WTF are you on about man, look, we get it, your not impressed with the quality but you are buying the budget helmet of that range. Amazon have a return policy, by all means vent that your not happy and return it, don't ramble on like an arse listing every crash you had and how the helmet wouldn't save you, oh and plod wont give a fk about your sticker. A bike cop would see Bell and go right no problem a normal plod wouldn't have a fking clue, its not a legal requirement to have one as well.

Oh and BN showed up with his today at Knockhill and got on no questions asked.

I got my M5x, over the moon, whilst I wouildnt have bought it for £350 for the design but for a £100 its a bargain.

visor is a bit of a pain to change but I can live with it

cant figure out how to get the nose guard in

oh and my nose does touch it at times, my god I blinked when I shut the visor I thought it was gone, but then I am rather gifted in the nose department

the wee grey vents aren't in keeping with the helmet

heres the good parts

light as anything, tinted and clear visor, breath guard and an amazing helmet bag, try getting that from Arai.

the paint detail is awesome, its all gold and glittery, so much depth, on a par or better than Arai.

the lining is rather smart, well put together and i'm bloody glad I got it for £100

not ridden in it yet







over the moon thanks for the link

Light? i think it's heavy, but i do have an HJC cardon at 1300gs

The Nose guard just pushes in and looks pretty good, i do find that the opening is quite small in comparison to my HJC, but like you impressed overall. The front vent also works really well.

lighter than my arai's and agv, much lighter.

In areas its not as good as Arai, but in other Arais and the accessories for nothing its far better

(emotional for not finding appropriate counter'action to fraud and deceit of fake BELL from Brussels , with most likely some short skirted executives business of style - in relation of me returning ONLY "Bell M10 helmet" to Amazon" in time...)

Again- I still use LIDL's Crivit helmet! (way better protection)

I'll never forget my late mate that died with an "flashy" looking helmet when he hit tractor and spring of aggregate punctured his brains...

The other name chasing (apart from sensible money saving) and name TARNISHING COUNTER IDEA (too late) developed- I should have taken pictures, videos and forwarded them over actual BELL USA...!!!

Never mind not so obvious fakes appearance of other models, but M10 should be recalled and deemed unfit for sale in Europe!
no?
My $0.02ct on a matter

how is it fraud? its stamped, it gives to the tests its went through

http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/testsratings/bell-m10

Personally i wouldn't have went near it, if you fail to do your research when buying something, especially something as important as a helmet you cant really be to pissed about it, especially when amazon are taking it back even after you went out a ride in it.

Shiiteytttty shiite!
I should have contacted MAG or BMF!

too late, too late...

Fair buddy, fair, BUT the price of this particular "bargain" is not a matter of my personal finances- it is endangering others safety and life!

(had few bevies)

@ review (fair and honest, late one) and user name issue directed comments reply would be... wtf( in copy paste fair comment would be)?

@ ones, believing in good value and "big" named helmet wearers- there was least valued/named brand helmets made by LIDL, that were worlds apart in head protection criteria (5*)

bottom ( last) comment on the "BELL on amazon" helmets- its absolute scam shiite ( M10 most particularly)

2003 got knocked in front of turning car in to the garage... my thinking bits where 6" away from pensioner's front wheel.

about 2000's got pulled over for speeding ( unproven :P ), so my Nolan helmet sticker got me out of further hastle...

in 1998 I had an horrendous accident where my Laser lid saved the brains from spilling on a curb...

unfortunately, since going upmarket and then down market in lids (flip ups only, due to specific trade and ride type changes(lid type preferences)) the latest NASTY SURPRISE - M10 (By Bell allegedly)....
laters chaps!

plain and simple- name faked pile of poo, meant for head protection worth considering quality of brain protecting.... (only best intensios here)

( I do apologize in advance to enthusiastic posters)

I haven't been able to follow anything you're going on about, but judging by the recurring crashes you've been having, that's probably no surprise. No helmet would have saved the clear damage you've received.

