You can purchase this helmet with or without a shield.....same helmet but cheaper w/o shield.Fabulous helmet with great air flo and very comfortable. I think it was originally designed for the track. I use it for training as do many of my friends. I love it.

Yes it's the same without the magnetic shield. I use it for road cycling, but I am sure it can be you for mountian bikes.

yes, they are almost identical. the one with the shield has a few slight mounting point on it for the shild, but its pretty much the same from what i could tell

i don't think it's a CE RATED motorcycle armor, since i did not see any approved tags on the armor. this armor is the cheapest you can buy for decent quality. get a size larger than the usual size you wear since the sizing chart is not true. i use this armor with the EVS neck brace and the FX-39 helmet and the FOX Launch Knee/Shin Pad when i ride my electric mountain bike that can go as fast as 70 Km/h. any type of protection that you wear while riding will reduce the injuries if ever you get into a bike crash. hope that info helped you. sincerely, Steve.

I use the SMH10 which uses similar ear speakers and mic. My bike is a softail standard with windshield. A lot of wind noise is more the issue then the loud pipes. My best results are obtained with a helmet that has a face shield. With that setup all functions were significantly better then usable. With the face shield up on the helmet then wind noise became the issue at hwy speeds.

My helmet is Black, you should fine out it on Giro web site. Aeon road helmet is good choice, I have both black and whit one. I do like it!

You can't see the difference in the design. The insect shield is a repellant/treatment applied to the material.

I haven't worn my other Giro helmet since I got this one for $119. I wore it today in 32 degrees with a thin skull cap. Was awesome. I think it is a great lightweight helmet. The looks are not for everyone. The shield is not for everyone, and I wear my sunglasses sometimes instead of the shield. I tend to wear the shield when it is getting dark soon because it's easy to snap back on upside down and have it out of the way.

They claim that it is water resistant. That being said, I have ridden through very heavy monsoon rains and winds with it and have had no issues. It also doesn't seem to loosen up on its own and fall off the helmet like many others do.

Yes, I would suggest the miller helmet over a cheap one. And yes, I own both a miller and a cheap one from HF.

Oh I need to comment on Sauer. I am not sure he is talking about the same helmet. Ours is great constuction and I would highly recommmend it.

It comes with a head strap, but it wouldn't fit over my bike helmet. It's meant for wearing it directly on your head. Here is a link for the a helmet mount MagicShine Helmet Mount Kit

I believe helmets designed for overhead have a glass viewer or viewer protectios. This is plastic and sparks will quickly pit and destroy the viewer.

The look will be ok depending on your personal style if you care about that stuff. I would say that the helmet is a bit more heavy than the standard bicycle helmet. it's about 2 to 3 pounds, give or take. Good protection. The strap is not that easy to put on and take off. I don't know how fast you go on your bike but i really like that it doesn't rise up with the wind and i've gone as fast as 80mph.

I'm intrigued by the idea of a net over my bike helmet. When I slow going up hills or at intersections in the spring, bugs come through the slots of my helmet and I can't hit or scratch them as they enjoy themselves biting my head. Stopping and removing the helmet takes time and lets more bugs catch up. I think I'll try it and see if the air is too restricted. Great brainstorm! Thanks!

I ride a Kawasaki Ninja and wear a full face helmet. I've had people call me on the phone while I was riding at speeds of 75-80 MPH and they couldn't tell I was on the bike. I could hear them clearly.

Hi Dan, I personally use the BTS myself when cycling and they fit spectacularly. I use a Giro Atmos helmet and also wear Oakley glasses. The glasses themselves barely touch the band of the headphone but it still fits like a glove. The helmet (Giro Atmos in particular) has great clearance for these - however, some helmets that cover the ear might not. Hope this helps!

This is a head set assembly, it allows the the front wheel a way to rotate. This headset has sealed bearings for smooth movement, I'm not certain of the true application ( mountain/road bike) but it has worked well in my experience on my mountain bike, but I don't ride single track often so it's held fine. Hope this helps
