So i just received my new lid today and thought I would pass along my thoughts on it. Just plain awesome! I'm no expert, but the materials and fit and finish seem excellent. I took a ride (40 degrees) and the helmet kept me pretty warm. Once I opened the vents I couldn't believe how much air it flowed. Should be great this summer! Seems pretty quite and the padding is extremely comfortable. The graphics are amazing with the hint of the carbon fiber showing through the clear. Overall I think this is a very very nice helmet. Just my thoughts!

I may feel stupid for asking, but what am I looking at in this picture?

Not at all. I had my ultra wide lens so it kinda messes with the eye. That is the fin on the back of the helmet. If that's what you were asking. Ha!

Looks great!
Plus, if it fits your head comfortably, that makes it better than great.:thumbsup:

Ya I was a little nervous ordering a helmet without trying it on first. Fortunately it fits very well and seems to be true to size. I know Bell made some adjustments this year because they had some complaints in the past.

Great lookin helmet! I too have been looking into getting the Bell Star helmet. The graphic scheme that I am thinking about getting is the limited edition "Benjamin" scheme. It's the one with all the $100 dollar bills on it. Keep us informed on how the new helmet works out for you.
