Bell Moto-3 Vs Royal H01 Helmet

[@Petereeno]

Dude, don’t apologize this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. And finally someone actually puts it on. Thank you

[@PottersWork]

I’m glad to hear that! I was trying to cover all the things I wanted to know before I bought them. Which one did you decide on? I’ve been pretty much wearing the Bell 99% of the time

[@Petereeno]

I snagged the Bell. Harley Davidson has their own version called the Stinger B14. It’s $90 right now

[@PottersWork]

@@Petereeno, oh nice! That’s a good price!

[@AWCustomDesigns]

You say this is your first helmet review, but it was probably the best, most in depth review that I’ve seen! 👍 You answered all of the questions that I had and then some. Thank you !

[@PottersWork]

Wow, thank you! I was worried people would hate it because it’s too long. I think I could have probably shortened it up a little still. Thank you for the confidence boost AW!

[@coolhandrob8893]

This is the best and most thorough motorcycle helmet review I've ever watched. Thanks for this. I needed this exact comparison.

[@PottersWork]

Rob, thank you! That makes me feel better, I was worried it was too long, but couldn’t cut any more out of the video with good conscience. Also, I’ve been wearing the Royal the last couple days since it’s been so hot here (105°), and will say after wearing a little more it does breathe better than the Bell, but that’s at the expense of less padding I believe.

[@PottersWork]

I apologize if this video was too long, I just wanted to be thorough. Hope it helps some folks with their decision! If it did, please leave me a thumbs up! Also would love to hear other’s opinions on these helmets in the comments.

[@gillounet4766]

Don't apologize about your great reviews and comparaisons. That's what I was looking for. Thank you !!!

[@riverbankmactavishmcghee4573]

Was looking for parts to refurbish my '81 Moto 3 helmet and I came across this Royal for $40.99!! Thanks for your excellent video. Will be perfect to go with my cafe style E cruiser and grey beard! Cheers.

[@PottersWork]

No problem, glad it was helpful! Sounds like you have a perfect bike to pair it with too

[@SabrinaBooth-zi4ul]

Thanks for the informative review. I’ve been looking at these models, and I really like the overall style of the Royal helmet, but I was concerned whether it would offer sufficient protection. I also wondered about the profile of each and how they compared and how they looked on. I like that they’re not too bobbly. You covered all the features well and any questions that I had. I’m also very thorough in researching potential purchases, which sometimes can border on OCD, but regardless of whether my obsession with details makes a significant improvements in the quality of life, I’ve learned a lot about different products and items which I wouldn’t have known otherwise, and for that I’m grateful. You never know when this wealth of random knowledge will come in handy. I own a Bell which was expensive, and it’s very good quality. I can always wear it on longer trips and high speeds. Most of my riding is in town however at lower speeds, below 40, so after viewing this, I’d be comfortable getting the Royal for daily, in-town, shorter rides. It will probably feel better in warmer weather, as well, as it’s not as tight. My Bell is also very tight getting on and off, but I’m glad for that for highway speeds where it’s critical for your protective gear to stay on. Both looked good, so you can’t go wrong. Thanks again!

[@PottersWork]

I would say I toe that line of OCD as well when trying to make a decision, so we are the same in that regard lol. I still have both these helmets and I will say that I wear the Bell more often, but the Royal is cooler in the summer. The Royal also doesn’t have as much space between my nose and the face of the helmet, so a face/chin impact might cause it to contact your nose more easily. I’m glad you found the review helpful, I was worried it was too drug out even though I was trying to be thorough!

[@frslas]

I have Biltwell Gringos, but I recently bought a Bell Moto III. It indeed was an ear puller the first time I put it on, but once it was on the fit very good.

[@PottersWork]

How do you think the Gringos compare to your Bell? The Gringo was one I had on my list as well when I was looking. I kind of want some Biltwell Moto 2.0 goggles, they look pretty slick with their retro look. And much cheaper than the 100% Barstow goggles.

[@frslas]

@@PottersWork I like the Gringo helmet and I have always used Biltwell goggles. The Gringo goes on and off much easier than the Bell, but the Bell is quieter. Both are good helmets and the Gringo is now DOT/ECE like the Bell.

[@PottersWork]

@@frslas, thanks for the info! I actually like a helmet that is not too quiet so I can hear my bike…it’s nice to hear if something is wrong before it gets too bad. The Bell definitely is quiet enough I can’t hear much from my bike.

[@STIjojoSTI]

Just got my Royal yesterday. Mine came with the visor. I really like the conoact look of it. Ver nice review too! 👍👍👍

[@PottersWork]

Is it the actual Royal brand visor? I couldn't find one anywhere for ours! And thank you!

[@STIjojoSTI]

@@PottersWork Mine was a VRM brand, but its made by Royal for VRM. Theres still Royal written on the chin strap area.

[@PottersWork]

@@STIjojoSTI, oh gotcha! You’ll have to let me know how you like the helmet adapter having it for a bit!

[@STIjojoSTI]

@@PottersWork What helmet adaptor? You mean the visor? It completes the look. Really like it. Mine came with it.

[@PottersWork]

@@STIjojoSTI, sorry! That was supposed to say "let me know how you like the helmet AFTER having it for a bit". my bad lol.

Fantastic review, mate. Just what I needed. Thanks.

Thank you! I hope it helped make your decision!

great comparison man. wish more helmets n gear had vids this thorough

[@PottersWork]

Thank you! I wish they did too, I was hoping this would help some other people who had the same questions I did.

