Should you buy a BILTWELL GRINGO S helmet? - Maybe not!

I recently purchased a Biltwell Gringo S helmet and wore it on a 21 day / 8000km road trip. I experienced a few issues with the helmet and wanted to share my experience to those of you considering purchasing one. In summary, it's a cool looking ,cheap helmet however it's not really suited to long distance / high speed riding. Thanks for watching Dan & Leisa

Thanks.
Everything is said. I think that the shoei glamster, with a less vintage look, and less cheap is a better choice for long distance. Thanks for the revue.

Yeah I was going to buy the Glamster but chose this one in the end. I think your right👍

[@f.t.w1066]

great report 👍👍👍,, I’ll stick too my bushie skull cap yeah 😉

[@eastcoasttrippers8744]

Good decision I reckon👍

[@RidinEatinExplorin]

Love my one.. definitely check sizing, good review though 👍

[@eastcoasttrippers8744]

Thanks mate. I reckon it depends on the shape of your head etc. They are a cool looking helmet though 👍

[@scotty2746]

You’ll have a headset next . Shoei the go 👍

[@eastcoasttrippers8744]

I was gonna get the Shoei Glamster but ended up with the Biltwell. Leisa wants the headset but not me✌️

What speed does the helmet start to get noisey? I'm riding a Honda Ruckus and looking for a full face helmet, does is make noise under 40 mph?

[@eastcoasttrippers8744]

You’ll probably be fine mate. But you could do better if you look around I guess✌️

I have three shoei , two agv and some open faces , shoei is my pick by far for touring or higher speeds . But I am wondering if you are getting screen buffeting, obviously you don't notice buffeting much when using a open face. Have you tried riding the Biltwell without your screen mounted ?? I have a HD windsplitter I only use in winter, on my RKS and I get some buffeting on all the full face helmets.

[@eastcoasttrippers8744]

Good point. I’ll get 5mm cheek pads and remove the screen. Worth a shot 👍

[@oldsparky14]

@@eastcoasttrippers8744 i don’t like screens for this reason , I only use them in winter or long highway rides . I have a taller one as well but for my height 5.10 but it was worse buffeting , to be honest it is for a taller rider . It is difficult to get a perfect size screen reading all the web content. Can’t understand why HD didn’t put a movable screen like Indian and gold wing on the new models, they must be making to much $$$ on selling different screens to us

[@danny725gracia4]

May I ask the size of helmet if in fact the helmet is a size large what is your selling price if you are willing to sell Thank You Cheers

[@eastcoasttrippers8744]

Hey mate I think it its a large but I want to check out the 5mm cheek pads first. I think it will fit nicely with these and hopefully be OK. If not I'll let ya know👌

I don’t understand you pay over $20.000 and more for your bike and you can’t spend a $1000 on a good helmet for your head safety first people cheers
