There are only a limited number of motorbike helmet brands that are known for their quality and are a common sight in many races. Bell is one such brand that has a strong following in flagship races especially the F1. The U.S’s top helmet brand manufactures various kinds of helmets but it is its Custom 500 series that enjoys the highest number of sales in the U.S. The best-selling series has received several upgrades over the years and the Cruisier 2020 model is one of its latest variants.
Before this test ride I had never tried a fully open face helmet but with my sunglasses and face covering it felt just the same as wearing my modular helmet. It’s been almost a month since I have been using this helmet and jotted below is my experience of the Custom 500’s Cruisier.
The great thing about the Custom 500 is its availability in up to five different shell sizes. I love the chequered design on this helmet. The fiberglass composite shell keeps the overall weight quite light which is a great feature for any helmet especially an open face helmet that’s going to be used on longer journeys. Furthermore, there’s a wide range of graphic schemes available, but the one I have has a unique checkmate design complemented by golden & red lines. For me, this is the perfect design since it is neither bland nor overdone and looks quite contemporary unlike many open face helmets commonly used by cruiser riders.
Bell’s Cruisier also fares well when it comes to its interior upholstery’s aesthetics and comfort. The perforated quilted micro suede liner offers ample cushioning and at the same time forms a perfect wind barrier. The wind whistle is nicely damped at motorway speeds and the perforations in the liner does a great job at venting all the heat despite the fact there are no vents on the outer shell. Bell has also given due attention to smaller details such as the pull tab and the goggle strap, both of which are wrapped in real leather which, as a whole, enhance the overall quality feel of the helmet.
The Cruisier 2020 version just like any other model of Custom 500 is DOT ECE certified which is one reason why Bell’s open face helmet made a late entry in the EU. Moreover, the helmet is compatible with dozens of shields & visors, though, I for one believe that an open face helmet is best utilized without a shield or a visor, but in the end, it is up to everyone’s personal choice. Last but certainly not the least, is the free inclusion of a retro leather bag that will be perfect for covering your iconic Bell helmet in case the weather take a turn for the worse.
Duchinni’s new D977 full-face helmet is designed for riders on a budget who don’t want to compromise on style or substance.
Its aerodynamic outer shell is made from an ABS/fibre composite, with a sporty rear spoiler, and is ECE 22.05 certified for use on UK roads.
An active airflow system – with vents to the top and chin bar, advanced channelling through the EPS liner, and exhaust vents to the rear – keeps the wearer cool and comfortable.

Inside, the high-quality textile lining is completely removable and washable for season-long freshness, and a chin curtain is provided to help reduce wind noise inside the helmet.
A seatbelt-style quick-release buckle secures and releases the D977 in seconds.

LS2’s full-carbon FF805 Thunder is now available with FIM approval for racing at the highest level. It is currently being worn by riders such as John McPhee in Moto3 and Michael Rinaldi in WorldSBK, as well as Jack Kennedy (pictured) and many others in all classes of the BSB Championship.
Road and track
LS2 now offers riders two versions of the Thunder – one with full FIM certification for international racing, and a regular option, made to a similar specification, for road use. Both are ECE 22.05 approved and carry the ACU gold sticker for UK-based track events.
FIM homologation is obtained when specific high performance and quality standards are met by the manufacturer. The Thunder’s 100% carbon fibre shell offers high penetration resistance and energy dispersion, yet weighs just 1400 grams. The outer shell comes in three sizes, for a safe and snug fit across each fitment range. Should the worst happen, an Emergency Release System allows first responders to remove the cheek pads without disturbing the head and neck.
Optimised vision
The wide 3D optically-correct visor features an ingenious quick release system, designed to help it stay intact during a crash. It’s also ready to accept tear-offs, and comes with a Pinlock Anti-Fog System as standard.
Cool and comfortable
Ventilation ports at the chin, forehead and crown, internal channeling through the EPS liner and large exhaust ports at the rear, offer superior venting – keeping the wearer cool and comfortable when the temperature rises. The internal comfort liner is breathable and hypoallergenic, as well as being removable and washable, for year-round freshness.
