Review on πŸ”’ Bell ClickRelease Light Smoke Shield, Fits Star, RS-1, Vortex, Qualifier, and Revo Helmets - Universal Size by John Roby

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great deal, Pinlock insert included

I've wanted a pinlock system on my helmet for a long time, ever since I saw how well it worked on a friend's helmet. I have a Bell Revolver Evo helmet. Since the model is old and, as far as I know, no longer in production, it is difficult to find accessories for it. When I found this offer at Revain I was happy. However, due to the vague description I wasn't sure if it was just a visor or a visor AND a pinlock insert. Also, the main image in the ad doesn't look like a proper Bell Click Release helmet shield. But I took the risk and ordered it. When I opened the box I was happy to see that it was indeed the right visor, including the visor and insert. That's a lot considering the clear screen alone costs as much as this pinlock screen and insert combined. Haven't used it on my helmet yet but I have no doubt it will work great as will most pinlock systems. Update: I've ridden with this sign a few times. The shield is great and the pinlock insert is great. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, preventing the screen from fogging up. It doesn't distort my vision at all. However, I had to deduct a star. When the visor is raised from the down position, the pinlock insert catches at the top of my helmet's face vent, making it difficult to open. I have to either force it open or lift the modular part of my helmet first to raise the shield. If the designers had moved the position of the insert down even a fraction of an inch, this would not have happened. But overall it's still a lot.
