Really like this helmet. I ride a 2011 CBR600RR. The decals on the helmet match my bike and jacket. Really like the matte black base paint on it. Fits perfectly as described, and feels like it's a really solid helmet. It also gets pretty descent air flow that actually feels like it's working.

Befote this helmet I had a Scorpion EXO-700. I wanted a quieter helmet that when I had the vents closed I wouldn't hear whistling. I have heard great things from fellow riders with Shoei helmets so I wanted to look at a qwest. I was turned to this model because I wanted a matte black which does not leave figure prints. Also it is quiet for my communication device. The features on this helmet are great and too many to list in this review.
I was a large in my scorpion helmet and that size held true wih this helmet, I just found this helmet also fit nicer and felt nicer.
I have gotten many comments on the look because it is unlike anything out there. You can not go wrong wih this helmet.

This is a beautiful helmet. I absolutely love the unique look. It's also quieter and easier to use than my old RF-1000, although I preferred the older style of chin strap (snap-on to the o-ring) to the current button style. A+

Answer: 
Although the pictures may appear to give this helmet an orangish hue (mostly due to lighting of the photograph, varying computer screen color settings, etc.), the actual accent color is red.

Looking at the Shoei Qwest and the Bell RS-1. Do they fit the same and are they similar in quality?

Answers

Answer: 
The Bell RS-1 has a narrower fit than the Qwest and is a little more of an aggressively designed helmet intended for sport riding. Both are well-built helmets but Shoei, in general, will be of better quality than Bell. If you have any other or more specific questions, please e-mail us at cs@revzilla.com or call us at 877-792-9455.

Answer: 
Mike,
I can't speak to the fit of the Bell helmets but in reviewing it quickly the Bell you are looking at was designed more for a sport rider which means the vents and aerodynamics work better for a more forward riding position. The Qwest is designed for a more upright riding position. This matters for optimal ventilation etc.
