Bell Bullitt Review

[@ontwowheels9457]

bro.. u dont even know how much i appreciate this review... i am cluster phobic and i have been investing tons of money trying modular helmets and nothing worked for me and i know how important the face protection is... thank you thank you dude... ur awesome

[@indyrunnerii]

Because of your video, I bought a Bell Bullitt. Until now, I have always worn a helmet, but a "shorty". I have ridden with the Bullitt only once for 300+ miles and I LOVE it! Thanks soooooo much for your review and thanks to Bell for a great product. Hope to see you on 10/5!!

[@adamsandoval]

Glad to hear you like it, and that you're coming down for our Bring It Home event!

[@lokom18]

I have Gringo S, Custom 500 and Bullitt and I have to say that Bullitt is my favourite one.

[@ncringdogs]

Adam, with my bullitt I have put a piece of heavier rubber along the top of the shield, it fills in the gap that causes the rattle. Works for me but some have said it'll scratch the helmet however it doesn't bother me. I ride vs keep my bike clean for the garage! Stay safe.

[@TheMilitaryBiker]

Your videos made me buy this helmet man, and I still love it 2 years down the line. Great choice mate. ✌️🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@adamsandoval]

Great to hear! 👊

[@bigdog5268]

I just bought one and went on my first ride I have to say it is a very loud helmet. I've also had all kinds of full face helmet and every full face helmet I have had I have always had to have earplugs. I love the look of the helmet and it is a lot lighter than my other full face helmet. I am 70/30 on keeping it!!!!

[@TaterGrabbinBass]

I love my Bell Bullitt, I have the Ryder version and it just looks bad ass! It is super loud and at 60mph+ it’ll whistle and on head checks it’ll rattle. The whistle can be fixed with a little piece of electrical tape overlong the rear exhaust vent, also if you do end up getting rained on you can cover the front vents with some tape and if you buy a little rubber you can creat a seal for the top of the visor because there is a little gap there as well. But the helmet is amazing, you can see everything, the interior is plush and it fits well. I like wearing it for short rides around town and when I take long rides or doing a lot of freeway miles I usually wear my Shoei RF-1200.

[@infini1970]

I've been wearing a DOT low profile Skull cap for years. I love the freedom of it. However living in LA and having a new bike (LRS), the land of shit drivers, I felt maybe it was time to get a full face helmet. I feel that after putting this one on I kinda needed one that had a really free viewing area and still have the safety. 7yrs later I'm watching this again, got the same exact black on black. Waiting for delivery. Thank you man!

[@adamsandoval]

Glad I could help!

[@markmcintosh7095]

I think the Aria is the best helmet for me. They cost more but you can find them on sale.

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

Thank you, brother. This means a lot to me -your opinion. I just bought the RSD Mojo version of this helmet. 4 decades of no helmet / 1/2 helmet....have seen too much carnage. Last week my brother in law goes down....he's had brain surgery and is still unconscious. He's got tubes in his throat, head, and stomach. Like me and most of our bros....he had full/proper boots, jeans, jacket, and he wears goggles...but no helmet was found at the scene...he owned a 1/2...not sure if he had it on or not. Sadder thing...not ONE scratch on him...anywhere....except for the brain injury. The gear worked that he had. Guy stopped in front of him turning right. It happens to all of us that ride, I know....I've been down 2x....once at highways speeds....looking back...it seems funny that I had a helmet on both times but still 'didn't get it' until now. God knows how he'll recover. Time for a change for me; get out of my own stupid pride. I love riding free and feeling the breeze on my head...but it's time. I spent 4 days in the ICU waiting room researching, choosing, watching vids....you have ridden more miles than (anyone?) I'll ever ride if I get to ride another 50 years....this makes sense. The #1 thing is to be able to SEE. The widest vision field available anywhere in a full face....your endorsement...I did it. I spent YEARS of built up Amex points to buy it...but I'd rather have the protection than the points for some plane ticket or something. On the plus side...the pearl white of the RSD Mojo Bell Bullitt is a great match for the pearl white of my 2000 Softail. The 16" apes go well with the retro vibe of the helmet too. Be well, Adam. As a vet I thank you for what you have done/do for vets too.

[@adamsandoval]

I am so sorry to hear this

[@An_Enraged_Pig]

Check out ruroc sports helmets, coming out in Dec.

[@jonathanprice2419]

Great review, thanks. It’s the compromise I was looking for and have bought a silver one 👍🏼 Gonna look great with my Speed Twin 👏🏼

[@iluvbiggirlz420]

See I never wore a helmet in my life and I think you just answered my question how about that claustrophobic feel thank you

[@robkrueger179]

Adam... do you have any issues with the shield on the bell bullet rattling real bad going about 60mph and higher? Mine is brand new and rattled so bad I have had a headache for a week!

