Bell Powersports Mag-9 Motorcycle Helmets

I love the look of this helmet, the fit was perfect, snug, and will loosen a bit with use. The shaded visor is a bit difficult to bring down; I'm hoping that it will get easier with use. It springs back in place with no problem. Highway noise is much less than with my last one. Great helmet for the money!

Best helmet !! Love it!

I have had some time in the saddle and a trip using the helmet and it is working very well. It is broken in and very comforable. Very happy with it. JUST RECEIVED IT. 2 DAYS AFTER ORDERING. AS SOME OF THE REVIEWS STATED IT APPEARS TO RUN SMALL. THE CHIN STRAP ATTACHMENT SEEMS CHEAP. OVER ALL VERY NICE HELMET. HOPEFULLY I CAN REMEMBER TO UPDATE THIS REVIEW AFTER SOME TIME IN THE SADDLE.

Nice air flow. Comfortable to wear. Nice looking

the chin strap was not secure because I did not fixit in time of my motorcycle accident but the helmet itself saved my life. I good a good deal on it

Don't know why this helmet is titled "Mens", as it works great for my wife. I also have this model (in flat black) w/ the SENA 10 clamp kit. I had to go elsewhere to get her the clamp kit (mic, speakers, bracket) that is specific to this helmet and sold (labeled) thru Bell. An extra $40, but I knew this going in. Installing the clamp kit is a piece of cake. We had the SENA 10 system installed on our closed face helmets, but wanted this system on the open face/ 3/4 helmets for warm weather riding. We ride 2-up and use this system only as a wire-free intercom, so I have no idea how it works for bike-to-bike comm. The SENA 10 units clip right off one helmet and snap on to the other. Real easy. I got the size M for myself and also for the little woman. My head measures just on the lower range for M, and her's is even a bit smaller, but she said she wouldn't want anything smaller (she had size S helmets before that she wasn't too fond of the fit). The "D-rings" and strap are very easy to work - thread, tighten, and snap. The hood piece is out of eye range, so it's useless as a sunblock. More of a style thing, I think. It can be removed, but I don't think it changes the wind noise level (we ride behind a full fairing). The 2 vent inlets don't allow any "felt" breeze thru, w/ or w/o the hood. Also, no change of noise level, vents opened or closed (behind my big fairing/ windshield. You may be able to feel some breeze on an open m/c, but I don't know. The dark shade is just a touch darker than some other helmets' drop-down sun visor. Still, it could be darker. It also should come down a bit more as it's easy to see bright light while looking down. The clear shield can be flipped up to use just the dark shield, or no shield at all w/ just a pair of glasses. The price is a bit higher than it should be for this Chinese made helmet. Also, Bell doesn't allow retailers to lower the price on current model helmets. If so, I think this Mag-9 Sena would be around $100-$120

I'm not getting rid of my full face Shoei, but I really like this open face helmet. It really is nice to have the open feel for rides that aren't on long stretches of freeway. The clear visor is excellent for protection over my sunglasses. I wear prescription sunglasses, but the internal Sun shield works very well also. The lid shade does give you decent protection from Sun in the eyes also. You will get wind noise with this helmet at freeway speeds. If you want total silence get a full face. However, it really is nice when you are making stops, or at slower speeds, to flip the shield up and have the air on your face or be able to talk to someone without yelling through the opening of a full face. I am waiting for my Sena. Will update when I get it.

I bought this through Amazon. There seem to be a lot of riders that like this helmet, and based upon those reviews, I thought I'd try it out. But, to me, this helmet is not good. By way of comparison, I previously used an HJC IS-33. I chose the Bell Mag-9 because I liked the idea of being able to configure the helmet to use without the face shield and the Sena compatibility. I wanted to like this helmet, but there are a few things that make it hard to. The helmet looks great, but compared to the HJC, it is very noisy. Also, the visor fastening/release mechanism is pretty cheaply made; while removing the visor, one of the mounting tabs promptly broke, making it impossible to put the visor back on, but since I don't ride with it anyway, it's no big deal for me, but still...I think that it's just a poor design. The worst thing, however, is that the internal visor will not stay down, not even for a second. The internal visor is one of the reasons I bought this helmet, and it is simply not usable. I contacted Bell about this issue, but they have chosen not to respond. Well I'm stuck with it for now, since I can't afford to get two new helmets within the same year. Added Since my original review, I've downgraded this from 2 to 1 star because the lever that controls the internal visor has completely broken off!! I'm gentle with these things and don't muscle them to make them work. It seems just another example of how cheaply this was made. I don't think I'll use this helmet anymore; if the components break this easily, I'm not sure it will protect my head. Oh, and Bell did finally respond to one of my emails. According to them, I would have to send them the helmet on my dime for them to EVALUATE the helmet to see if it it would fall under warranty work. Are you kidding me??

O capacete é muito bom, agora com a viseira de sol ficou melhor ainda. Achei um pouco grande e infelizmente não cabe embaixo do banco da scooter. Eu tenho o MAG 8 excelente, mas ta véinho. Chegou tudo certo e dentro do previsto. Obrigado

We ordered this helmet and it was too small. I thought this is going to be a night mare to return...Wrong. The whole experience was great one, even though it didn't fit. LOL

The helmet looked OK out of the box. The first time it was used, the inner darkened visor extended and would not retract. I had to remove the inner lining of the helmet so that I could retract the visor and actually get back home again - night was about to fall. This obviously negated the possibility of returning or exchanging the item. Very disappointing.

Light ang strong. Viser integraded and functional.

Good value for the money. Less weight and less wind noise will make it a great helmet .
