comes with a bag, dark and clear visor. TBH, they are extremely well vented, I never really need a pinlock, they are by far the best helmet ive ever had for not misting up. That Nolan and Arai and even the Agv mist up looking at them when your excited.

Yes the carbon/gold is a thing of beauty!

I got the XL in the M5X and a good fit, same as an HJC XL.

My smoked visor has split where the tear off tab is which is a bit annoying, but the build is good and the visor is really thick and has a very solid feel to it when you open and close it.

I am still tempted and npw back to looking at Shoei's and HJC's in comparison.

They say they are ACU gold approved, does it come with the sticker and will they be allowed on track days with out? As my M5x doesn't have one so I don't dare use it on a track day.

It says that but comes with a bag and stuff. Said the exact same with my Nolan, and hey presto a black visor. I think they just do that so you buy a bloody visor. I bought one last year and it came with all the bits and bobs, its sold as a unit with bell

wear mines at all my trackdays, no limits, knockhill and msvt. Doesn't have a sticker. NO issue whatsoever.

Dennis Hobbs (he works for knockhill as a supervisor most trackdays etc) even said how wicked my wonder woman one was, when I pointed out its not got a sticker he didn't care in the slightest.

I just ordered a large as that is what I am in Shoei and Shark. If it doesn't fit I'll exchange, no big deal.

If you take an xxl for the c3 pro let me know as I have a hardly used one I rarely wear and looking to sell. It'll be including built in comms. The helmet is the new black and white design.

£180 for a carbon Bell.


But on a serious note that's an awesome deal. Love the look of carbon helmets.

Don't forget to claim back the VAT if they charge you. Crash helmets are not liable for VAT

Cheers for the offer, but I'm a definite medium, I've tried them on so many times just never been able to haggle out a deal I was happy with!

I got it the same time you got yours, so not new but hasn't had much use as I use my HJC carbon for track and general use.

The colour is a mix of white/red/green and graphics. I seem to recall it costing around £110

i'll pass then I have that in wonder woman colours.

I'd just keep it, a few tried to buy them cheap then sell them at almost RRP or the going rate on Ebay, they sat for ages until they went for slightly more than amazon. When you consider Paypal and ebay take 14% off you for the pleasure of selling your item, and you can get a new one for £89 you might not get as much as you'd think.

It only takes one spill or even a drop to write a helmet off, always good to have a spare, especially if you do trackdays. Though I seem to collect them like the other half has handbags.

just a thought, not trying to teach you how to suck eggs. Plus, it would appear, and I done my usual and skim read everything on the internet at work that the bd has went to the challenge of taking the dark visor and bag out. They come as a package but he strongly words his advert that it doesn't, it mentioned only a clear before and one showed up but not in the statement johney highlighted. I do go on don't I.
