Bell M10 Modular...dont do it!

chef · November 22nd, 2013, 03:29 AM

Well the recent get off helped me decide on a new lid for daily commutes,the last few years using a Nolan N104 with no faults,i loved it.
Recently several Bell models have become available here so at $250 i went with a Bell M10 modular,padding feels nice,fits my head shape well.......4 days into use a tab piece of the locking mechanism broke off WTF!!!The next day the other side wont lock into place & unfortunately there is no gaurantee.
I know i am in Bali & dont imagine i will get any action but a big company such as Bell to not even reply to my calls or e mails to head office is not good customer service.
The last Bell i ever buy.

A really good rule of thumb:

If it's not there, it can't break.

That's why I prefer NOT to load my cars up with options. Simpler is better. Always.

Modular helmets have stuff that can break. A simple full-face does not.
