After wearing the Revolver Evo a little bit just out of the box, it fits perfectly. Not sure how it will continue to fit after breaking in but out of the box, but brand new I couldn't ask for a more true to size and perfect fit. snug without feeling too tight.

I read countless reviews on this thing before finally pulling the trigger. If you're like me and read a million reviews across 10 websites, you've probably noticed that most reviews of this helmet all seem the say the same things, with the occasional reviewer who hates it or says it's cheap or uncomfortable. I'm writing this review to confirm that most of what you've read about the Evo is true. It's indescribably comfortable. Fits me so, so well. It is, however, impossible to put on or remove without first lifting the chin bar. This is a good thing, though. It feels like a really good seal under the chin once closed up. the modular mechanism feels good and has a very positive feel. it doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. several reviews have claimed you can open it too hard and break the stop allowing the chin bar to rotate all the way around. keeping that in mind, I'm being careful opening it.

The face shield is the easiest to install and remove of any helmet ever made. pull two levers and it pops right out in about one second or however long it takes you to pull two levers. to reinstall, put it in the same position it was in when you removed it and snap it right back into place. about 3 seconds.

speaking of the face shield, it's anti-fog... sort of... kind of... not really. I put on right out of the box after it sat on my porch all day freezing. it fogged instantly and completely. later, after warming up, it still fogged at the bottom while closed from breathing. cracking the visor, even while standing still got rid of it.

the drop down sun visor is great. the lever to drop it has a very positive feel. it feels smooth and not cheap. the drop down visor is also described as anti-fog, but I'm not sure on which planet. not earth. the drop down fogs worse then the face shield. a lot worse. I wouldn't even think about it in cold weather. you'd be blind. it's also not very dark. it looks dark from the front like it should do a great job but wearing it tells the real story. it's not strong enough to replace sunglasses. it will be great on a bright day, but direct sunlight will be too much. it feels like light smoke, but RZ has already confirmed it is dark smoke that comes with the helmet. so as it stands, this is as dark as it gets for this helmet as far as the drop down sun shield. good for bailing yourself out in a pinch but for an all day ride in the sun, don't let it be your only shades. a darker shield will still be a worthwhile investment.

Seems very well vented. the chin vent is substantial and the top vents have two settings for either a lot or a little. I'm concerned about the placement of the side exhaust vents right next to the ears. I haven't ridden it yet, but all the noise complaints are likely to be accurate from the placement of those vents alone. The first detent of the shield is just enough to get a rush of cool air and defog the inexplicably described "anti-fog" shield. there are also vents that will direct air right into your face, but not into your eyes. it seems bell thought of everything with this helmet... except the anti-fog treatment. they very clearly forgot that.

field of vision is excellent horizontally. very, very wide left to right. vertically isn't so good. glancing up is good to very good. glancing down is poor to very poor. glancing down to see your gauges might be impossible without moving your whole head. I'm not sure if this is common of all or most helmets but I'm noting it anyway.

I don't have many complaints about this helmet and can definitely live with the ones i do have. I'm definitely keeping it, possibly as my main helmet.

I purchased this helmet about 1.5 years ago and wanted to provide my impressions after spending a considerable amount of time riding with the helmet.

I bought this helmet to replace an Icon Alliance in which I experienced wind buffeting during head checks and an excessive amount of air flowing from underneath the helmet. This is not to knock the Icon, as most of the problems disappeared when I purchased a different motorcycle, with just a slightly different riding position and windshield position.

Firstly, I would like to review what I consider the good points of the helmet.

Value: Excellent. Although I have not tested other modular helmets, for the price you get style, comfort, and features, which will be expounded upon below.

Style: I like the aggressive style of this helmet as compared to some of the other modular helmets I considered. I have had many compliments on the helmet from "squids" that don't wear helmets at all.

