Bell RS-1 Helmet - Solid Colors

The all-new Bell RS-1 Solid Helmet bridges the gap between the top-of-the-line Bell Star and the value-minded Vortex with an amazing blend of mid-line price and high-end performance. Starting with a lightweight Kevlar/fiberglass composite shell, the RS-1 brings it with Bell’s vaunted Velocity Flow Ventilation system providing cool comfort, a super stable aerodynamic profile keeping the helmet still at speed, and the versatile Click Release shield system for fast, easy shield swaps…not to mention an amazing variety of tint and coating choices. The Bell RS-1 Helmet should be a game changer in the mid-high end helmet assortment. The RS-1 Helmet will prove its worth on track and street alike.

Contour Cut Cheekpads and a plush, removable, washable liner cradle the head in comfort while Bell’s exclusive Magnafusion magnetic strap keeper makes flapping strap ends a thing of the past. All told, it’s one great helmet at a modest price.

Features:

  • Snell M2010 Certification
  • Velocity Flow Ventilation
  • Super Stable Aerodynamic Signature
  • 3Mode Shield - Lock, Ratchet, Crack

I was very excited when I ordered this helmet and tried to convince myself to like it, but just couldn't do it. I had trouble with noise, the turbulence, an incredibly annoying whistle with the visor down, and strange ticking noise by my right ear.
When I was riding home from a friend's house and realized I just wanted to get home and get this helmet off of my head, I knew it was time to return it.

By itself, I would put this helmet on par with the RF-1100 and similar helmets, but the available photochromic visor puts this helmet in a class of its own.
Comparing to my old Exo 400, the Bell is quieter, more comfortable, the padding seems higher quality.

I purchase the RS-1 after I could not take the Vortex wind noise any longer. The RS-1 is much quieter. The fit is perfect. I'm a medium in the Vortex and Arai Vector II. Love the transition shield I had on the Vortex and it swaps easy onto RS-1. Some issues: first helmet arrived and the padding that is glued to the right side of helmet was unglued. Revzilla swapped it with ease. Second one is kinda loose as well but not too bad. The plastic lock on shield is cheap and does not function as expected. I hear the Bell Star lock is metal and better quality. If you are looking for a budget helmet and trying to decide between the Vortex and RS-1 definetly go with the RS-1. It is by no means the quality of the Suomy Bostrom Replica I owned. But it is half the price. On a side note, I had to send my Vortex to Bell for warranty repair. They provided a shipping label and sent me a new helmet within a week. Hope to have this kind of service when the plastic shield lock breaks.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The bell RS-1 is a very nice helmet, the price is perfect. I didn't want to spend 700 on a helmet and 180 seemed to cheep. The style of the helmet is pretty futuristic, and is very comfortable!

I went down at the end of last year's riding season, but only had to replace my Carbon Fiber HJC FS-15 helmet from the impact. The Bell RS-1 seemed to get rave reviews and the ability to install a Transitions shield made it an easy purchase decision. The Bell medium seams to have a nice, snug fit for my head compared to my previous HJC and looks downright mean with a dark shield. It also flows alot of air when you need it. Based upon its reviews and features, I couldn't justify passing over the RS-1 for the Bell Star. With the money I saved over the Star, it was like I got the Transitions shield for free.

I have to commend Revzilla for their outstanding video product reviews. After watching their review of the Bell RS-1, I felt I had all the information I needed to make a confident purchase. I received the helmet very quickly, and having worn the helmet for the last two weeks, I can say that I am extremely pleased with the quality, comfort, style and technology this helmet provides. As stated in the video review, the medium size did fit me a little snug, but not uncomfortably snug. It felt very secure and the interior padding is all day comfortable and durable. The exterior aesthetics of the helmet are superb and provides a fit and finish to rival even the most expensive brands out on the market today. The venting is very functional and provides significant airflow when all vents are open and you are moving at both highway speeds and back road jaunts. The small lever on the left hand side of the visor allows for two levels of adjustable venting from the bottom of the visor. Head checks at speed do not interfere with the positioning of the helmet and provides for efficient aerodynamics. I purchased the photocromic visor with this helmet and from a safety perspective when riding at night, it just can't be beat. The only company that I know of currently that offers this type of shield. All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase. Having owned and ridden in everything from AGV Ti-Techs, Arai Corsair Vs, Suomy Spec-1Rs, KBC VR-1s, and the list goes on, I can honestly say that $350.00 is a real bargain when it comes to this helmet. No regrets on this purchase and highly recommend this product to those in the market for a quality lid.

Answer: 
I would not recommend washing the helmet liner in any washing machine. I would recommend washing the liner by hand in a sink using a mild detergent like dish soap or Woolite. I have done this myself for several helmets I have had. The liner takes little time to wash and best if air dried.

I comes with a standard face shield. If you want a dark face shield or the SolFX face shield you have to buy separated.