[@alexnazarchuk8514]

Thanks for reviewing,I’m gonna buy helmet

[@PottersWork]

No problem! Hope it was helpful!

[@Marcos-nm4vl]

Great video, explained everything in detail. I liked the Royal, I thought it was very pretty, and the shorter front makes a difference to its appearance...If they start selling it here in Brazil, I'll try one. Thank you very much.

[@PottersWork]

I like the Royal’s appearance a little more too. However the Bell does feel more substantial and safer for sure.

[@pietrogajang478]

mano, a lucca custom ta vendendo o magno x, que é igual ao Royal

[@mireliomarzo6468]

Great review .. No fillers at all . Great illustrations

[@PottersWork]

Thank you Mirelio! Just out of curiosity which helmet are you looking at buying?

[@romanobalacchi9729]

really thank you for this fantastic video. Can I ask you what model of Fox goggles you used?

[@TruthSeeker9038]

Thinking about getting the Royal Ho1 for summer. I have a shoei currently, but man in this summer heat it sucks. This style looks a lot more breathable. Does it feel like you could trust it on highway speeds?

[@PottersWork]

I would say personally, I think it would be better than nothing obviously at highway speeds, but I myself would want something more substantial. There’s not a ton of padding inside compared to the Bell, the bell def feels much safer if you were going to take an impact.

[@marineprint9684]

Nice comparison bro, you really helped me

Thanks for taking the time to say so Alejandro! Which one are you going with?

[@calin61272]

Thank you for the video! I have a question. Do you believe that the Size M could also pass to you? I see that the Helmet it's kind of shaking a little bit. Or do you think that the Size L is the right one? Thank you! I have 56-57 and am not sure what to order..

[@PottersWork]

Hello Calin! Are you asking about the Royal Helmet? If so, a medium MIGHT fit, but it’s hard to say without having one on hand. The large definitely doesn’t fit as snug as the medium Bell, but it’s not really loose either. If your head is a bit smaller than mine, it might be worth a shot to try the medium. If you do, let me know how it fits!

[@calin61272]

@@PottersWork Thanks for your reply! Yes I was asking about the Royal. I think I will try Size M and I will let you know how it fits

You bet Calin! Hope it made your decision easier.

[@guypiaquadio]

i love the look of the royal, but which one feels safer?? thats my biggest qualm, bell is such a household name

[@PottersWork]

The Bell definitely feels safer and I believe is safer. Much more padding and technology for sure.

[@yashesvi-raina]

How can I buy the H01 from India?

[@codygreene6222]

Great review!!

[@PottersWork]

Thank you Cody! Hope it was helpful!

[@waltergonzalez328]

The royal has Removable and Washable Liners? and the space for speakers?

[@PottersWork]

The liner seems to be only partially removable…there are snaps on the side and cheek pads, but the rear padding seems to be stuck pretty good. I would say there is room for speakers for sure, at least with my head there is plenty of room. It doesn’t fit as tight as the Bell, which I’d say would be tight getting speakers in that helmet.

[@emp6140]

Is the chart good to follow? Mine says I should order size Large. My head is 22".

[@PottersWork]

I went with the recommended size on the chart for both helmets

[@emp6140]

@@PottersWork ok, thank you for the response 👍

[@PottersWork]

@@emp6140, you bet!

[@Jack-yu4lu]

Would the Moto 3 cheek pads fit into the Royal helmet?

[@PottersWork]

Jack, The royal helmet has a weird style push pin clip that holds them in, and the bell has snap in. The snaps don’t appear to be in the same location either. So I would say no, without heavy modification. Hope that helps!

[@jelouguimbal6751]

infairness with Royal based on my experience The built quality looks not premium but Got into a really bad fall and dragged thank god Im safe. but because of its snug fit and stability on the head. But it got a very big scratch on the side but that thing saved my head

[@PottersWork]

I’m glad you’re ok man! Are you planning on buying another Royal?

[@tygracia]

Great review

[@PottersWork]

Thank you!

[@markjacobs3956]

I have the bell and glasses are impossible to put into it. What about the royal?

[@PottersWork]

I agree, Bell is super tight for glasses. My son has worn his glasses with the Royal, so it’s doable for sure.

[@franciscomaffi9722]

Hi, what size do you recommend for 60 cm? L or XL?

[@PottersWork]

On the Royal or the Bell?

[@franciscomaffi9722]

@@PottersWork on the Royal please

[@PottersWork]

@@franciscomaffi9722, in my opinion I would say most likely the XL. I think a L will be too tight for a 60cm head.

[@Flockingtheherd]

Have you tried the bycity the rock helmet?

[@PottersWork]

Ryan, I have not! Is it a similar helmet? I did just buy a Bell MX-9 Adventure helmet for colder days. I might do a review on it sometime soon.

[@kevin-yy8fv]

you think the royal h 01 is safe?

[@PottersWork]

In my non-expert opinion, I think it would be safe at lower speeds. There is a substantial difference in padding between the two, with the Bell having quite a bit more. The Bell feels more substantial too while wearing it. We bought the Royal for my son to wear while riding his Honda Ruckus, and it’s top speed is 35-40mph. I will tell you if he was going any faster I’d put him in the Bell. Again though, I’m not an expert on helmet safety ratings. Hope that is helpful!

Hi, can these work in rainy season?

[@PottersWork]

I haven’t personally worn mine in the rain, and I’ve been lucky enough to not be caught in a storm. I don’t know that they would be much protection from moisture at all, maybe just your eyes if you are wearing goggles.
