Bell Powersports Qualifier Motorcycle Helmets

Very nice helmet. Fits well, though I up-sized slightly "off chart" after trying one on locally. Interior padding is very comfortable. The photochromatic shield is amazing. It really does work wonderfully reacting to lighting conditions, and never fogs (to clarify, I got the Qualifier DLX Mip, though the listing currently shows Gloss Black as the standard Qualifier). I questioned the worth of the breath deflector, but after removing it to try riding without it I've been convinced. It really does work. All in all, a very nice helmet at a very reasonable price. Worth the price difference for the DLX vs standard Qualifier just for the light sensitive shield, but it also includes Mips safety, breath deflector, and chin dam.

it was a nice helmet but too small

I don't have a motorcycle. I have a fast electric kick scooter that does about 30mph. So I wanted a helmet with full face protection and this was a bit more than I needed. That's the only real reason it didn't work out for me. I needed something more like a light ATV/dirtbike helmet, not a motorcycle helmet. If you are buying your first motorbike helmet and need something economical this is a pretty great option. If I ever buy an electric motorcycle that goes over 45mph I will definitely consider getting another one of these. It fits better than most lower priced helmets out there so you can actually follow the measurement guidelines and feel confident in the fit. The lens on the windscreen is really clear and has very little distortion. I can't compare the noise levels at high speeds but I can say that I appreciate the minimum sound loss you experience while wearing it. Comfort is really the highlight here. I definitely like the way it fits. It's heavier than what I need it for but I've worn other motorcycle helmets and can attest that it's a lightweight helmet. If I were to change one thing I'd say it should be the chin strap. Lacing the strap through the metal loops everytime you put it on would be a real bummer. If you are going on a long ride it's no big deal but if you're hitting several stops around town it would be cumbersome. Great helmet!

For the price, it’s a decent helmet to start out with. The visor isn’t tinted like it shows in the picture… and like I expected. It’s clear.

I experienced my first fall with this helmet recently, and I have to say it performed beautifully! While the fall wasn’t too severe, I’m convinced my face would have been in rough shape without it. The helmet took the impact and ended up with a few scratches, but my head and face are completely unharmed. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase—highly recommend!

I thought it was too tight at first. After wearing it a little, it broke in just right. About as comfortable as a full helmet can be, I guess. They're all hot, heavy, and constrictive. But it's better than having your face ripped off. A helmet probably won't save your life. But it will allow you to have an open casket funeral. Nice quality. The face opening wraps around far enough that I can see behind me reasonably well when I turn my head. I couldn't get my glasses on with this helmet. I cut the ear pieces off of one pair and just slip them on. The padding in the helmet is tight enough against my cheeks to hold the glasses in place. I only need them at night. I may cut a pair of cheap sunglasses the same way for daytime riding. It will be cheaper than purchasing a tinted shield at $139.00.

Ever since I was a kid in the 1950s and my neighbor rode dirt bikes across the desert, I like this helmet. I thought it was really cool. It was a bell. When I told him that I was going to get a motorcycle a very strongly encouraged me to get a bell helmet. he told me it saved a friend of his life. Ever since then, I have used bell helmets. The new one that I got has a place for a communication system, which is nice. It also has an easy release strap which I didn’t think I would like, but it is very convenient. It is well vented, but the vents can also be closed when it’s cooler. I always recommend a bell helmet for the security and safety that provides.

This is my second helmet, my first was an HJC Sy-max 3 that was given to me by a friend. This is much lighter, but it's a little louder. I feel pretty safe in it, haven't crashed yet to field test though. Air flow is pretty limited, the chin vents don't do a whole lot for some reason and the top vents are literally just verticle holes, so it doesn't let in much air. Plenty gets in under the chin though, unless you use a bandana or balaklava. I'm a pretty neutral round head shape, veru little oval, and the medium fits a little snug on me personally but there are no pressure points. Great cheap first helmet, especially if you're not going faster than highway speeds.

This is a very good quality helmet. It feels firm and strong, but it scratches more easily than I expected.

I thought the liners were too tight, but I washed them a couple of times after long rides and the helmet fits like a glove. Stick to the sizing chart and give it some break-in time.

Everything was perfect except visor was not tinted as advertised.

wish it came with a tinted visor

Fits well. Have not received the above.