Answer: 
The standard clear faceshield comes with this lid. The photochromic model shown in some of the photos, comparable to Transitions sunglasses, is another $95. The combination is still a better price than comparable hats from Arai or Shoei, and you don't get that visual jitter that can happen with more than one visor (even sunglasses and a visor) in front of your eyes while astride a vibrating machine. If you went with another Bell full-face helmet in the future, you can still use the same light-sensitive face shield . . . Name me another brand that will accommodate that!

Answer: 
They all come with the standard clear shield. All my helmets, including the Bell Star helmet came with clear shield.

You have to buy the tinted or mirrored kind if you wish. I bought the light gold iridium and looks really good. Light enough to wear at night.

I was wondering about the noise in these two helmets. I fell in love with the fit of the Bell RS-1 but a salesman at another store told me that Bell helmets tend to be noisy. I was wondering what you thought.

Answer: 
The Bell RS-1 is reportedly better than average when it comes to noise control. Bell has a wide range of helmets, and while some of their more economical styles can tend to be noisy, the RS-1 is a very high quality helmet and does a good job blocking excess noise.

Answer: 
I have an RS-1, a top of the line Shoei and a Bell Star - Noise also has a lot to do with fit and seal so for me:

Most comfortable - RS 1
Quietest - RS 1
Best Looking - Bell Star Cerwinske :) (My RS1 is a conservative gloss black -what was I thinking!)
Best aerodynamics - Shoei (no appreciable difference until 130 MPH and up - so for general purpose, they're all great through the wind.)

As to noise, the RS1 has more padding than the Shoei and the Star and a tighter seal around the neck so for me it's a bit quieter. I'm an L in all three and the RS1 is the snuggest fit. They're all comfy, they're all good through the wind.

Star has by far the best ventilation, though the RS1 and Shoei do vent well.

Big BIG plus of the Bell brand is you can get the photochromatic shield - The transitions shield is worth EVERY PENNY!!! The thought of switching from Bell to another brand is now almost impossible until they offer a transitions shield. If you don't do day to night commuting etc. then might not be a big deal but if you want crystal clear in all light conditions with ZERO effort... Like I said - I never want to ride without it.

Want to buy Bell RS-1. My head at widest points: circumference = 60cm. Over the top, between the ears (laughter) = 27 cm. Front to back = 32 cm. My old RF800 XL was probably too big when purchased, now, way too loose. Free G-MAX medium fits very well. According to Bell chart, my head size borders on L/XL. Revzilla video on Bell helmets suggests going down one size from suggested size. So, probably, I have a medium-large head; it's shape, however, eludes me. Advice? Other matter: one of your customers (happy) reports easily breakable face shield lock lever. Other site reviews report same. Are these aberrant reports? Thanks for reading this!!

Looking to replace my X11 this year. Does the RS1 fit like the X11? Keep in mind the RF1100 and Quest fit rounder heads than the X11 does. Will the RS1 work in an upright position like on my R1200RT? My X11 works just fine on my R1200RT when I put the windscreen down. I just am uncomfortable with the idea the vortex will be heavy and will catch the wind when I turn my head. Is this heavy like a Scorpion helmet or lighter more like the X11? Thanks

Answer: 
The RS-1 is best compared with the Shoei RF-1100 in fit and function. It has an intermediate oval headshape and is lighter than the Vortex, but not as light as the Bell Star. It should accommodate you fine in an upright riding position.

Answer: 
I've worn both, and though cannot say I've ridden with the X11, it seems to be just as light a helmet. Your RT has the same riding position as my Triumph Trophy though, and I have no problems with this RS-1. In fact, it really seems to slice nicely through the wind no matter how my head is oriented. A choice I would recommend. . . . Good luck.

Answer: 
I replaced my Scorpion EXO-700 with the Bell RS-1. To me, the RS-1 feels MUCH lighter than my old EXO-700 (a helmet I really liked). I have a medium oval head and the RS-1 fits me perfectly. Haven't tried a Bell Star but the Vortex seemed to feel more "neutral shaped" to me and the RS-1 feels like it favors the "oval shaped" heads. (or at least it favors mine). I ride sport, sport-tour, and a naked road-bike. I have experienced little, if any, buffeting no matter what bike I've been riding. Even freeway speed "head-checks" with no windscreen were no problem whatsoever. This helmet seems to slice right through the air.

Does the RS-1 have different shell sizes? I wear a size small and while I love my bell vortex, it looks giant on me. I had my eye on the bell STAR 2010 as it has 5 different shell sizes so small doesn't look as awkward, does the RS-1 also follow this? or are small headed people still forced to wear XXL helmets and look like bauble heads?

Answer: 
According to Bell, this helmet weighs 1,575 grams (about 3.5 lbs). I believe this is an average of the sizes, so the larger ones will be slightly more and the smaller sizes slightly less.
