i put a small piece of foam in back and the noise went away, shove in the helmet you cant see it and the vent still functions
Block, while the bike was moving, the mic was mildly distorted. When you were in the drive-thru, the mic was clear.
The helmet looks good but, if anyone plans on recording, this probably isn't the best helmet option.
its the vent in the back...pulling the air in the front...try to put a little foam around the rear vent (Bernoulli effect) to slow down the suction...from the inside of the helmet.. You can use some of the foam that came with the helmet..the foam bag the helmet was in.
Yo Mr Blockhead, can you do a test with the rear vent blocked and post the findings? 👊
They should build drive-thru's with a slight down hill slope, just for motorcycles.
Use some of that black reflective tap to cover it up so you’re more visible at night 🤷🏿♀️
Had one for a couple years now, love it. The field of vision and lack of any real face contact are worth any amount of noise for me. Recently tried on some traditional full face offerings and was made aware of just how comfortable the Bullitt is in comparison. Can’t go back.
Chad Gilstrap is the noise really that noticeable?
Yeah Chad is the noise level on this helmet really that bad?
got a bullitt a few weeks ago, dont mind it being a bit noisey on my road glide with listening to the stereo thru the fairing speakers. just get a sena 20 with the slim speakers for a good fit in the dips as you call em , lol The best helmet ever in my opinion for field of view, comfort, and a non closed in feeling.
If people don't want wind noise should ride in a car. It's a motorcycle for crying out load.
What is your overall take on it? I’ve got a 19 road glide special, and always worn a brain bucket
I have an 18 Road Glide also with a Klock Works 14" Tinted flare windshield... this windshield looks really great on the bike and it offers very good wind protection... when riding without a helmet I don't get much wind noise over my ears until I hit about 70mph.
I've been looking at this helmet, I really like the looks of it and I like the big open face on it but people say that it's very noisy... I'm guessing they mean on a motorcycles without no fairing. What I'm wondering is if you already have good wind protection with a fairing is this helmet still noisy? I'm guessing no.
4:04 - Face Reveal A-huh... suckers! Hahahahaha that cracked me up! Thanks for making my night Block!
It's a cool lookin helmet. The style and the view angle is probably the strongest points. The noise level, visor opening options and the fact that you can't close the vents(rain) makes it a turn off imo. I have been in the market for a full face helmet so thank you for your review(s). Keep it up Block.
Drive-thru Fred Flintstone style.
I did 3500km 2 weeks ago in Bell Bullitt and was awesome. I wear a face sock inside the helmet to stop the inside catching my as you suggested. The mirror and tinted visor are awesome the clear is only good for night time.
oh man those clouds @11:25 look like they were photoshopped! forget about seasons, i miss clouds....BRAAAP!~
When I go through the drive through on my sportbike I stick the bag between my belly and the tank. I always like the look you get when you go through on a bike. It’s like they are wearing the question on their face.
I’m waiting on Chick-fil-A to start sponsoring you. Love the channel, keep em coming brother.
when the helmet is off remove the inserts and the foam ( if applicable ) put microfiber cloth ( breathable ) over the area
( about 4 inch x 4 inch will do ) use heat glue to hold in place. put everything back together , and ride again.
kool looking helmet ! awsome video !!
Scorp great idea thanks for the heads up.
Looks good but I'm not giving up my RF-SR you talked me into. No regrets with that one so your 1/1.
the mic does not capture that much wind noise on cruising speeds. that´s great. I got one last week and I´m getting a chin curtain immediately. That will shut the wind noise off for sure.
Looks good but man that whistling would get annoying after a few hours I’ll probably just stick with my Simpson helmet
Bell Bullitt RSD Bagger...This is the worst Helmet I've ever owned! Extremely noisy and rattles when traveling at high speeds! I've tried putting in larger pads to make it tighter but its no help. The helmet looks great, very comfortable, great visibility. Performance...... Disappointing! For the price I should of bought another Aria! Blockhead, you mentioned this would be a good around town helmet but not for the highway. I couldn't agree with you more! I'm trying to sell mine if anyone is interested. Only used it a handful of times. couldn't take the noise!
