If you look at NASCAR or open wheel, Bell seems to be on a lot of heads. Know they do a ton of testing.

Also, more money does not always mean a better helmet... get what you pay for to some degree, but you can go overboard.

Make sure what ever you get fits you correct. Good helmet fit will be snug. IF we ever really need it, will be worth it! Different models and especially brand to brand, there are some real differences in fit and feel. Years ago, when racing dirt bikes a lot (young and single...), I used several types. Had a friend that owned a bike shop, and got some good deals, and went thru a bunch of them. Always had to try them on, could not just order and assume.

The 2010 stuff just got released last month, if I read it right. Probably hard to get for a little while. Will create some sales soon I guess for the 2005 labeled stuff.
