  • I recently switched helmets and purchased a Torc T1. This is a near clone of the Bell Bullitt at half the price! The Torc T1 has a few advantages over the Bell Bullitt in my opinion.

    Bought my Torc T1 Helmet because of this video and am very pleased with it. After a year and a few thousand miles it's still going strong.
    My only gripe is the reflective visor makes it dangerous to use at night, so I swap back and forth a lot.

    Nice review. I like this because it's similar to the Biltwell Gringo which I've had for a couple years. Lots and lots of airflow (without a shield) and feels like wearing a three-quarter with a chin bar. I like this too because it has an even smaller chin bar like the way overpriced Bell Bullitt.

    Great review, thanks! i was thinking to get a Bullit but i saw your review and i like more this Torc, my other helmets are sixe XL, should i get the same size for this one?

    Hey there,
    Great review - thanks for posting.
    I have a strange question regarding fitment. I noticed you said you normally wear a large helmet (as do I) but this helmet doesn't seem to fit true to size and you went to an XL.
    If I may ask (a bizarre question) what size is your pumpkin?
    This seems to be the hardest information one can (or cannot) get on this helmet. I can only buy this helmet online so I want to save myself shipping back and forth for the right size.
    Thanks again.

    I need a replacement for my now ancient HJC helmet. I am really interested in the T1 and Bullitt both. My only disappointment is the lack of bubble shields as an option on the T1. That is about the only thing keeping me from getting this helmet as of right now.

    I can barely get my head in an XXL Biltwell Bonanza, it’s just way too small but I wear a large in the Torc T1 and it’s super comfy and perfect for me.
    I wear snug 7 3/4 baseball hats. Hope that can help someone out.

    Thanks for the review...would you mind saying what your riding? I ‘ve seen a lot of these reviews and comments but without knowing what you are riding things like sound etc could be affected....I ride a Road Glide so obviously have a fairing which should help with wind and noise. Thanks

      I haven’t worn it in heavy rain yet. Last trip I took I hit a brief light rain shower but nothing heavy. It did keep me dry. I think the ability to close the vents in the front will make this better in the rain then the Bell Bullitt. Thanks for watching!

      I’m an Asian guy with a globe shaped head and it fits wonderfully. I’ve tried the Bell Bullet and it pinches at the temple (even though people say it’s good for round heads). I love my Torc T-1. Got the dark shield (which is useless at night) ... it makes you look like a 80’s Bond villain!

    • @hdmotoman
      @hdmotoman  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately, I have not tried to install a Bluetooth headset in my helmet yet. I do have plans to set this helmet up for motovlogging with a wired microphone. Are you having trouble running the wires underneath the helmet padding? If so, try more towards the side of the helmet. There seems to be more room in the helmet padding the closer you get to the chin strap. Thanks for watching!

      HD Motoman i dont have any issue running the wires on the helmet,as matter in fact its really easy,my only problem is the speakers are too big for the helmet,so my head wont fit in it i tried any posistion to put the speakers but it wont fit anywhere,except the front end of the helmet it fit perfectly but you can barely hear any sound if you put it in there,i tried to put the speakers on my other helmet and it fit perfectly right now

    Hey, do anyone know who actually produce this helmet? I have seen it with at least 4 names already. You can find that as "Origine Vega", "Bogotto V135" or even with Jawa (CZ producer of motorcycles) colors or private trademark of one sport goods dealer (W-Tec 135). Still same helmet, different colors, different logo....so, wondering who in real producing it?

I would say my head is more round than oval. Torn between the small and medium. Can anyone with experience on sizing make a recommendation here or offer assistance? Would be so much appreciated!!
