Bell Moto 9 Flex (specific) and for comparo Moto 9 as well.

Anyone using these helmets? I want a fit conversation, I'm figuring the fit shape should be consistent between the Moto 9 Flex and the Moto 9.
I like everything I read about it, but have no idea of fit.
weight is good, my Airoh is @1100 grams (game changer/no fatigue light!) this new Bell is listed as @1450g

I just got a Bell Moto 9 Carbon. They run smaller than the Arai VX-Pro 3 and 4, that I've been wearing. I wear a Large Arai and had to go to X-Large. I asked Rich Lafferty about sizing, as he had made the same switch. He went from Medium Arai to Large Bell.

Moto 9 may not be Airoh light, but is lighter than my Arai and is better ventilated. I'm no longer fighting with sweat in my goggles and that's awesome!

Hard for me not to wear an Arai, as they are an awesome company and product, but a Bell was my first helmet 47 years ago. Even my wife, who I've known for 43 and been married to for 40 years said.... " Oh, back wearing a Bell!"

Norm that is the same helmet I ware Tim at Motorcycle Super store helped me out I have never ever in all my riding life ever road a bike with anything but a Bell Helmet PS When you take a picture you are to show Blue Side out

Ok John, I will!

I like my UFO because of weight.... Arai needs to update its design, its heavy but very comfortable.... let me know what you think Robert

I'm interested in the moto 9 flex too. Currently have a moto 9 and older airoh stelt. The airoh is lighter, but the bell is more comfortable and goggles fit better, not as comfortable as a shoei or arai though.
My bell came a little tight. Had to order thinner cheek pads

I'm gonna have to bite the bulllet and release funds for a more expensive, lighter helmet. If I was just a week-end rider, I could continue with the Bells and AGVs I have now maybe but riding so much I'm afraid with the neck and back pain I experience once I past the ~4hr mark on about every ride, I'm afraid I'm doing damage now that will show up later in the 5-10 yrs ... Plus I do some track play and my landing are nothing to write home about ...

I had an opportunity to check out a Vemar helmet. Very light weight. Seemed well made

I tried a Moto9 recently but it was too round for my head. AGV AX8 size small fits my head well, cheeks are a little tight, lightest helmet I've had, pretty good vents. Unfortunately, for the US market it's made in China.
The only other I've found so far in the $250-350 range that fits my head out of the box is a JT ALS-02 I picked up on a whim. It fits me like my old fav Simpsons, snug and plush all the way down to the jawline, now made in Korea, seems to be very nice quality, good ventilation. The JT is still old-school and doesn't have the neck/collarbone bumper that's common now.
Good enough for me, for now. If I raced more often/seriously I'd step up to top of the line.

I crushed two HJC helmets last year, one ice racing and one one asphalt motard racing. Spend the money on the best helmet money can buy and avoid what I went thru.

10 dollar head 10 dollar helmet

I recent that. I think. I'll get back to you. LOL.

Dont like the China thing throw you.... they are not the best innovators but they are great copiers..... most helmets nowadays are made in china....

yes but ALL good helmets are made elsewhere.

Vemar is also on my short list, thanks for reminding me.

Oh, the one that has the grill, from a '48 Packard.... Tom Webb likes his Vemar!

Bell and Troy Lee Designs, are good helmets and made in China. I resisted buying a helmet, not made in a First World Country, for multiple reasons. I really like that Arai, is a family business, helmets are handmade in a small factory and they give back a good bit to the sport. I like that Bell, is an American company, based in California, but I guess it's unrealistic to think production could be in the US.

A difficult decision, but I like the Bell....

Handmade does not automatically equal better but I do like Arai.... I went to LS2 factory and was amazed at how they were made.... awesome to see....

I really like my UFO and Airoh mostly because of weight buy but also flow air great.... would like to try 6D.... hard to argue with Shoei but all their styles are old .....

I dont mind a Bell now that they are different from the Bicycle company....