Comfort: Overall a very comfortable helmet for my small slightly oval pea shaped head. Ventilation is adequate, especially at speeds above 40 m.p.h., however below that and you experience perspiration on your noggin, although it is not unbearable. Both the chin and chimney vents are easy to operate. I did not experience buffeting at any speed when doing head checks. This is not a light weight helmet by any means, but after a week of riding I did not notice the weight thereof. In my opinion, this helmet is best for someone that rides in the upright or 3/4 position. In the tuck I had to regularly reposition the helmet on my head to get visibility at the upper limits of my periphery. It is at this time, when you are straining to keep your head up, that the weight of the helmet becomes a factor. As to the noise level, I personally do not find it to be excessive. I did not experience significantly higher noise levels with all the vents open. I do not ride with earplugs and have had no ringing in my ears, even after hours of riding. That being said, my wife will swear to you that I am hard of hearing. This helmet could be made quieter if the faceshield sealed securely against the helmet gasket.

Features: The modularity of the helmet is a feature in and of itself. During the cooler months this makes it extremely easy to put the helmet on over sort of hood or balaclava. Stuck in traffic in the unbearable heat of summer - flip the chin guard up and get instant cooling. And for those that like to smoke and ride, just flip it up and you can put that foreign substance in your lungs without interference. It really is the best of both worlds. The drop down internal sun visor is excellent feature. Gone are the days when you struggle to put your sunglasses on after you have your helmet on. Gone are the days when you have to deal with those same sunglasses becoming uncomfortable after riding for awhile. Gone are the days when you forgot those sunglasses and had to ride into a blinding sun. I tried on several other helmets with drop down visors and some did not come down far enough, others would hit the bridge of my nose, at least one felt too close to my eyes. The internal visor in this helmet presented with none of those issues. The lever that controls the internal visor was easy to find and easily manipulated, even with thick gloves. The "magnafusion" strap takes a little getting used to but stays put once it is in position. Lastly, shield changes are astonishingly simplistic and effortless.

Quality: Pictures do not do this helmet justice. I was more than pleased when I first opened the box and saw the helmet in person. The paint and graphics appear to be of good quality and have stood up well over time. The chin guard locks securely in the closed position; I never had any doubts about it opening once it was closed. As to the magnafusion strap, after about a year the glue disintegrated on the little piece of fabric used to keep the magnet in place. My little magnet is gone, lost forever to dark forces of the underworld. I think the process of routing the strap in and out of the D rings over and again is a contributing factor in this. Bell does have a 5 year warranty so getting it fixed should not be a problem. When first got the helmet I noticed that there a small gap at the top between the shield and the helmet. This gap got slightly larger after about 3 months of use. This led to increased wind noise and rain invading the inside of the helmet. You are not getting hit in the eyes, but it is noticeable. A quick crack open of the shield will evacuate all the accumulated water.

Overall I think this is an excellent helmet for the price. You can pay twice as much, but I don't think you will get two times the helmet. Are there better modulars out there? Sure. But for the price, quality, and features of this helmet, I think it deserves serious consideration.

I bought this helmet in Matte Black to replace my cheap Scorpion one. First thing I noticed is how cool it looked especially with the silver grey iridium faceshield I purchased with it. Faceshield very easy to swap. Chin curtain is awesome on cold days! Very comfortable. Good airflow. Feels very well made and all features work stupendous! It even comes with a nice soft Bell helmet sack.

Cons:

My only complaint about the Revolver Evo is that my favorite feature (the magnetic strap button) broke :(. I only had it for a month when it decided to fall off. It wasn't sewn on but rather stuck with adhesives. It could be just a flaw.

I'm sure Revzilla would have replaced it for me but I put it off a couple weeks and in those couple weeks I flipped my R6 :(. Which beat up the helmet, and the bike :'(.

CRASH TEST: it worked :). My head is as good as ever! :)

I would certainly buy another one of these!

I'm a glasses wearer and this spares me the trouble of taking them off before putting on the helmet, and then cramming them through the view hole after; and repeat when taking off the helmet. The flip sun glasses are absolutely great! They do exactly what you expect; you don't have to stop and change when turning direction (into the sun) or when moving from dark to light or riding in and out of shadows. It's an incredible convenience feature and I love it. The "nose shield" is loose, but I live with it. I'd prefer to also have Snell accreditation in addition to DOT, but for the price it is a great value.