Fully equipped
LS2 include plenty of useful accessories with the Thunder, supplying a helmet bag, helmet holdall, Pinlock, pack of tear-offs and helmet-support cushion with each one.
Prices for the LS2 FF805 Thunder start from just £379.99 for the solid carbon option; three eye-catching graphic designs sell for £419.99.
The Thunder FIM is produced in solid carbon for £499.99 and comes with a race pack that includes a dark visor, as well as other exclusive accessories.

I’ve heard people swear by Arai and I always wondered what the appeal is. They look quite big and round in shape, not exactly flattering compared to some other brands. The new Quantic is not the lightest of helmets I have, in fact, at 1.6 kg it is quite a bit heavier than some of the other helmets I have.
It is marketed as a sports-touring helmet. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with an internal visor, which for me, seems a great option to have when you are away from home for days and weeks at a time.
Installing the intercom system wasn’t the easiest compared to others, quite a bit of faffing with the liner and I still have a cable showing on the side. This may well be a user error but I managed to hide everything in my other helmets so it can’t be all me.
Despite this, the moment I put the Arai Quantic on my head I loved it instantly. The way it fits around my head and face makes you feel like you are in a safe haven. The materials are soft and seem kind to skin and the inside of the helmet hugs your head in a way that just makes you feel safe. I was keen to go for a ride and see how my face will look like after a few hours of riding.
The first thing I noticed was the ventilation. There are several vents that actually work! It was a hot day and I could feel the air circulation around my head. There are three vents at the top of the helmet. One at the front behind the 3D Arai logo that you control by opening or closing the catch at the top. Then there are two on each side and slightly further up that you push forwards or backward depending on whether you want them open or close.
A large chin vent that is easy to move with the gloves on lets plenty of air in. Then there are two vents in the visor itself, these worked great when my glasses steamed up!
And lastly, a vent at the back of the helmet under the rear spoiler, to let the air out.
The air direction was definitely felt, especially at the crown of my head which I welcomed very much as it kept me cool for the whole ride.
The helmet isn’t terribly quiet which did surprise me. It is really good on a calm day but I did find it very noisy in the wind.
After wearing it for a couple of hours on a day out riding there were no lines on my face, no telltale signs of a new helmet. It fitted perfectly and whilst it is firm around my face it is also very easy to take off and put back on again.
It is not the perfect helmet in terms of ticking the boxes but despite it all, there is something about it that makes me feel super safe wearing it. It is incredibly comfortable and it has now become my main helmet for long trips and tours. I have a feeling Arai might become my go-to helmet from now on.

The Profile-V has a fresh, aggressive style unique in the range and is designed to welcome riders to the Arai family with the plush comfort, protection and features expected of the brand but also something else – easy access on and off.
Like every Arai, the Profile-V uses a strong outer shell designed to glance off impact forces whilst maintaining integrity, working with a softer one-piece multi-density EPS inner liner to absorb, and spread impact energy.
It’s designed around the Variable Axis System (VAS) for a smoother shape plus reinforcing Hyper Ridge that lowers the centre of gravity and flares out 5mm to make putting it on or off easier. It is equipped with dual intake vents, brow vents and a three-way chin vent plus five exhausts.
The VAS-V MAX vision visor is Pinlock ready and uses an F1- derived latch mechanism; the semi-removable interior features Facial Contour System (FCS) and speaker pockets. The Arai experience starts here.
The result of extensive research & development, the Quantic brings together Arai’s knowledge of F1, MotoGP™, and everyday road riding, creating a stylish, high performance helmet for sports, touring and everything in between.
With the lightest shell of any Arai and super comfortable Facial Contour System cheek pads along with a 3D logo vent, the all-day comfort provided by the Quantic means you will hardly notice you’re wearing it!
The Quantic also features a dual-purpose spoiler, inspired by MotoGP™ technology, which acts as both an exhaust and an aerodynamic performance device which reduces buffeting at higher speeds.
