Opinion on this helmet - G-Max GM54S

[marriedman]

I told myself that I was going to treat myself to a new helmet this year. A good one. Not the basic intro model I bought before I knew anything about helmets. I was looking at Icons (too small) HJC and Speed & Strength. I discounted G-Max as I own one and it is so basic and "cheap". However I found this one and it really surprised me:

It looks great, it has a ton of features that I want and some I didn't even know about. And the price is out of this world! Please, someone out there has any real world experience with this helmet?

I wish someone would reply I am looking at one exactly like it just a different color scheme all I've found was a couple of people rated it on motorcycle superstore, but they were hit and miss is seemed like. Would like to get some real info on how it fit and how much noise it makes the one I have now whistles something fierce.

I don't have any experience with that helmet but I will suggest that you look into AFX. My brother and I both have AFX helmets and I am very impressed by the build quality for the price you pay.

I'll also suggest a helmet with a quick release, the one on my AFX FX39 is awesome!

My first helmet was also a G-Max. Besides it being too big for me it always felt very cheap...

I currently have a Gmax as well. Feels cheap to me as well. I tried this one on and it definitely does not feel cheap. But I was hoping that someone had riding experience with it.

Like I said originally, I was going to treat myself to a "good" helmet. This one just surprised me. I have found it for $126 on Amazon. The only thing holding me back is I can't find a well fleshed out review.

You can get a Bell Revolver, which is very similar, for a little less money.  It's a great helmet, albeit a bit heavy.  I have only had it for two weeks, but I love it thus far.  I am currently waiting on new cheek pads (getting bigger ones (45mm as opposed to the 35 that came with it)... the size that came with it are just a bit too loose) before writing an actual review on here, but for the money it's wonderful.

Plus, the hi-viz yellow is REALLY an eye catcher.

Unfortunately, Bell does not make a helmet that fits me. I have a huge noggin.

I went ahead and bought this helmet. Since no one has any information on this helmet, I will try and give it a thorough run through and report back once I get it. It should be here within 10 days according to Amazon.

My helmet came in! I wanted to leave a review in case anyone does a search for this helmet and wants to know more.
