    I have the 2018 model and the seam is gone. Fits perfectly, good feeling of space and unrestricted vision, great airflow. Made my own chin sock and used Velcro to attach it. The whistle comes from the rear vent when you turn your head. I put a strip of sponge inside the rear vent (from the inside of the helmet) and the whistle is gone yet I still have airflow. This is a great helmet especially if you like the comfort of 3/4 helmets, the Bullitt gives that with a chin guard, great!

    Hello again Mr Tony Caveman:-) I bought the Bell Bullitt (Black carbon) last season partly based on your nice review, partly based on safety and partly based on the helmets great design. Luckily for me the fit in size XL is superb. No marks in my forehead :-)
    Because i usually ride with others communication is required. After some research i went with the Sena 20s due to it`s excellent sound quality, long battery life and good range. The "attachment-clamp" is way to narrow for the Bullitt, so i went with the glued option. This works very well. The speakers are slim and fitted nicely in the pre-made holes in the helmet. Real easy fit. Also using the "boom-mic". The sound quality, even in high speed, is incredible. I called my wife while doing 80 (km pr hour, not miles) and was able to convince her that i was sitting in the garden at home:-))
    I was a bit worried that the Sena-module would ruin the great look of the helmet, but it is really not that bad. It is still the best looking helmet out there in my opinion. Would like to post a picture, but this is not possible on this platform (?).
    Keep up the good work and drive safe! Best regards from The Norwegian Caveman

    I've had one for 4 years now, first series ivory with two red circles on the sides. It was hard for my head the first two months, then it adapted very well. It fits now like a glove. Noisy and overvented in very cold days, but I don't go very fast. i love it. Best full face with a big opening, it feels almost like an open face helmet. And very well built.

    Great review Tony, I have the Bullitt RSD medium fit in white and Gold, had it just over 18 months now, I would agree with all you say, great vision, especially blindspots, which is why I bought it after wearing open face for a couple of years... I find it a very comfy fit, no tight spots, only slight criticism is wind noise over 50mph... other than that it's great and looks the part with a retro bike, would definitely buy it again.

    I bought one, I have sticky out ears, which would always get twisted or pulled about, when putting on.
    Once helmet is on, it's a nice snug fit. I bought a summer lightweight balaclava, now helmet slides on like a slipper, was thinking of getting rid of it till then. Plus don't have to worry about stinky helmet, just wash balaclava. Minor problem solved.

    Great review! I have always been an open face helmet guy but finally looking to get a full face. Too many friends nagging me about safety... So I am giving in. I absolutely LOVE the field of view with a full faced helmet which is why I am leaning to the Bullitt. So does this fit true to size? You said you wear a large in this helmet, is that the same size in other helmets for you? How is the helmet when riding with the shield up? I am very much shield up sunglasses kind of guy.... and finally I saw your review of the Bell Eliminator as well. Would you consider that a large field of view for a full faced helmet or a smaller one? I really dig the throw back retro look and not into the “sporty” helmets out there and it seems like everyone is building the sporty looking helmets these days.

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks, I found it a little bit smaller than usual, but then I don’t have a Bell head shape. Maybe a good alternative is the Bell Moto 3 or Shoei Ex-Zero? Just like an open face, but with the chin bar and no shield. Perfect for sunglasses or goggles th-cam.com/video/WQMxMEtIZXY/w-d-xo.html

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks, functionally its fine other than the issue I have with the liner. What i was getting at is its much like an open face helmet in use, but with chin protection. Its not to everyones taste admittedly. I'm hoping to try out the new Shoei RYD. Although not a retro helmet, its 'toned down' and not an aggressive race inspired helmet which seems to be common.

    Hi Tony, I also live in Essex and ride my CB1100 on the country lanes, most of the time I've been riding with open face just to give me that field of vision, I've been considering the Bell Bullitt for about a year now, firstly because its retro, but also because i thought it would still give me that excellent field of vision that an open face provides, gutted to hear that its noisy, but hopefully the noise level isn't any worse than riding with an open face helmet? your thoughts on this would be great. I also use ear plugs 100% of the time, so hopefully wont effect me. Have subbed also, channel looks interesting! Thanks, Paul.