[@adamsandoval]

Before my Sena Momentum Pro I loved the bell bullit

[@kimikoifish7]

Thanks bro I have a modular which I like but I was thinking of getting a 3/4 helmet for a bigger field of view. Now I think I'll get this because it doesn't compromise safety 👍🏻

[@Randystites66207]

Adam do you have an opinion on modular helmets. Where the face lifts up?

[@reece_bhc1056]

Just picked up my first bullitt will have it Thursday thanks for the review on it sir and if your ever in central Florida you should ride with THEBLOCKHEAD crew

[@adamsandoval]

I would enjoy that, might be that way this winter

[@lucmercierqc]

All he say is corect! This helmet is a great change for those who weir open face helmets. I had about five fist quality full face helmets. This one is a revolution. Confort, weigt, i dont even feel it. singht angle is great. Open shield riding, head turn stability, We feel like riding a full face. We have what we pay for. Ok its not a 9 on 10 crash champoin but its way far more safe than an open one. This Bullitt is the best full face i never own. 8 on 10 for me.

[@achim9145]

Great review thx Adam!!

[@patmanwainwright3423]

Hey Adam i like Bell helmets too but i like the Qualifier DLX lots of vents all close-able and a transition lens for sunny day and night riding anyway each to his or her own but you should check it out just incase you like it

[@ajw0529]

2 questions- 1. What lens are you using? 2. Would you go a size larger to be able to wear glasses or earbuds?

[@adamsandoval]

its just the flat lens, and they have space for earbuds in helmet.

[@ajw0529]

Adam Sandoval Rides What color Adam?

[@Hebron666]

I tried this helmet on and loved the way it fit but i wish i could test ride with one. I ride a road king and have problems with the wind pulling my head back while wearing a helmet. Wish the forehead vents closed also.

[@mhitson7483]

Sold. Made me reconsider my initial choice

[@johnhenry6797]

That's a really cool helmet and I want one but seems for the price I wouldn't think you should have to put lock tite on it or have vents that can't close

[@briangamache7084]

Hello Adam . You should partner up with a helmet company and get them to build a camera and mic in the helmet. Just a thought after watching you. Stay save. Love you videos

[@jamesp976]

Hey how is the sound from radio can ya hear it well?

[@danilocapellan1316]

Super cool helmet.👍🏽

[@nomadpi1]

Rain? I cut the tape off Band-Aids. I use the tape strips to cover the vents during rain.

[@scottrubie6826]

Getting a bit of visor vibration.........ok need to do a hinge check cool. Thanks man. Stay safe stay upright.

[@SpudEater]

scott rubie Rubber is the answer, it'll buffer some of the sound

[@scottrubie6826]

Yeah tried the hinge adjustment and it didn't work did 230kms glad I had some music otherwise would have been a sure headache. Can't wait for a bit more wear in cause it really gives me ear issues every second time.

[@awe5543]

I really like the idea this helmet so I tried it on at a a local store. Do you find the chin bar really close to the chin or is it just the nature of this helmet?

[@navcop33]

Great review, thank you for pointing me in the right direction to find it!

[@paddywestside3396]

The down thing with this one is...its a kinda retro style helmet with pretty little functionality, but for a price i can get a top notch racing helmet. so if you also own a sportbike or something, the retro cruiser helmets seem just rediculously overpriced.

[@andressaa6343]

Hey Adam, how did you cover/take off the bell logo in the center? Beautiful helmet but that logo ruins it for me.

[@wilsep]

Love that helmet! Is definitely my next purchase to wear whilst riding my 883 😎😎😎

[@iz5442]

hello, does it have a low profile setting?

[@rudestseal]

Have you had any issue with a constant whistle when the face shield is up? If so, were you able to clear it up? I replaced the flat face shield with the bubble to fix it on my Bullitt, but I think I prefer the flat.

[@adamsandoval]

I did, it was an adjustment issue with the hinge.

[@WontonDestruction]

Adam Sandoval Rides what did you do to the hinge to stop the whistle noise? Just got one and the noise is deafening at highway speeds

[@charlieryan1736]

Thanks for making this great review

[@scooterp7060]

Thanks short and sweet...you da man ...ride safe...

[@denroz8272]

where did you buy matte black ? at bell website is only gloss and mix gloss with matt

[@Andricity]

How do you use it at night or at night in the rain? Just curious how you handle it. I thought about ordering the clear shield but I really don’t want it

[@nasserharley894]

Perfect helmet

[@OffroadGeekDxb]

No mention of the fit!? Does it fit round or oval heads? 😞

[@OnPointFirearms]

Go try one on. Simple, right?

[@OffroadGeekDxb]

OnPointFirearms if I could, I wouldn't be on here! Right?

[@OnPointFirearms]

Plenty of other reviews on KZbin for you, melon head. Or you could just buy it. How fucked up is your head shape?

