This helmet coming in around that $500 price point and it’s the latest iteration within the Belle Starr family. This helmet has a pano vision face shield which means it transitions from clear to a dark smoke, it’s like having two shields in one. You also get the MIPS technology that’s designed for additional impact protection, I’m going to touch on those features a little later.

The first thing I want to touch on is the construction of the helmet. This helmet has a tri matrix shell, it consists of aramid fiberglass as well as carbon fiber and is very strong keeping the helmet nice and lightweight at 3 pounds 11 ounces in a size medium.

It’s DOT certified and you also get that Snell certification as well, so if you want to take this helmet to your local track it is certified for that too.

This helmet is available in sizes extra small to two XL comes in a few different graphic options as well as a few solids. For reference, my head measurers at 22 and a half inches around the circumference, and I typically wear a size medium across the board.

The medium fits me true to size but I did want to notate that it’s more of a race fit, it’s a bit more aggressive so it’s going to feel more snug in the cheeks as well as the forehead. That’s something that’s going to relax it’s going to break in with regular use.

The internal shape is more of an intermediate oval, it’s a bit more elongated front to back then it is side to side. You’re going to see it looks a bit more rounded or a bit longer I should say with the neck curtain but that’s designed to help cut down on some of that wind noise.
