I can say my Bern helmet save my life back in 2015 glad I had it on.
👍
Boy I'm glad she talked you into your beautiful helmet
Check out the Xnito helmet! Even better! ua-cam.com/video/c8sRJBa0tc8/v-deo.html
I went with the Abus Hyban 2.0 (back in Apr. '21), but everytime I checked the Rad site they were out of stock. Found it on Amazon for roughly $56 (still at that price basically), compared to the $79 Rad wanted, which didn't include their basic shipping fee of $10, iirc. The Abus helmet is comfortable, and I also bought a thin "skull cap" to wear under it to help prevent helmet hair from the internal padding. I don't ride at night, so have never used the light on the back of it.
I looked at the MIPS features of helmets, and it does slightly increase the cost/pricing of the helmets that have that feature.
All of the accessories on the RAD site is likely at full retail price (no discounts). I bought it because I had nothing else to get with the gift certificates that was given to me. It's not likely I will buy another bicycle with the money as it would never add to up the cost of a second bike. So, it is "buy the accessories, or get nothing"! And, so many items are out of stock! I would have applied the money to more tires as I am likely to wear out another set of tires this coming season, but those are out of stock too! This whole supply chain shortages is killing all of us!
Ever since getting E-bike summer 2021, have been searching for better helmet than what originally purchased. Came across Xnito & Bern. Different models provide NTA 8776/MIPS-rated protection. Only Serious hurdle is $$$$
I wear the Xnito a lot more than the Bern today.
That's what i wear a skateboarders helmet it's not a mips helmet but it has both the ASTM and CPSC safety standards . i got a bigger head this suits me better
The first vented helmet is one I would use for my road and mountain bike. But the Bern helmet looks like it is better used with the Rad Power Bikes. Also, the Bern helmets not only offer good safety, it blends better with the ebikes haha.
Agreed. I think the Bern helmet is better for the speeds I ride with the ebike. One fall at 20+ mph and you'll likely want that better helmet!
Thanks Russ…
Russ,
I have been reading about NTA 8776 certified helmets for Class 3 e bikes. These are better in higher speed crashes. Check out Xnito Old School and the Lazer Urbanize helmets. Most now have NTA and MIPS certs.
Yup! Here's my review of the Xnito Old School Helmet! ua-cam.com/video/c8sRJBa0tc8/v-deo.html
The price for the new helmet not too bad. It could be triple the price and I’m sure there are some of that out there. It looks great on you too.
Thanks. I think it's hard to put a price on safety, right? :)
Russ - Love your videos. I noticed that your link takes you to the 2020 generation of the helmet, which only has 17 reviews on Amazon and rates kind of poorly. The 2019 generation helmet has over 200 reviews and rates much higher. Don’t know what to make of that. Also, to complicate matters, Bern has several other models that seem to have various design tweaks, which may be better options (depending on intended use, head shape, etc.). Finally, and not to be a contrarian, but all of these helmets are “brain buckets”. That may sound safe, but in motorcycle/motor scooter land, where I played until recently, that is a minimal level of protection. If you are going 20-30 mph on your e-bike and have a crash, your modeling days may be over. I had a 25 mph spill on my motor scooter some years back and my 3/4 helmet with full face shield saved me from what would have been a pretty serious head trauma and facial reconstruction outcome (I have the scratched up face shield to remind myself of that and I never pushed the envelope again). I think you need to remind viewers as often as you can that e-bike riding offers significantly more injury risk than the world of casual bicycle riding (which, I suspect, is where most e-bike riders come from). All that said, thanks again for keeping us ever vigilant as we enjoy this wonderful new riding experience.
I moved on to the new Xnito helmet. Check out the recent review of it. ua-cam.com/video/c8sRJBa0tc8/v-deo.html
Thanks for the review Russ, i also need a new helmet. I am curious as to what was your head measurement was to lead you to order a size medium. My measurement was 59 and that
would sit right between the Large and Medium.
I measured 58 cm. I will say, it's a very snug fit, but I think that is good. The only real issue I see is that if I wanted to order a helmet liner for colder riding, I doubt it would fit under the helmet since it is a snug fit even without it. Visit Bern's website and you'll see they do sell a liner that you can get for colder weather riding. I don't know how even a fairly thin one would fit under the helmet with a head size of 58. If you think one day that you might get a liner, you might want to consider the large. Of course that would also mean that the helmet would not be as snug without a liner. Here's a direct link to their "beanie": www.bernhelmets.com/collections/all-season/products/cold-weather-bike-liner
The struggles of being a 59er, what did you go for in the end?
@@mash83 I took the easy choice, still wearing the old helmet!
Nice looking helmet. I’m with you, let’s hope that you never try in out in a spill. And do you think that it will be hotter than your old one? ..Dan
Yes, I had thought about that too. It has less vents in the new helmet (and it's black) so I suppose it will be definitely hotter in the summer months with this new helmet on!
Do the bern helmets have a nat8776 rating?THANKYOU!
I don’t think so. Get the Xnito instead. I have a affiliate link and a discount code for you on my blog page here: russisright.blogspot.com.
I like the BERN helmets. I had one that I paid $120 for and it was my favorite helmet. What I like about BERN is their helmets are not "bulbous" looking. They are sleek. I don't like the look of helmets like Russ's first one. One thing that I've only seen on BERN helmets is the front of the helmet sticks out giving protection to your face. I had a fall a couple of years ago that sent me sliding face first (on concrete) on what would have been my face if not for the BERN helmet! When I gathered myself and looked at the helmet, it was scratched up on the front and a bit over the top! That would have been my nose and probably my chin too. That sold me on BERN. And, imo, they just look cool. My e-bike guy told me I should get a new helmet because the BERN was compromised. I was sorry I listened to him because I still don't have another BERN yet! But I will in the new year. I am wearing a helmet now, but it's not a BERN.
Check out the Xnito helmets too. Rated to 28 mph. Also, if you get into an accident, send them the helmet and they will replace it free! Be sure to click on this link to save $15 off your Xnito Helmet! xnito.com/RUSS
@@RussIsRight Opp, too late, I just ordered my new BERN yesterday. They still have the same model. Thanks Russ.
Hi Russ, what kind of mic do you use when biking?
I have a Shure lavalier mic. It requires 48 volts of phantom power and has its own transformer. It plugs into an external digital recorder and the audio track has to be synchronized to the GoPro's video via computer software.
@@RussIsRight thank you Russ. I'll check that out.
Came across your channel, following Xnito/Bern crumbs-lol. Am searching for helmet that'll be compatible w/my ArmyTek Wizard Pro headlamp coz hate/do Not trust stick-on/tape fasteners. Regarding mikes, ever tried/reviewed DJI wireless mike set-up? As owner of DJI Osmo Action camera(2x), am also in the market for wireless mike system. New sub....
Thanks for subscribing. I have not tried the wireless options since this particular wires one does a good job in sound and also wind noise rejection. Plus, I have so many things to recharge after every ride, it would be just another device to deal with.
By the way, I now mount a 360 camera to my Xnito helmet. The 3M branded double stick tape used to mount GoPro type camera mounts is extremely sticky. I don’t worry one bit that it will dismount off the helmet. It is very very strong. I doubt I can remove it in fact!
Looks like Swat Helmet
It goes with my "all black-colored theme"... black clothes, black bike, black helmet... :) Well, ok, I do wear a yellow safety vest...
Wear a motorcycle helmet. 👍
My wife says that too! 😊