[@OffroadGeekDxb]

OnPointFirearms alright Mr Obvious. If you don't have anything significant to add why don't you just move along? Do you have to stick your nose into everything?

[@OnPointFirearms]

Are you surprised that your stupid question received a stupid answer? Did you crop the shape of your head from your avatar image on purpose? Is it really that bad? Pear shaped? Football? Stewie? Bell doesn't make a helmet for Stewie heads.

[@ernestarocha3530]

I watched both reviews wish I spent the extra dough for the Bell.

[@DukaDuke]

You might watch this then. I was about to buy this helmet today but not any more. It's a big 'no no' sharp.dft.gov.uk/helmets/bell-bullitt/ And this guy is talking about his friend who's brain was rattled nicely while wearing this 'good looking helmet'. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGWTeJ2trtp4jqs

[@airoilcool]

3 out 5 stars isn't bad. Hell, most helmets are as good. 4-5 stars are very few.

[@DukaDuke]

ILIV it isn't great either. It's like choosing between scratched skin and loss of an eye. To me at least. Just my 5 cents

[@airoilcool]

DukaDuke what helmet do you have?

[@DukaDuke]

ILIV one of them is shoei quest sharp.dft.gov.uk/helmets/shoei-qwest/

[@HarleyDayRider]

Thanks for sharing this video with me. I will have a look. I really like the small piece in the front. Ride Safe

[@christhompson7247]

Thanks for the review! What kind of sunglasses are you wearing in this video?

[@troywestendorf4574]

Hey Adam. Just bought two of these for me and my wife. Question on leaving helmets behind on the bike while parking. I think you just leave yours but do you know of any decent helmet locks that aren’t bulky and like a pedal bike looking unit?

[@adamsandoval]

Sorry I don't use one

[@mattrebacz]

Do you get a whistling or wind noise with the visor up?

[@adamsandoval]

no I sure don't, check your windshield

[@iwilrage]

Recommendation for same type of helmet but with closable vent?

[@casicua]

Torc T1. It's nearly half the price and having worn both, I just don't see the reason to spend almost twice as much for the Bell.

[@jonasfeeley6315]

I have a 2014 Electra Glide limited has the navigation, blue tooth etc, what headset would you use to connect your helmet to the on bike entertainment setup?

[@connoro3017]

Do you live in a van down by the river?

its a bus and I cross many rivers! mountains, deserts, forests, and canyons too ;)

[@aducknamedstevepowers]

Great video. What did you use to cover the logo that usually sits on the front of the helmet?

[@250frederic]

It is removable.

[@aducknamedstevepowers]

Thanks. Your video was the reason I bought the helmet. I posted the question before receiving and realizing it's just a sticker. Not sure why more people don't remove it.

[@Thebeerhistorian]

I'm so jealous of your bus. I'd absolutely love to buy an old bus and go on adventures.

[@cjsmith]

Nice helmet!! Thanks for the review! 👍🇺🇸

[@henrycruz45cal]

So wait, it's loud, it lets rain in and I can't close it up when it's cold yet you recommend it???

[@paivasteveable]

What about getting them to make a Transitional lens for this I would love it well I love mine and would really appreciate a Transitional lens @Bellbullit lol Thanks for all you do Adam ..

[@johndoe-en9ko]

How the color of the visor work for you at night??

[@rbarrows5814]

Do you or anybody have input on the HD Pilot helmets?

[@andrewmarty1339]

Hey Adam I knows this is an old video have you ever checked out the torc T1 how does it stack up against the Bullitt?

[@adamsandoval]

Right now I'm just really loving my Sena momentum pro

@@adamsandoval I dont blame you that's a sweet helmet

[@stevenking2469]

I that one available at the Harley dealer?

[@adamsandoval]

you can always check them out at bellhelmets.com

[@jakeb.1318]

Do you think the bubble would have the shaking issue worse then the flat sheild?

[@adamsandoval]

it may be a bit better with the bubble, But I can not speak to it.

[@nowrubi]

is this all black a available color or is it customized ?

[@adamsandoval]

I'm not sure what they have available not, you'd be better off to check their site 👊

[@Gabusai]

which is quieter the gringo or this one?

[@adamsandoval]

neither are real quiet..lol

[@aesonvirus]

I find the Gringo slightly quieter. Try both on before deciding though. They fit me completely different so your head shape will determine which is better for you.

[@PaulieTheDude]

Honestly if you do care about your ears(which is mighty cool) then you should wear earplugs anyway while riding any motorcycle with any helmet on.

[@tikotiko5328]

You should be asking which one is safer.

[@JLozdrummin]

Eating and drinking while riding will definitely cause an accident. LOL. Love the helmet great review! When did this helmet come out? I just saw a new one on sale for $380. Seems high for the year it is.

