Motorcycle Helmet Reviews by Internal Shape
http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcyc...met-shapes.htm
"Following is a list of all of the motorcycle helmets reviewed on webBikeWorld.com grouped by shape. Over the past 10 years, we have developed a subjective classification system for helmet internal shapes. Finding the correct shape to match your head is crucial for both safety and comfort. The so-called "best" helmet in the world is worthless if it doesn't fit, and sometimes a less expensive helmet will fit better than a helmet costing several hundred dollars. Finding the "perfect" fit is sometimes extremely difficult."

This is great. I'm going to make a pdf out of it so I can review it whenever.
It was interesting to find out that my RF1100 is a neutral shape. I wouldn't have thought that. Going to try on some different helmets next year (replacement year for my RF1100) to see if another shape would fit me even better than neutral or if neutral is perfect for me. |

Bell is doing something new, it is not cheap. You can have your head scanned (right now just at events) and they will make a helmet for your head. It is about $900.00 and if you are supposed to change every 5yrs its only $180 a year (cost of a track day).

^I'd rather buy an icon airmada that fits my head perfectly (though slightly tight it's better than slightly loose and it's only a bit tight bc I'm growing my hair out a bit) for <$300 and use the other 600 for track days

I had my head scanned for the custom Bell helmet and they can adjust the eye port position up or down for racing or street which is something I hadn't thought of. Of course, he recommended one of each.
