Bell Race Star Flex DLX Tantrum 2 Hjelm

I've had 1000 Dollar Arai helmets this Bell is every bit as well made. It is a tad lighter than my Corsair X also. This Bell actually flows more air too. On cold days I can feel my mouth and brow area getting cold due to this helmets excellent air flow. You might want to try this helmet on before ordering. I've heard if your ears are large this helmet may give you a problem. One more feature this helmet has is excellent ear phone pockets for large Bluetooth speakers.

Getting the helmet (in the right size) is pretty difficult, since in the Netherlands they have been very little in stock in most stores for several years. Finally was able to buy one and for reference fitted a dirtbike helmet from Bell (Moto-9). Unfortunately the fit was to tight on the forehead (size-S). I had to get a refund, because it was not available in size M for a while so, I bought one in Germany at FC-Moto(didn't go smooth either, but got a decent compensation.

(I tried the helmet once at this point)
Pro's
For the Helmet itself with it's current size it fit way better, maybe a little space just above the ears, but otherwise fine. The special vizor works great and it's nice Bell includes it instead of having to buy some extra vizor. Nice sturdy helmet bag.

Con's
Way more airflow than I anticipated, which probably has to do with the little vent inside the helmet infront of the mouth. Not necessarily an issue, however little bugs somehow got inside the helmet even with all the normal vents closed, which was annoying and distracting (happend for example on the highway). I don't know if maybe one or two sneaked in during refuelling. I will have to give this last one another go, to make sure it's the Helmet not being properly sealed. (The first smaller helmet did not have this issue and I rode that one for longer on the first ride aswell).

Conclusion, a pretty great helmet with good safety features for a decent price. I do think people with a little rounder head would have a better fit. I bought if for it's safety features, which are solid. When I would search again for a helmet I think I would still go back to Shoei and probably would spend a little more to buy the X-SPR Pro and have the best fit for me and enough availability.

Very comfortable, take size up, I’m 58 and ordered M, had to replace with L, now it’s just great.

The visor is so good, no need to cary a clear one anymore :)
