Bell RS-1 RSD Flash Helmet

The Bell RS-1 RSD Flash Helmet is a limited edition helmet designed by Roland Sands. The combination of a matte black background and gold flecked striations along the side of this helmet truly deliver on the Flash promise. The Bell RS-1 also delivers on technicality. Bell engineers took a lot of the functionality of the  top-of-the-line Star and packed it into the RS-1 to create a helmet that is perfect for the aggressive sport rider. On the street or on track day this helmet has what you need including 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. This helmet is a super value.

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.

I have been shopping for the perfect helmet for a while. I had a very specific list of features that I wanted covered. I am a new rider, and I am very concerned about safety, so I wanted more than just a DOT approved helmet. The Snell M2010 Certification works for me! Also, as a female rider, I didn't want something that was too masculine, but I didn't want butterflies and pink glitter either (there's more pink junk for women riders than any other sport!!! but I digress...) so the Steampunk design is absolutely the coolest thing since sliced bread in my opinion. The helmet fits beautifully, suede-like interior, the pads conformed to my face after one short ride, and it is light enough to not give me a neck ache. The included clear shield is so clear that I had to check to see if I put it down. The airflow is awesome. Even though there are not ports on the sides for eyeglasses, there is still plenty of room for us 4-eyes. :) Oh and the magnetic catch on the strap is sweet. All in all this is the best helmet that I have tried on/used... and I wasn't looking at cheap helmets either, I mean really... how much is your head worth?

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.

Awesome helmet.... Very light, great aerodynamics, great visibility, perfect true to size fit. It does fit a little snug but that was to be expected... So far the best helment I have owned..
Noise could be a little better but overall much better then some of the other brands I have owned

I love this helmet, especially the comfort and the design. The only thing, is that I can wear a medium with any other helmet and it fits perfect, but this one is a little big, doesn't fit as snug as I would like. So I went to a motorsports shop near my house and saw the plain black RS-1 in small, tried that on and it was too small. So maybe its just my head but medium is slightly too big and small is too small. I recommend to try it on before purchasing. Also, the airflow isn't the greatest, when I open all the vents I still don't get too much airflow. Other than that, the helmet feels great and looks great! It is on the pricey side, though. Only reason why I gave a 4/5 on the bang for your buck portion.
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!
