Pretty cool, now you can actually get one that fits your head shape. Also, for those still waiting on Shoei to come out with a transitions shield, you now have Bell as an option. Snell 2015 too. I'm really liking the way things are going technology wise with custom fit, from Bell to Kawasaki's Vulcan S "Ergo Fit," etc. I'm curious what the cost for this amounts to.

It's interesting because I've always kinda liked Bell helmets, but they never really fit my head right when I tried them on. I noticed that it's the liner, and not the shell, that is molded to your head. I guess that makes more sense than a custom shell, but I wonder if it would still have that astronaut helmet look that all the other Bell helmets seem to have.

Also at $450 for the head scan I'm not exactly running out to buy one.

I got scanned for the helmet last year. What's cool is that they ask you if you want a street or race helmet. Based on the answer, they will adjust the vertical tilt.

I'm thinking about picking one up for track days. Road Rider had a special during their brain day last year or something like that. It came out to approx $900 OTD with the transition lens, I think.

There's a review on BARF somewhere that I could probably dig up.