Yo Blockhead... my Bullitt (Large) is a tad tight & I heard u say Bell sent u pads for the next size up. Did it make a big enough difference that I should try & order the XL pads? And do u think the XL pads would work on a Large since it’s a different shell size? Appreciate any feedback u might have. Enjoy the videos dude🤘
Block, tell Bell we need a independent safety Lab test! NOT a fashion test and sales pitch test. Truly a disservice to us riders. I would have refused if I where you my friend! Let’s face it, the true essence and purpose of a helmet is saving our lives.. and respectfully block, your no independent safety lab technician! Stay vigilant my friend and ride safe.
I wear it for one year. And I can give a big tips in reference of the loud of the wind. All depend of the angle of the helmet. You put you head in 90 grade no loud and wind to enter. And down you head to 80 or less grade. Enter a lot of wind and more loud.
Never would thought blockhead had a beard! He sounds like one of those military dudes who are clean shaved.
You're not the first person to say "sounds like one of those military dudes." What gives people this idea? lol
@@BlockheadMoto ohh I don't know maybe it's that you have guns, you have a a bike and you a military voice.
BLOCKHEAD “eye-pro”
Anyone know if there is a chin curtain or neck gaiter available for this helmet? I have one and the wind noise is terrible. After 2 hours on the highway, my ear drums are messed up.
Man it looks nice! They seem to hard to find here in New Zealand 😭
Jason B which area are you based ? I tried an L which is my usual size in most helmets but i was an XL in this helmet. Its more suited to a round head shape tho I believe
@@Southpawgolfnz I'm in Christchurch
Jason B do you have a Red Baron down there? Thats where i found one to try on, failing that a Bell stockist should be able to get one in for you to try.
If air is coming in, it needs a way to go out. That's why when the exhaust vent is blocked it's quieter, there's no air flow! All you'd be doing is ramming air in and slightly pressurizing your helmet at speed.
I made a review of the helmet..and anything above 50mph..it is too hard to hear anything from a SENA or motovlog
I went to get one of these but stopped after seeing the sharp test which wasn't good, one side is weaker than the other and there is a guy on TH-cam was wearing one in a slow crash who had brain bleed. Chin guard is weak on these too, but a sexy helmet lol.
I know this was a while ago but would you recommend this helmet for a passenger?
Great video. I love my Bullitt Triple Threat. Yeah, there's a lot of wind noise but the angle of view is amazing. I recently launched a motovlog channel myself and I have to admit that I'm struggling a bit getting the audio dialed in and all the noice canceled. I just switched from a mount very similar to yours and a GoPro 4 Silver to a DIY setup with a Session 5 and a TASCAM DR-05. But I'm still short of the really high quality in your videos.
Your channel is one of the one's that inspired me to get my own channel going. Thanks for all of your great content!
I know when I did my recording setup that I had to move the mic all over the place to keep it clean and not clip....you were able to do it just fine right out of the gate...I didnt think the noise was coming through at all...we were REALLY able to hear your bike and you talk with no issues whatsoever. This helmet isnt designed to be like a full blown Shoei or Arai, its a vintage helmet....you want that look then you are going to have some sacrifices, thats just the nature of the beast. I figure that if you arent recording that you are listening to music so the wind noise is going to be negligible anyhow. The bigger thing is that its comfortable and will protect your noggin in a crash. If you want it to vent great, then you are gonna have wind noise...there are no ways around that. Even my Arai Corsair X has wind noise if I open all the vents up........oh yeah....looks like you have a righteous beard!! :-P Also, if you wanna close up that rear vent, just pull the padding again and toss some electrical tape over it....but then you wont get that flow through venting....
Are you able to see the whole GoPro in that thing? Seems like that would get annoying.
I need a new helmet but I'm decided if I wanna go with S&S again of pick up a Bell or SHOI ... so many options. Nice video Block
Good and honest review.. I have this helmet and wear it without a visor but I do have a windshield.. I ride a 2012 Nightster XL1200N and I enjoy it. Love the FOV and its better then wearing a half helmet lol
Do you think it's a good helmet if you stay under 50mph?
Earplugs maybe?
I don't know,the helmet looks nice,the view must be great but the sound yeah
Also kinda doesn't have dat BLOCKHEAD look we got used to
But I also kinda liked hearing ur bike
Haha loved the drive-thru part
I would be concerned the wind noise would over power the voices in my head. Wait ….. What ??