This helmet is much quieter than my Bell Apex double cross.
It fits very well but it is heavier than my Apex. No problem seeing all around. I really like the drop down sun visor (I am waiting for the dark smoke because the light smoke for me just isn't dark enough. I have had to take two shields to work everyday (I start at 4am) and now this helmet covers it all without having to change shields everyday. This helmet works great at 29 degrees, I think it has to do with the bottom chin curtain. It also cools the head very well at 80 degrees. The one thing that I do not like is on some gusty crosswinds I get head buffeting which I do not get with the apex. Overall I am very happy with this helmet.

The Revolver evo is a perfect blend of many facets. Price, style, function and fit. It is not as quiet as a solid full face but it is not bad. For $200 you get alot of helmet. The inner shield is a first for me and I love it. Cuts the glare and blocks the wind enough for maximum ventilation when the outer shield is up. I was concerned about mounting room for my Scala Rider G4 intercom but that worked out too. Had to use the glue mount but the position is perfect and does not interfere with the inner shield function. Thanks Bell, and RevZilla for such a great product and service to match.

Just the looks along tell you this will be a serious helmet. I have been riding for 30+ years and have worn most of the better known makes. This was the first helmet I can say I liked from the start. My head size was on the edge of Large and/or Extra Large and I was unsure with out trying the helmet on, but with Revzilla's easy return policy I tried the Extra Large. Trying it on for the first time I thought I might have made a mistake and maybe I needed a larger size, but within a couple of minutes of moving my head around and up and down it just seemed to form to my head and now it is just right. It is firm but not too tight. The faceshield is a snap to change or clean. Air vents are fine, I have had trouble in the past with other helmets in the really hot weather but this one has very good ventulation. The D-ring chin strap took me a while to get used to again as my past few helmets had the buckles. This Bell is lighter than past helmets also. I liked the part of paying with "PayPal" because most everything I buy on line I use "PayPal". The only Con I can come up with as the lower rubber lip that the faceshield rest on when closed, had come loose, but a few drops of Super Glue took care of that. Noise wise, How do you measue wind noise with a bike with little to no faring and windshield? Yes there was some noise but there was with my previous helmet also. I love the look of it, Matt black, simple and functional.

Nice looking, good seal and air flow. Rode to Wisconsin on a Harley and used this helmet when I got tired of the half shell beating at highway speeds. Very happy with it. Other reviews are correct about the inner visor that comes with it...it's not dark enough for sun protection so I also recommend buying a darker one when you buy the helmet. Great value and performance.

Got the white one to match my B/W Kawasaki. Vents well, and range of view is wide. I did recommend this to one of my friends!

These run small as compared to Shoei or Nolan. Looks great. Functionally, it's a poor helmet. Quite loud, even as helmets go. Rattles throughout. Chin curtain prevents the sun shield from deploying unless the helmet is closed. It's like no one ever tried it at the factory. It (curtain) drags the face as the chin bar is closed. Airflow is good. It's such a leaky helmet, it makes little difference whether vents are open or closed. In the rain, you'll take on water, and I don't mean a little. In cool weather, you'll have no way to limit cold air entering the helmet. Runs quite small. I wear XL, and can (and have) worn Large in Shoei and Nolan (though I prefer XL). I can barely force the Revolver on, and it's an XL. If you are looking for an entry-level helmet, and want the modular functionality most long distance riders prefer, this is a good looking helmet, and you might not ride enough (or be spoiled enough) for this helmets' flaws to bother you. But don't confuse this as a bargain version of the high-end modular, such as Nolan, Shoei, or Shuberth. This one simply doesn't compare. This is more a good-looking, modular version, of a Bilt or other entry level helmet. Which might be exactly what you need if you're entering motorcycling, or if you or a loved one want to try a modular helmet for the first time. When my wife started riding with me, it quickly became apparent that she was too claustrophobic to endure a full face helmet. A new Revolver evo got us by until we could get her a better quality helmet. I decided recently, to try one again, to see if they'd made any improvements. The answer was a resounding no. They still look great though.