The Quantic is Arai’s first helmet approved to the new European ECE R22.06 Standard, and comes in stunning new Face designs courtesy of Drudi Performance.
Helmets are a basic motorbike safety equipment that protects the most vulnerable & crucial part of our body, which is why every rider tries his best to get his hands on the best helmet available in the market. However, the best helmets are accompanied by a high price tag that contributes to the fact that they are sometimes out of reach for some who reach out to cheaper helmets which can turn out to be knock-offs and just don’t have what it takes to protect in case of an accident. But there do exist some exceptions, which is evident from Nitro’s entire lineup of helmets that are not only aesthetically pleasing but are also made to provide adequate protection in case of an impact. This review entails my experience with Nitro’s N302 entry-level helmet that in all truthfulness has changed my views about entry-level/affordable motorbike gear.
The Nitro N302 on the outside seems just like any other budget helmet on the market, but what makes it somewhat different from others is its build quality which just seems a level above its class. Moreover, the N302 lineup is available in a multitude of variations, whether it be the size or the colors, which provides a good option to every class of rider. The helmet I bought seemed a bit tight for my head from the outside, but thankfully, there was enough room for my head to fit in, therefore, it will be a good idea to place an order only after confirming your head’s circumference.
The Nitro full-face helmet not only performs well on the aesthetics, but it also does well when it comes to safety and other features. The polycarbonate shell gives the helmet the desired robustness and at the same time keeps its weight light enough, which is why I didn’t experience any neck pain after an hour-long ride. The washable padding is also quite welcoming and is attached tight enough to the core to keep the wind whistle away from the rider’s ears. The scratch-resistant visor also does its part in providing a quiet ambiance all the while providing an almost 180° line of sight.
The recent hot spell has made us all realize the importance of a proper ventilation system, luckily the Nitro N302 comes with ample ventilation slots on the front and the rear that does their job very efficiently. Lastly, the most important question a lot of you would be asking would be the safety certification which I was also looking for when placing an order for this helmet. The 2021 model of the N302 comes certified with the ECE 22.05 safety rating that, in the end, finalized my order for Nitro’s full-face helmet.
Nitro N302 has proven to be a great affordable helmet for me, that in addition to being ECE-certified, has some additional extras to offer that are relatively unheard of for a helmet of this class & price. If you are hunting for an affordable motorbike helmet that promises optimum safety then look no further, Nitro N302 has got you covered.
How good is a budget helmet? I sometimes wonder what is it that we pay for when buying an item. Is it the brand, the quality, the materials, or the service? I find this even more important when it comes to safety, especially something like a motorcycle helmet. I must admit, I did have some doubts. (checkout Maja’s review of motorcycle helmet inspection service)
I decided to try the Nitro Helmet on a short ride to start with. It’s what I normally do with any new helmet to get used to it. The first impressions were really good. The helmet looks and feels well finished. I especially love the matt paint finish. There are vents on the chin and at the top of the helmet that you can control with the sliding mechanism.
I especially like the internal tinted visor and the fact that they have moulded the helmet to allow for the specs wearers to use their glasses inside the helmet. The internal visor is operated by the sliding mechanism on the left hand side of the helmet.
The external visor system feels very sturdy and easy to change the position of the visor from closed to open. It is also easy to remove and put back and it comes pinlock ready although no pinlock included, and to be fair, I didn’t expect it at this price.
The helmet is, of course, ACU approved and carries the gold sticker on the back.
Once the helmet was on I did feel the padding wasn’t quite enough. My cheeks are normally pressed against the internal padding but on this one, I still have plenty of room. Whilst the crown of the head is firmly held by the liner and doesn’t move when I hold the helmet still and move my head left to right, it is not the same for my face. The plus side of this is that my ears are not constricted in any way and wearing my moulded earplugs meant I had no pressure on my ears like in some helmets.
It didn’t seem particularly noisy when out riding but it is noisier than my other helmets, not by much, just enough to notice.
