Long time Shoei wearer for street helmets using the X12 for the last bunch of helmets and it works well on the S10. Wear a Bell when out on my dirt bike or serious S10 dual purposing. Decided to look at the Hornet to try and bridge the gap as the Bell is in no way quiet at rode speed.
Visit Cycle Gear last night to compare the Horet against its competitors, AFCX, Icon, Fly and the Arai and was surprised to see BILT had just come out we a pretty good looking and feeling helmet. Fit and finish was on par with all others. The visor just might be the best outside of the Icon and the Arai. The Hornet visor seems flimsy in comparison.
For the $99 I lmost went for it but then I remembered the need for quiet and the adage that you get what you pay for!
Anyone try the BILT helmet yet?
