Submitted by BigheadBiker a from California
Date Reviewed: February 25, 2008
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Strengths:It fits!
Weaknesses:No visor option, like many other Bell models. Gets kinda sunny when you are huffing and puffing up a hill in the morning. And as others noted, basic and bland styling.
Bottom Line:If you have ample brain capacity, there are few helmets that will fit. I know, I tried them all. Bell used to custom make large bike helmets back in the day. No more, but at least they sell this large helmet.

Submitted by Johnny Vee a Weekend Warrior from Ft Washington, MD
Date Reviewed: October 3, 2005
Favorite Trail:D.C. to Mt Vernon, VA
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Strengths:The helmet fits those of us with unusually large domes. When your head is the size of a bus, there isn't too much out there to fit it. Bell has a good product, and it's cheap.
Weaknesses:The style is from the 1960s...pre-Brady Bunch. Expect to look more like Louis Armstrong in a helmet instead of Lance.
Bottom Line:Not many choices, but this is a practical compromise. This website (http://www.bhsi.org/bighead.htm)gives a bit of information about other manufacturers. Bottom line, us large brain, large head dudes and dudettes need to write the manufacturers to get more choices and better styles.

Submitted by Dave Bell a Weekend Warrior from Everett, WA. USA
Date Reviewed: June 13, 2000
Favorite Trail:St. Edward Park
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Strengths:It's a Bell, and it fits!
Weaknesses:It only comes in two colors, bland styling.
Similar Products Used:None.
Bike Setup:GT Tequesta, Ritchey tires & pads, Azonic riser bar, Salsa stem, Salsa "Rasta" skewers & seat post quick release, Salsa grips, WTB SST-X saddle.
Bottom Line:It's comfortable, it's light and it's reasonably priced. Wish it was cooler looking, but hey, it fits. Kudos to Bell for making a helmet for the "cranially endowed". Five flamin' chilis for value, only four flamin' chilis for bland styling.
