Bell M1 Century

Overall quality and finish is good but the wind noise is too much and irritating.

Brilliant quality lid and at this price simply cannot be touched; I've had all the top brands before and the Bell outscores them all. As soon as I tried the M1 on it felt just right, perfect fit and very comfortable. Only thing I've added is a Foggy Respro mask which I always do to my lids as it makes riding in colder weather a pleasure and not a pain. Got the black visor aswell for sunny days - very easy to fit/change. Feather light too and no discernable buffeting due to the clever windtunnel design. I'll be getting a second one this summer - they're that good.

I've just taken delivery of my first Bell helmet and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. Being new to modern day motorcycling,, after riding nothing but motocross bikes some tenty odd years ago, I had previously purchased a RST cobra vent helmet. This helmet was fine until it took an unexpected fall from a first floor window after a freak gust of wind caused an unexpected draft in the office! Needless to say the RST didn't survive and I was placed in the market for another helmet.

Upon reviewing the market place I came across the Sharp test that rates helmets by data produced by certain stringent tests. I looked into all types and makes of helmet reviewing their individual Sharp test results against cost (I'm not overly flush)and owner reviews.

All this led me to Bell M1 Tracker (in black) which is a fantastic helmet for the price-150 pounds-I would have to say that this helmet compares, easily, to helmets double and maybe even triple its price, especially when you see that the 5 star Sharp test rating is in place when a lot of the high end helmets in the market place are 3 & 4's.

Buy one-you wont be disappointed.

P.s I dont work for Bell or a Bell stockist or have any other interest in the company only that I believe that reviews should be honest and unbiased thereby offering other prospective buyers the ability to make an informed choice.

Cheers

I looked around for a 5 star rated helmet, the fit of the Bell M1 Century was slightly out at front of head but when I asked supplier who had recommended slightly pushing interior gently at forehead, that made all the difference and has been fantastinc for 3000 miles so far, for the price I can not fault this helmet so far.
