I purchased the sand/brown/gray helmet. As usual for bell sizing was dead on. This is my first duel sport helmet. So it'll take some getting used to. I mainly ride sport bikes. But bought a DR so needed another lid. What I like most about it is the shield. It allows you to see alot. No real obstruction anywhere. But does come with a clear shield. My smoked shield was another $40. Wind noise, yeah it has it at highway speeds. But its not unbearable & from what I read it is expected with these types of helmets. I also purchased Strata 100% goggles for it also for when hitting the trails. Fitment is great plus you can easily close shield with goggles on in someone infront of you starts slinging dirt.All in all I'm pleased with it.

I've worn a Bell helmets since riding my first bike. This helmet fits me perfect and is comfortable for extended rides. Noise level is lower than an open face helmet and not distracting. No problems with face shield fogging. Haven't had a chance to test the MIPS factor nor do I want one but Bell technology offers me confidence in the safety built into this helmet. The only down side I've found so far is in donning prescription glasses which presents challenges in wearing them properly. I hope to resolve this issue by experimenting with the cheek pads.. Overall, I'm pleased with this helmet and reccomend.

Purchased my first on-off and realized none of my helmets matched, and thats how I found this. First off, Movatik's deal I got was incredible. I paid so little, I'm not quite sure they made any money. It appears the color I picked may have gotten removed, as I don't see it anymore, so maybe that's why, but it's the one in the picture above, Black and Safety yellow on the bottom and I love it.I am a huge fan of full face, and this is the perfect mix between Dirt Bike and street use.It pulls a little when you lift your face up, but thats expected with a visor like this, and you have your visor tipped down for the sun most of the time anyway.I will always purchase Bell helmets as they have the crash replacement policy, so if you ever bump your noggin, the last ... MorePurchased my first on-off and realized none of my helmets matched, and thats how I found this.

Call them up, and theyll hook you up with a killer discount on the website on a new helmet. I fell on my face one time, minor laceration on my leg, road rash and scrapes on the front of my helmet, but I really don't think there was much of an impact, and without any questions, Bell gave me a 50% discount code.Downside seems like spending the 150$ on an auto-tinting visor seems like the only way to go, but I haven't made that investment yet.Overall, I am super happy with my purchase at Movatik and my Bell helmet.

This helmet fits me perfectly. Not one uncomfortable pressure point. Visibility is excellent. Minimal fogging but ventilation is good. My ONLY complaint is it's not the quietest. Not loud enough to be a deal breaker. It's weight is more comparable to motocross helmet rather than a standard full face.
The MX9 is a nice entry level helmet with some good features.Pros- Great price point- Great fit for an intermediate oval melon. Never had any hotspots.- Vision field is pretty good (yes visor has distortion at bottom as part of design never bothered me tbh).- Great visor options. Transitions, smoke and clear all available and reasonably priced.- MIPS - enough said.- Vented well.Cons- Noisey as heck- Fixed vents let rain in- Visor to helmet fitment poor (moderate rain showers causes visor to flood)- Helmet design barely accommodates installation of comms base plate (helmet is thick right where the comms base plate needs to go)With all that said the MX9 is a good starting point for any ADV rider. I just want a better made helmet with decent ... MoreThe MX9 is a nice entry level helmet with some good features.Pros- Great price point- Great fit for an intermediate oval melon.

WrThis was my first time purchasing a D/S helmet and I’m overall quite happy. The cheek pads were snug at first, but within a few days broke in nicely. I wear a large in Shoei and the same in this helmet. The mirrored face shields are the icing on the cake. I mostly bought this for the MIPS safety aspect.Some areas for future improvement:1) Add a chin curtain to keeep the cold off of your chin.2) Add closable vents.Doing those 2 improvements would make this the perfect helmet for me and I would gladly pay $50 extra for these small features. Come on Bell, I know that you’re listening!ite your review here. It must be at least 25 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.
Bought this in Colorado Springs back in December '17. Rode it in the cold, rode it in the sun, rode it in the dirt with goggles and it performed great. I rode it one day in the rain and it was leaking into my face shield and pooling up to the point where I couldn't see out of my left eye. I had to open the face shield in order to pour water out while it was raining.Contacted Cycle Gear via customer support e-mail and they told me to try to get a claim through Bell Helmets warranty. Bell Helmets said that I was probably riding with the visor partially open. I checked at least a half a dozen times during my ride to make sure it was closed. I don't appreciate being talked down to by a customer service representative. I'm a customer who bought a defective product and ... MoreBought this in Colorado Springs back in December '17.

As a result, I purchased a Shoe for my wife for 2 Up rides and I am looking to go back to Arai or Shoei for my street helmet.Bell, you are a disappointment.
Best helmet ever. I've been using Bell helmets for over 50 years. At this time I have 3. The fit, function and looks are excellent. I highly recommend the Dalton line of helmets.
This is my first dual sport helmet and it was worth the purchase. I traded out the clear lenses for some dark smoke. I also purchased the cold weather kit from Bell's website for the cold Appalachian mornings. The helmet is comfortable and beats any motor cross helmet on the highway. Very breathable helmet as well. And yes, you can run goggles perfectly fine. This helmet's visor can be removed as well so you can run it as a sport bike helmet which is sick
I've been wearing Bell helmets since I was a kid starting over five decades ago. This is my first new Bell for offroad motorcycle use in three decades and, true to form, the sizing was right, the capabilities were there and it was affordable. I'm mostly a fair weather rider in Northern Nevada high country desert and that means ventilation is required and this works. It's comfortable, has speaker pockets for intercom/phone use, has plenty of room to bury wires and also has snap out cheek pads that make the process simple. I'd like to have a little more movement on the peak but for the most part this is hitting all my sweet spots. I like it.
