  • In this video, I dive deep into the ILM MF509 motorcycle helmet, providing an unboxing and a detailed review of its positives and negatives. I discuss various aspects such as sizing, ventilation, road noise, features, and overall fit and finish. After extensive testing while riding my Harley Davidson Road Glide with the Khrome Werks M8 exhaust sound, I share insights on the helmet's performance during touring and general use.
    What You'll Learn:
    - *Sizing:* A thorough assessment of the helmet's fit and how to choose the right size for optimal comfort.
    - *Ventilation:* An evaluation of the helmet's airflow system and its effectiveness in keeping you cool.
    - *Road Noise:* Insights into the noise levels experienced while riding, especially with a powerful exhaust system.
    - *Features:* An overview of the key features that the ILM MF509 offers, including any unique aspects that set it apart.
    - *Fit and Finish:* A look at the quality of materials and craftsmanship of the helmet.
    My Comparative Experience:
    I also compare the ILM MF509 with other helmets I've owned and used extensively, such as:
    - *HJC*
    - *Shoei*
    - *Speed and Strength*
    - *Schuberth*
    By drawing comparisons, I provide a comprehensive perspective on whether the ILM MF509 stands up to these well-known brands.
    Key Questions Addressed:
    - Is the ILM MF509 one of the best motorcycle helmets of 2024?
    - Is it just another cheap Amazon knock-off of the Ruroc EOX helmet?
    - Would I still prefer my Shoei 1200 or RF-SR motorcycle helmet over the ILM MF509?
    Join me in this detailed review to find out if the ILM MF509 is the right helmet for you. Whether you're a seasoned rider or new to the motorcycle world, my insights will help you make an informed decision.

    Has a cool design and I like the graphics. It definitely seems like a ruroc designer imposter. Lack of airflow is a non starter for sure! The bad seal is not good either, on top of noise if you get caught in the rain this bad boy is leaking like you said.

    • @BryTheBiker

      It definitely has a Ruroc style to it. Maybe like Ruroc it will evolve with 2.0?

    I bought a Schubert C5 and am extremely disappointed with it. Very noisy and the visor doesn’t seal. At the price point it was extremely disappointing. The fit is better than the Shoei for my head, but it is just plain noisy.

    Solid review Bry!!! Very nice looking helmet but, I see your concerns. As someone who wears a Biltwell Lanesplitter I like to root for the underdog. A couple of tweaks and they have a contender. Noise does not bother me but ventilation is a must!

      I run the Scorpion R1 Air. The helmet fits well and is comfortable. But it's loud and I think the venting sucks. My previous helmet was the Shoei RF-1000, which I thought was a much better helmet. The only reason I went with the Scorpion over the Shoei RF-1400 was the price, and I wish I would have just spent the extra money.