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Paul, a fellow Essex boy! I would say its no worse than an open helmet (but I suppose that depends on the helmet) If you wear earplugs all the time, then there is nothing to worry about, and the field of view is just as good as an open face. Thanks for the Sub, much appreciated.

    • @mountainbikerpaul2267
      @mountainbikerpaul2267 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wish I knew about this channel when I got into motorcycles. Great review! I am looking at this helmet to upgrade my 3/4 helmet. Based on my headshape, I'm confident this would fit well. I'm just concerned about this wind noise and whistling I read about and that you mentioned. I only wear my 3/4 Biltwell Bonanza for shorter non-highway rides topping out at like 80km/hr (i wear an arai full face for longer/highway rides). I wear ear plugs most of the time. Given that I am ok with the wind noise from a 3/4 helmet, do you think I could accept the wind noise from the bell bullitt or is it much worse you think?

    Hi Tony, nice review of the long term use of this helmet. I'm really interested in it from the field of vision aspect as I've found that wearing a full face makes me dizzy and claustrophobic since a non related bike accident a few years ago, add some speed and I can't ride. I'm currently using a open face which I find has helped so it will be interesting to see how this compares. Have you found the bubble shaped visor better?

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I learned many years ago that my head shape doesn't allow me to wear a Bell helmet. (No my head isn't square). After trying several brands at the dealership, I learned that the answer was a Shoei helmet with a minor relief in the right side forehead area which their customer service did at no charge and expedited the work and free overnight shipping. Your mileage may vary.

    I have this exact same helmet in xxl purchased 4+ years ago and I just can’t wear it. I have to pull the helmet apart sideways just to get it on. My chin touches the bar, my pinched ears and crushed forehead cry out in agony and the overly tight fit gives me claustrophobia. The ironic thing is that the cheap Bell qualifier (in XL) fits like a glove as does the new bell 500 retro 3/4 helmet. What went wrong here? I just went out in the garage to give this helmet another chance after many years and I had to yank it back off. Still terrible.

      Hey no, due to the suede inside I recommend a ski mask or something similar made of silk. If you sweat, you can wash it easily and protect the inner lining of the helmet. Also, it does reduce the wind noises a ted while riding 90 mph or above.

    Hello, good review ! I have this helmet and I got the same lines on my forehead, pretty annoying ! Did you actually try to trade the liner for the custom 500 ? Can it be done ? Thx !

    What about noise?

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s not the quietest helmet, but I almost always wear ear plugs

    Bell bullitt or the shoei ex zero if only one pick for retro helmet?

    • @mancavemoto

      Personally, it’s Ex Zero

      Comfort mainly, the Shoei fits me much better than the Bell. Its quieter, more comfortable, but obviously doesn't have a full visor.

    Whistling like riding through a tornado this helmet will make you deaf vision just bell scrimping on carbon fibre

    Tried on L XL 2XL and forehead area is a massive flaw on Bell's part. I will keep my old Bell Zephyr which is far more comfortable. I guess they don't test out products before they churn them out anymore.

      That was my only real issue with the Bullitt, but it wasn't so bad that it made the helmet uncomfortable.

    Most uncomfortable helmet I have ever worn in 35 years of riding. Just fucking painful.

    I like the paint but it's fucking ugle dude. It looks like it came straight out of Space 1999 or Thunderbirds.

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was a bit underwhelmed when I first saw a picture, but it looks better in the metal. There are a few bits I’d like to change, but I guess that’s the point....

    "Doesn't fit alot of head shapes" , tend to think thats not ideal for a helmet honestly. The paint job is quite good but damn that is an uggggly thing.

    Not great don’t buy one it’s crap summer helmet that’s all looks 9 useage and function 4 big visor just means bell scrimping on carbon carbon costs money air costs nothing
