NinjaDad Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) The bell revolver evo is a very noisy helmet at speed. the wind noise comes from the hinge area. I have had this helmet less than a week and the magnet that holds the chin strap fell off. i will be testing tape on the helmet to see if i. can quite it down. i miss my agv and bell star II.

Gixxus Christ! Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks for the tip. Next time buy a high end icon or arai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm suprised BELL put their name on it. Many other quality flip up helmets out there these days. Nolan is my personal Fav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 You said it right Jagr. Bell put their name on it, but they don't make it. If you want a quiet modular be prepared to shell out major cash: Shoei Neotec or Schuberth C3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) If you want a quiet modular be prepared to shell out major cash: Shoei Neotec or Schuberth C3.+1I bought the Shoei Neotec Saturday. It is an amazing helmet. It's quiet even with both shields up. First time I have ever stepped up and bought a high end helmet. I am now kicking myself for not doing it sooner. My wife loves her Nolan, it just doesn't fit my head right. Edited May 15, 2012 by Tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I enjoy my Scorpion EXO-900 its fairly quiet and very comfy IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDad Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Bell is sending a replacement part for the chin strap. They are also sending something to help make it quieter. N/C This is my 1st cheap hemet but I thought with the Bell name I couldn't go wrong. The helmet is very comfortable though. Next helmet will get a test drive though.

Tonik Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 546 for the gay colors, 596 for the non gay colors at IP. I found that rather gay and almost left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDad Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 tonik the ear plugs would have worked better. what they sent was a pair of u shaped foam peices that went around the chin strap where it goes into the shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
