This video is as close to 100% as one can be. Would i buy it again, no. Is it the perfect swiss army knife for me to rely on, yes. Im glad i have it.
There ya go. If the venting was better and no internal visor I would for sure be keeping it long term
@@RidinDad no internal visor is easy enough. Just don't deploy it. But I'd take the rare opportunity to use a Dremel and make it work for you. I wish mine came down far enough for me to do a little shaping. But... (Shark Evo)
Really good honest review.... I appreciate it as I thought more of Simpson helmets.
Now you got me second guessing myself..... Cheers
Keep Living the F#@KING Dream ❗
Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾
💪🇦🇺💪
Thanks man! 👊🏻
The interior visor hit my nose a bit also. Barely but enough to bother me. I removed it and ground the nose cut out with a Dremel tool with a sanding disc. Problem fixed. Really like the helmet.
Thanks man!!
Love this review mostly because I’m Arai Corsair X helmet owner and was looking to try something different with Simpson as it has a huge following in the Harley-Davidson community.
But I think im pretty spoiled with the Arai helmet but it is a $1k helmet lol. I would love to see your review on the Arai Corsair helmet on the Harley.
I did that already! A while ago. It’s in my reviews playlist! I’m filming another helmet review today which is awesome also
Very informative!
Have the ghost and it’s basically the same as you’ve described this one…
Could you do a tier list at the end of this series? Or is it just: “sorry guys, but most expensive is actually the best” 😅
Lol unfortunately that’s the way it’s looking right now! I have an agv I’m trying too and unfortunately it’s too close to my chime and nose but otherwise it’s awesome! I can’t decide between going with the scorpion or trying out a bell next go around
THANK YOU for mentioning glasses
Always! All of my reviews on helmets have that topic covered!! Even though sweet baby Jesus blessed me with perfect vision and a personality to match, I know some people need wearable science to see !
Glad I found your page. Was about to get this. I’m in search of the absolute best venting helmet. Just bought a Shoei neotec2 and feel Nothing..
You’re the same Giovanni I spoke to on IG right?
I concur. I felt nothing with the neotec 2 either when I had it years ago man
Testing a Simpson after an Arai… damn that’s tough. Arai is by far the best mass production helmet brand you can expect. In France we love Arai and in particuliary the SZ-R VAS (RAM-X in US) helmet. I plan to buy one for my Harley btw. If you need a cool and top quality full face helmet, go with Hedon Heroine if it’s legally possible.
Good to know, thank you!
Just subbed. I'm in central FL myself. Also, I peeped that KIA bracelet, I'm an OEF vet. You're prior service I'm assuming, so thanks for your service brother
No prior military service from me. But thank you man. And thank you for your service too. Appreciate the sub!!! Ride safe 🤙🏼
@@RidinDad well disregard lol but thanks, and you too bro.
👊🏻
The AGV sportmodular is the LIGHTEST of the light Modular’s. It’s so light it’s insane almost as light as the k6.. I’ve been sticking to AGV line cuz it’s super comfortable and soft and fit my head correctly.. if anyone wants the lightest modular check AGV out. I really wanna try a Simpson. I used to hate the look but it’s grown on me forsure
Yes, I bought myself the K-6 to try out and it was crazy how light weight it was. The only negative of it was that even though it fits my head and my cheeks perfectly fine, the chin bar touches my chin and nose and it’s too close for me to comfortably use it in safely. Use it so unfortunately the K-6 and I’m sure most of their lineup is out for me.
Looks good . Noisy and feels cheap. Yes i own one.
Yeah unfortunately summarizes it
Very informative. Thank you!
🤙🏼👊🏻
Not a huge fan of Simpson but good review man!
Thanks. They’re killing my ruroc at this time 😂😂😂
I was not a modular helmet guy until I acquired a lightly used Shark. Now, I reach for it more than any other helmet I have. I don't think there is one perfect helmet for everyday (in Ohio), but if I had to choose one helmet and one helmet only, so far it's my Shark. After probably 6 years, I'm ready to buy another road helmet and I'm definitely looking for a modular that beats the shark. Problem is that none of the other modulars allow use of BOTH visors while the chin bar is up. Plus, Shark paid close attention to aerodynamics when the chin bar is up. These 2 features are totally missed with all other modulars. So I sacrifice a bit of weight and full-faced aesthetic. Yes, angles look sharp. But eggs are round for a reason.
I’ve not had a shark yet. There’s something about them I don’t like. But as long as you like it that’s what counts!
Came here from the Ruroc review, very surprised by this one. I went through the same thing as you; had to exchange my first Mod Bandit due to sizing. Both of the helmets I got had atrocious build quality. Plastic surrounds on the vents loose, entire chin bar had flex like it was made out of cheap plastic, chin bar difficult to close, definitely not worth $500. I ended up with the Neotec 2 and it feels like a Cadillac.
