from Bellevue, WA. USA Date Reviewed: May 17, 2004 Strengths: Serviceable, basic, yet comfortable. Economical. The black on red graphics make it appear more expensive. Weaknesses: Chin strap doesn't stay snug. As the ride progresses, body heat (or some mysterious force) causes the strap to loosen up. I do pinch myself about 50% of the time when trying to release. Universal sizing is ok, not terrific. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $29.00 Purchased At: Performance Bike Similar Products Used: giro gila Bike Setup: 2000 Intense Tracer with full XTR and Mavic ceramic rims.

from tightbung1@yahoo.com Date Reviewed: April 13, 2003 Strengths: Straps and clasps are weak. Mine broke on 3rd ride. Means helmet is junk Weaknesses: Giro, older good Bells Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Bike Setup: Junk. DO NOT BUY. The cheap clasps that adjust the rentention straps are Junk. Mine broke one the thrid use. They have very small, weak half-moon shaped pins that fit in the holes and in theory are suppossed to provide enough strength to hold the clasp closed. Mine popped out, first the left, then the right. Now every time I try to close them, they pop out and the helmet cannot be used. Can imaginge how well it would hold in an accident. Bell has cheapened its helmets with this low end made in China garbage. A few years ago they got in a big mess because of defective retention systems and apparently they have not learned. An unsafe helmet. Cannot give negative ratings to it or a would. Does not deserve even one "chili"

from Tokyo, Japan Date Reviewed: April 8, 2003 Strengths: It is a helmet. Pads are durable. Does not have an excess of holes, therefor allowing it to be constructed of less hard foam--should assorb impact better Weaknesses: Straps--especially the new design for the chinstrap clasp Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $56.00 Purchased At: Mont Bell, Yokohama, Japan Similar Products Used: Bell, Giro Bike Setup: 2 wheels, cranks, chain. I suppose this seems absurdly irrelevant for evaluating a helmet.
