty light and has a crap load of air intakes, so I'm guessing a lot of airflow.

Here are some pics,

I'd say a few more than the Shark but not much...:idk:

Looks better in the pics you took AL :dthumb:

You'll have to let us know how you like it after you ride in it.

let me know how it is when you ride with it.


I have a Shark now.........and i am looking for a new lid.

[Cutty72]

Interested in knowing how loud it is.
SBTG compared it to the X-11, as just as comfortable, slightly quieter but with less airflow.

Have you ever used a X-11? Just wondering for comparison.

[ontwo]

Thanks for the info. I may get one
Just not that design :lol:

[Dnyce]

if it werent for the snakes, i wouldve gotten that one instead of the gobert. the color combo otherwise is pretty badass.

agreed. The snakes just throw it off imho...but for $100, I couldn't go wrong.

Nah, my last Shoei was an X-8 or 9...:lol: Then I was all Arai, now Shark. maybe Bell next...if they can come out with a reasonable design that is. Suomy, Bell and Icon have never made a design that I REALLY liked.:idk:

I had it for $89 but bought the normal dk smoke instead.

[Dnyce]

$89 shipped? link me....

It was on sale, sale is over, sorry. The only reason was that I got the DK Smoke with the lid so I saw no reason to buy the other shield...for now. I may buy another Bell Star this Spring if they can come up with a design I like or at least solid white, yeesh. They do have some ugly helmets for sure!

Cold nights, the visor is fog city. The nose bridge/guard doesn't do much to help either.

Yea this lid is hella loud compared to the RSR2, its not even close. Lots of air=noise.

[tallywacker]

That is one ugly ass helmet.

the loudness doesnt really bother me, but it seems weird that with all that air, it fogs up.