Wow that’s crazy man I’m sorry you had that experience. I had a neotec 2 years ago. Quality for sure. Just don’t vent for crap lol
Thank you…. For your realness.
My pleasure man
I also live in SW Florida and I currently ride a 2022 Road Glide ST. I use a Shoei GT Air and am looking for a new helmet that flows alot of air. Thinking about an HJC RPHA 11 pro, was looking at the Simpson Mod Bandit until you said the ventilation sucked. Do you have any recommendations for down here? I am torn between another full face, or maybe going to a modular. Keep up the good work, love the videos!
Arai Corsair x flows the most air I’ve ever tried and is the comfiest. Hands down the best helmet I’ve ever used. However…..for about 3/400 bucks less the scorpion exo r1 air in normal or carbon fiber is an amazing helmet. It flows good air. Comes with two visors and a pin lock insert and is super lightweight. Great quality and comfy
And thanks man!!
I’m looking for a carbon fiber mod helmet and I was going to buy this one but not after your review. I’m in FL too. Recommendations?
Not one that I’ve tried personally. People love the neotec 2 from shoei but I felt it didn’t ventilate good at all. So I wouldn’t recommend it for fl. I got rid of mine in 2 months. Honestly this one might be one of the best bets for modular use in Florida due to good venting
Thanks for the quick reply. You mentioned the venting was non existent on the top in the Simpson helmet or did I miss understand?
@txgal99 yeah but it vents great everywhere else and with a modular if you tilted up when it’s really hot, obviously that will vent more than any other option of any other helmet. I hear that HJC has a Modular RPHA helmet that has been getting good reviews but I can’t tell you anything for certain because I’ve never used it.
nxx helmets
Great review! I'm planning on buying this helmet but can't decide on size. According to their chart I'm a large(23") but I keep seeing that it runs large and to go a size down. What was your head measurement to fit the medium? Thanks!
22.3 ish
And thanks!
😎
🤙🏼
Which helmet is better for long, fast speed rides? The Simpson mod bandit or the Ruroc atlas 4.0? Im trying to get a new helmet and can’t decide
Neither in my opinion. The Simpson is really loud and not incredibly aerodynamic. The ruroc is more quiet but sucks for aerodynamics and is super big and feels heavier. I would say scorpion exo r1 s, and arai Corsair x are too much better options with the scorpion being under $500 and the arrive being under a thousand. I’m sure there are others that are better also but those are the two that I would say are much better just based on my use ability. I also say the a GVK6 is an amazing helmet and is incredibly lightweight and comfortable as well as aerodynamic. For me, it was too shallow and touched my chin mouth and nose the entire time so I could only use it for a few days.
@@RidinDad sweet! I will keep doing a little more research. Thanks for your opinion. Keeps me from spending a dumb amount of money on a helmet I might not be happy with
No problem man. Happy to help!
Both are junk!
Il never add weight to my helmet just so you can see my face.
Simpsons m30 is the lightest most compact and bad ass.
Not much venting there. It’s not a fashion statement. It’s for comfort
Scorpion r1 air carbon
Yeah my wife has the r1 in white. I am impressed with it a lot. I’m debating on trying out the shoei rf1400 or just doing the scorpion for myself now
Hey brother sorry to bother but wanted to ask your opinion on what size to get. My head measures 58.2 cm around and not sure if I should get the medium or the small due to hearing that the mod bandit runs big. You think I should get a medium or size down?
I say true to size unless you’re between sizes. If between size down
@@RidinDad thanks man
@@Carlitos21600 no problem and it’s no bother man!!
Bro I'd advise you go an try it on I did yesterday an I normally wear a XXL but I'm wearing a L & a medium is real snug so TRY IT ON FIRST
how to hjc rpha90?
I’m assuming you’re asking how it would compare? I’ve never physically tried the rpha line from hjc. I had a budget hjc years ago that I was happy with for the price. I don’t know how it would compare to this helmet.
Shoei RF 1200 a.ll day long
Rf1400 is the new version now man!
Ooof. Maybe I shouldn't buy one.
They’re not awful. Not too bad. Just not as great as everyone makes them seem
Dude ur vid is 21 minutes😅
Ok? That’s a weird way to say thank you for such good content …
Bout time you review a real helmet
What helmet have I reviewed in the past that was not a “real helmet”
@@RidinDad that ruroc crap
Gotchya man 👌🏻
@@Bluis5445 Hey now in Ruroc's defense he didn't say he was going to make a youtube video about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol this is true. Perhaps if I told them my plans I would have a received a higher quality product and customer service that actually seemed like they have a crap
Arai is the way :p
Love me some arai!