Whilst testing the helmet I had the opportunity to send it off for a non-destructive inspection to find out if a £90 is safe to use. It came back with a big tick of approval. Yes, it passed the inspection and I was really pleased to see that we have a solid British helmet manufacturer that caters to entry-level helmets that not only look good but are safe, too.
Helmets are a prerequisite for any rider and their importance cannot be neglected under any circumstances. Most bikers head to the mainstream helmet brands, but there are some reasonably priced & well-built helmets available in the market. Nitro’s F440 series surely is a part of such helmets. We try out the Nitro F440 Modular Helmet whilst out and about on a test ride
The F440 is a flip-up helmet, on of the main concern of anyone including me, when buying or considering a flip-front/modular helmet is its structural integrity or the safety it provides since its chin guard is retractable. However, these concerns quickly vanished in the air in the case of Nitro’s F440 as it is ECE 22.05 certified which provided me with peace of mind that the flip-front mechanism or even the helmet itself won’t crumble in case of a crash. Speaking of the flip-front mechanism, the flipping mechanism is quite smooth and easy to locate when riding a motorbike and the field of view significantly improves upon raising the chin guard which obviously is the main selling point of any flip-front/modular helmet in the first place.
Part of the reason behind the structural integrity of the helmet is the use of polycarbonate in its shell that makes it rigid enough to withstand harsh impacts. Moreover, there are ample air vents available to keep the rider’s head cool, but the flip-front mechanism proved to be a blessing in disguise for me in the recent scorching heatwave. The plush liner not only is quite welcoming but at the same time can be removed in a minute or so if you want to give it a good wash.
The pin-lock prepared visor and the micrometric chin strap provided played an important part in making this helmet ECE 22.05 certified. Overall, the helmet might seem a bit regular to you, but the features and the ECE certification combined with a highly attractive price tag make for a great flip-front helmet that truly deserves attention from anyone looking to buy a good yet affordable helmet.

Arai is proud to present the new Nicky Reset graphic on the Arai RX-7V. This stunning design is the very special graphic worn by Nicky during MotoGP testing, becoming an iconic design after those appearances and requested by fans ever since.
Now, this amazing design will be available to the public.
The RX-7V has long been renowned as one of the most advanced, highest quality helmets available anywhere in the world. It represents the culmination of Arai’s vast experience in helmet design and unwavering focus on rider protection. And with features like the ingenious VAS shield mechanism, dramatically improved airflow and ventilation, and an odour resistant liner, the RX-7V has certainly earned its place as Arai’s flagship model.
A Statement from the Hayden Family:
Sometime after Nicky’s passing, the family collectively agreed that we wanted to keep his memory and legacy alive to honour all that he had achieved and all the lives he had touched in such a short period of time.
One of the most recognized things we thought that can be immediately connected to Nicky was his helmet replicas. Over the years Nicky had dozens of designs that fans around the world chose to wear while riding as a sign of loyalty and respect for him.
It is for those fans that we chose to work with Arai to continue producing Nicky’s replicas.If it weren’t for the fans and their continued loyalty and desire for new Nicky’s designs, we wouldn’t continue. But the fans continue to ask for Nicky replicas, so we feel compelled to make them available.
Since his passing, we have produced replicas Nicky wore in the heat of competition, and even brought back one of his all-time fan favourites – the Nicky Laguna. Now we find ourselves with a demand for a fan favourite that Nicky did wear, but was never offered as a replica.
The Reset was a special one-off design that Nicky wore during off-season MotoGP testing, symbolizing his return to a familiar ride and visualized his need to reset himself for that challenge.
At that time there was talk about making the Reset a replica, but for one reason or another, it just never happened.
Now, as demand for a new design started to build, we worked with Arai to review fan feedback and found quite a bit for the Reset design. Then considering the current world situation, we thought the idea of the Reset was perfect timing.
Therefore, the Hayden Family and Arai will again honour Nicky’s memory and keep his legacy alive with this latest Nicky Reset replica.
We wish to thank all the fans who asked for this design and wear it proudly, keeping Nicky’s memory alive.