[@robziw]

what color is the one you have?

[@terryabshire5738]

hey adam i went and got me a bullitt and absolutly love it, theres nothing like it, never going back to half helmet, but i do have one bitch thats killng me and when i go to put it on ,it bends the top of my ears down and its so tight its hard to get my ears back flat and taking my helmet off its like ripping my ears off, thats all i got.

[@inbarreto86]

"a little loud" . the loudest helmet out there, i am going to get ride of mine ASAP!

[@petelanzone484]

Adam - what size you wearing with this helmet?

[@adamsandoval]

I have a large

[@josebellorin3419]

Can you install a GoPro mount on that thin chin?

[@adamsandoval]

yeah, or an articulating mount on the side

[@Barmatthew]

Thanks for the review but that part about modular helmets was amusing because you never ever ride those in the up position. Least I don't. I do enjoy the best of both worlds option they provide though. Love your stuff & what you're doing. Thank you.

[@adamsandoval]

I just see so many people do it

[@jamesbatten6609]

I agree I occasionally wear a modular but never have it up while moving on the bike generally just have it up while preparing to ride putting on gloves zipping up jacket etc

[@roynelson7613]

that is a badass helmet all hands down

[@petedavis1040]

What's the price for it and how long did it take to receive if you ordered yours?!

[@adamsandoval]

you can find different pricing all over the internet. I got mine in 1 week

[@sergioalbertoperezvidales7601]

´m interested in buy one , what about the size? I´n 54-55 cm , it suppose to be size S but I´ve been reading somw reviews and they say to choose a bigger size , could you share your comments on this? thank you!

[@adamsandoval]

I would talk with them about sizing, I'm not sure myself

[@DeeBeeStudioSabah]

What color is this visor is it dark smoke or dark?

[@adamsandoval]

ya know, this video was a while ago, I don't exactly recall. what I can tell you is I highly recommend you look into the bell star with MIPS. That's what I'm using right now and I'm super pleased with it. check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYCQf5h-jJqkm6M

@@adamsandoval thks for the reply. But still the Bullitt is one good looking and comfortable helmet right

Anyone know where to buy this matte black color in 2019? Sold out everywhere

[@vespasandengines]

Any problems riding at night?

[@skinchini72]

Hey Adam,Have you tried this with the bubble shield? I have been looking at the carbon fiber Mojo version for a few months. I love my open face, but my neck with all the titanium and screws in it doesn't after about 5 hours. I like the added protection and style of this. I hear the bubble shield adds some buffeting in the wind, but it has to be less than what I have now. Any input since you probably have more than a couple of miles with it. Thanks

[@adamsandoval]

I have not tried the bubble, but I have a few friends who love it!

[@joseenriques5791]

Hi Adam. I am looking to buy a helmet right now. I know you have so many helmets and I have seen all your reviews. Would you still recommend this helmet? Or do you have any other helmet that you would recommend me? Thank you! Remember, I am from El Salvador and thanks to you, I bought my first Harley Street glide bike! Cheers brother!!

does the liner come out of this helmet?

The Bell Bullit looks amazing, but it's not worth the money in my opinion. It's very loud and does not fair well in the arrow dynamic depart. I would not recommend anyone to spend $400+ on one. Speaking from experience, I got rid of mine asap.

[@LaBeatrie]

Title Text Here

[@vashonmart]

I don't know... it is a 400 to 450 dollar helmet that scored only 3 star at SHARP safety rating. It's front top and back scored good but sides scored just 1 step away from worst score possible. I can find helmets that score 4 or 5 star at SHARP rating at half the price from HJC, Scorpion Exo, ect... not really comfortable buying a helmet because it has cool style.

[@adamsandoval]

Everyone needs to buy what works for them. For me #1 is actually wanting to wear it.. the safest hemet in the world does you no good sitting on the shelf.

I’ve had it for four months and it’s shit loud hardly any protection great field of view but bell are just saving on carbon windy as fuck freezes your head in the uk through a winter it’s like a gale going through it I would not buy another but it looks super cool far better helmets for a lot less money no point trying to listen to music you’d need to play it at 200 decibels to hear it and that will make you death anyway this is a all looks summer helmet that’s it don’t be fooled just because it’s a bell and that huge visor just means less frontal protection carbon costs money air costs nothing I give it 4 out of ten

Its called good service friend. When people ask I answer the best I can.

[@tomjjackson21]

It's a terrible helmet other than asthetics. It's the loudest helmet I've ever owned. It has a screeching whistle, and any speed over 50 and you're going to be suffocated by the insane amount of wind. Would I purchase again, yes. Just for cruising around town. Any, even remotely serious riding keep looking. Its literally the worst helmet I've ever seen at speed. It's the most amazing helmet I've ever owned for bar hopping.