I got an m10 today and it looks fine to me. It all works. The paint is fine, 'gaps' look fine. And my review of it can be understood by most on here.
My review- fine.
Now I'm not saying yours is fine, clearly you're unhappy, so return it and get your money or a replacement.
Good luck with the rehab.

HOW THE fk IS IT ANY DIFFERNET FROM BUYING A NCAP 2 STAR stROEN SAXO....

seriously, do I need to tell you i used to work as a lab tech to make you sit up and listen

that helmet has passed the minimum for it to be fit for sale in the UK, EU. It therefore isn't endangering other peoples safety and life. If you buy a 2 star ncap car its your fault if you have a crash and sustain an injury that a 5 star car would have saved you from, just like a helmet.

whilst it would be great if everything met the same standard, it just doesn't. Some designs are primitive, some are rushed to fill a void in there brand, some rushed so much that flaws occur and recalls and further R and D happens. For a man who has spent so long looking up specs im staggered that you didn't look at the sharp ratings.

Now before anyone goes, "ah but sharp is pish" its really not, ive read the paper prolapse got and from the test methods described and the way they perform them the are a bloody good insight and unbiased. Its by far the most comprehensive testing ive seen to date of helmets.

so i beg the question, why didn't you look at the sharp website and see the piss poor results, or if you did why did you choose to buy a helmet that performed so badly. its not a question of money.

research, this isn't the 90's anymore, there is a world of information online, i looked up the sharp ratings, reviews and the like before i bought mines.

Unbelievable!

There is expectancy of Bell or any crash helmet to be of some form of Protection

Particular- disastrous failure! (dangerous)

I did look, but never expected such harsh reality...

I did, unfortunately never paid enough of attention (or clicked further as why or how)... after all it is "Bell", sold by Amazon... unlike total (some better) fake's on eBay...

Good on you, but its wrong to be necessary to be researching on own such as SAFETY of LID " by BELL"
no?

It's relative I think. But it's 100gs heavier than your carbon lid and costs just £100. Personally I'd say it's light. Especially with the bulletproof visor.

Its lighter than my Caberg at 1.45kg, and a yardstick Arai Chaser at 1.5kg.

sorry but you looked and you seen a huge red impact zone, verging on a piss poor result and continued to buy it.

you bought it and it had 3 stars clearly displayed, it's your fault.

whilst I can understand your annoyance from the poor finish quality/damage to it etc, i simply cannot if you looked at the reviews and still bought it.

I mean you read the review, went hmm that's ste results but its BELL, fk it, its well cheap...

i could understand if you bought one in store on a impulse and then found out when you got home it offered as much protection as an egg carton but you read the review you chose to ignore it, its your fault.

just think yourself lucky amazon will take it back and refund you, use this to learn from.

its a bit like buying a holiday online after reading awful reviews on trip advisor then going there and finding its ste only to complain....fking hell i review everything except food...

I think you've had enough attention about this don't you?

You've put the world to rights, you've got your money back, and no one is agreeing with you here. There's nothing more to say.

Buddy, I am sensible, but not that PC savy... I bought the "bucket" and "thanks" to you(!) learned to click further on (on Sharp site) as why it is 3* and how come it is red... once received, had additional shocks to the system (big one's)! Before I bought the thing- there where no reviews at all!!!!!
The annoyance, you seemed to ignore- it is SAFETY LID- no BS of retards trading in names could /should ever be such necessity to do such,
Safety lid, made by "Bell", seriously! (?)- everyone, that bought one (M10) didn't spent that much time researching! (?)

lets see as what they think its is, once tried and tested thoroughly! (?) (hopefully without fatalities)

Again, I did return it, again, it is not about my pennies- particular lid is sooo sub standard, soo plain bad- there more of my personal input should have been, also, from authorities to have it banned outright!! (regardless of me gotten my pennies back or not)