Food review!
Unfortunately for every other fast food place, everyone knows it's good!
Defo gonna try and block the vents on mine now. I’d never heard about it before so thanks sir 😂. Great vid as always bro.
The face reval troll darn you block! Also what no random bend in your beard from the chin guard
Yo! Blockhead I agree with your review. I got a black bullitt helmet. Love the style and look. Feels a little tight but really load
A great review I have the same issue trying to fit the speakers for my Sena It really messes up your ears did you figure out a workaround? Thanks again
Can you do a institutional video on how you installed the action camera on the bullitt?
The audio is definitely muffled, not as quality of the other helmet.
Hey man for the first time I’m listening to your bike.........
Block, do you have an idle Control installed on the Dyna?
"terrible weather" Mate we call that summer! Lol~
helmet looks great, audio quality wasn't as good as always but it was still very good
Sponsored by Bell...hmmm
I couldn't hear the whistling
i think the bike sounds better with that helmet
how is that visor for night riding?
What bike do you ride ??
Drove by my neighborhood at 1:50! Love the helmet.
It’s a meh, as I catch from you
1 minute in; clear vocals, good sound from bike. No change needed.
You do however have a dark spot on right side of rider (1st person) view.. not sure if dirt or defect. It's an extreme critique, and no deal breaker, but a point to mention. Counter that with a love of the reflection from that mile'o'glass of a shield.
Keep it up BlockPrime.
Good honest review I own one
Thank you!
Smell rated?
www.smf.org/docs/articles/dot
If you sweat enough.
For Florida the smell rating really is important.
It’s. Snell lol
@@nolanmacdougall1154 snails smell too in Florida? Man the humanity of it all!!
Some designer kid draw this helmet as a thesis and Bell bought the rights to manufacture it. It's a fashion piece, not a safe option. The thin chin guard breaks easily and you'll have your teeth replaced with plastic pieces. I's quite sad because it is good looking.
and how many chin bars have you broke?
Oh really. Did you test it
They have facilities for that. Jeez. Don't be offensive just because you have buyer's remorse.
@@rebel_ltz I don't have one. Where's the data. Is it just TH-cam comments you've been reading that claim such things? Bunch of aria fanboys who hate anything retro looking
You're telling that to the wrong guy. I love retro. My helmet is a Biltwell. Just know what you wear!
I'm so jealous of you for having Chick Fil-A there.
You must have a really big head dude
#BigHeadBigBrain
BLOCKHEAD fair point, well presented
Do a rain test with this helmet
Rain comes in everywhere, through the vents, around the shield, and up under the chin area. I still love mine because it's comfy and light. I'm too claustrophobic for the Schuberth and Arai helmets.
Vents don’t close. So water will get in thru vents and the space between the visor and helmet
The Biltwell Lane Splitter is the best helmet I've ever owned. I had a Simpson SB and a Bell Bullitt before it, and it's better than both. It's more comfortable, quieter, breathes better, easier to strap, and the visor locking mechanism has adjustable 'clicks', which is SWEET. It's also cheaper and the visor color/grade selection is cheaper too. With the Simpson all I hear is wind turbulence, but with the Biltwell all I hear is exhaust, so they did something right with the insulation. The Bell I had fogged up so bad I had to get rid of it, and it's also no good for guys with substantial beards, as your beard will stick out of the bottom. The Biltwell isn't snell approved, but it'll save your life just the same.
Hi
hello
first
Logan Smith that’s a good question lol
Logan Smith we might of did it at the same exact time 😂😂😂
👍
First
wait who's first me or you
Thank you Blockhead for your videos. They really helped me with your tutorials etc. I try to be the first one to comment when I can hope your doing well man. I take my class soon and get my endorsement 💪🏼. Hopefully I can ride with you one day!
but how
👍
its ya boy pelon man
Hey block, I have a 48 sportster with the same handle bars Ms. Blockhead has. When I ride on the freeway and hit 70mph I feel like It’s going to start to wobble. Any thoughts? You think a fairing would help?
spokes (You might have some loose one) & tire (pressures and tread), if not check your neck bearings for looseness, i hope this helps
Could be the neck adjustment ( to lose)
Bigger fairings will grab more wind and you’ll feel it more in bars( not good )
