I'm giving one away on my channel, there's one more day to enter. You can verify it's legit with Kelly if you'd be so kind as to leave this comment here for now
Well, Forcite has the MK1S. Though it doesn't have a rear camera or transition lens. When it comes to cameras, they are power hogs. The helmet goes from 8+ hours of run time with the audio system only but if you run the camera, that time drops to something like 2 hours. A second camera would drop that time even further. What's worse is that the quality of the image still doesn't hold up compared to a mounted quality Go Pro. With bikes getting so advanced now, technologically advanced helmets should plug into the bike via a usb cable.
That might take a while. That much tech would add a lot of weight to the helmet. On top of that the battery life would be awful. The Mach v commander has like an 8 hour battery life if you added a front and rear camera that would probably be cut in half. If not more.
I have a video of my Shoei with all this on it except rear camera. I don't think this is that hard for companies to do. Ruroc has the Shockwave that should hold all the tech/batteries needed to add a front and rear camera at the top of the helmet most for insurance purposes doesn't have to be go pro quality@@copingcarot1384
I have yet to find a "smart" helmet worth the price. I mean, I have a helmet with a built in Bluetooth audio device that is pretty solid and cost me 300 CAD. - Modular - Inner Retractable Sun Visor - Bluetooth Audio that can connect to other helmets, local radio, or phone. Lasts anywhere from 8 to 10 hours. - Multiple air vents that circulate air well. The drawback is that the helmet is noisy. Anywhere up to 80km/h isn't too bad but once you get up over 100 km/h it gets to a the point where you can barely hear the audio at max volume and after 3 or so hours, expect to have the ears ringing like having got home from a concert. Supposedly a lot of the noise is due to the open bottom so I plan to get a neck guard/cushion. Meanwhile that helmet is over double the price and is USD. Convert that to CAD and it's more than triple the price. With only two feature that are better. - Higher quality audio system - Inflatable ear cushions
Does it have a sun shield? How well does the airflow do in rain? Those air vents (as you described) seem like they'd let rain into the helmet. Good review! Ride safe!
That's a neat-looking helmet ... sounds like you could smoke a cigar in there and the venturis would drag the smoke out... future test? I dunno about that visor though - blocks a gopro mount at the chin!
@@IronBornRider Oh man, I already do that. Knowing me, I'd hit the button for the Cardo, and then blabber into the ether for 20 minutes, recording nothing.
That was a very honest review. I've actually been looking at these for a little while now. I may get one and do my own review on my Channel as well. Subscribed to your channel too. Great Video!
Is this film on the back of the clear shield .l have removed the yellow on the back of my tinted but I have the same thing on it it’s like little scratches
I purchased the unit. I'm not satisfied. I find it to be cold and even up to 34 degree weather. It is extremely noisy over 40 miles per hour and the button controls are difficult with gloves
I ride a cruiser and I despise the rider aesthetic. I wear Alpinestars, sportbike helmets. I'm not going to lose my jaw in a crash to look "old". Also, if you're gonna attract younger riders to cruisers, you don't want them to think they have to look like they haven't showered. No offense!
@mattwuk well, like you said it's aesthetic prejudice, judgement. I ain't mad at ya. I'm just not gonna wear dangly bits and stirrups just because I ride a Harley. It doesn't require a uniform.
You have other motorcycles 🏍️ helmets 🪖 you like them well if this new helmet 🪖 your taking about an you don’t l8ke it return or make your own if it irritates your skin an beard 🧔♂️
