Well, Forcite has the MK1S. Though it doesn't have a rear camera or transition lens. When it comes to cameras, they are power hogs. The helmet goes from 8+ hours of run time with the audio system only but if you run the camera, that time drops to something like 2 hours. A second camera would drop that time even further. What's worse is that the quality of the image still doesn't hold up compared to a mounted quality Go Pro. With bikes getting so advanced now, technologically advanced helmets should plug into the bike via a usb cable.
That might take a while. That much tech would add a lot of weight to the helmet. On top of that the battery life would be awful. The Mach v commander has like an 8 hour battery life if you added a front and rear camera that would probably be cut in half. If not more.
I have a video of my Shoei with all this on it except rear camera. I don't think this is that hard for companies to do. Ruroc has the Shockwave that should hold all the tech/batteries needed to add a front and rear camera at the top of the helmet most for insurance purposes doesn't have to be go pro quality@@copingcarot1384
That was a very honest review. I've actually been looking at these for a little while now. I may get one and do my own review on my Channel as well. Subscribed to your channel too. Great Video!
I have yet to find a "smart" helmet worth the price. I mean, I have a helmet with a built in Bluetooth audio device that is pretty solid and cost me 300 CAD. - Modular - Inner Retractable Sun Visor - Bluetooth Audio that can connect to other helmets, local radio, or phone. Lasts anywhere from 8 to 10 hours. - Multiple air vents that circulate air well. The drawback is that the helmet is noisy. Anywhere up to 80km/h isn't too bad but once you get up over 100 km/h it gets to a the point where you can barely hear the audio at max volume and after 3 or so hours, expect to have the ears ringing like having got home from a concert. Supposedly a lot of the noise is due to the open bottom so I plan to get a neck guard/cushion. Meanwhile that helmet is over double the price and is USD. Convert that to CAD and it's more than triple the price. With only two feature that are better. - Higher quality audio system - Inflatable ear cushions
Does it have a sun shield? How well does the airflow do in rain? Those air vents (as you described) seem like they'd let rain into the helmet. Good review! Ride safe!
That's a neat-looking helmet ... sounds like you could smoke a cigar in there and the venturis would drag the smoke out... future test? I dunno about that visor though - blocks a gopro mount at the chin!
@@IronBornRider Oh man, I already do that. Knowing me, I'd hit the button for the Cardo, and then blabber into the ether for 20 minutes, recording nothing.
Is this film on the back of the clear shield .l have removed the yellow on the back of my tinted but I have the same thing on it it’s like little scratches
I purchased the unit. I'm not satisfied. I find it to be cold and even up to 34 degree weather. It is extremely noisy over 40 miles per hour and the button controls are difficult with gloves
I ride a cruiser and I despise the rider aesthetic. I wear Alpinestars, sportbike helmets. I'm not going to lose my jaw in a crash to look "old". Also, if you're gonna attract younger riders to cruisers, you don't want them to think they have to look like they haven't showered. No offense!
@mattwuk well, like you said it's aesthetic prejudice, judgement. I ain't mad at ya. I'm just not gonna wear dangly bits and stirrups just because I ride a Harley. It doesn't require a uniform.
You have other motorcycles 🏍️ helmets 🪖 you like them well if this new helmet 🪖 your taking about an you don’t l8ke it return or make your own if it irritates your skin an beard 🧔♂️

I’ll pin it
@@IronBornRider thank you sir!
I won't be buying a new helmet until someone makes one with built in front and rear camera, speakers, mic and transitions lens

Forcite is nice but they are not there yet, maybe future helmets, I have a vid of my helmet mods if interested in a watch@@joec2078

Not a lot of people in the market going to buy for those. Supply and demand.
Living in Florida myself, i definitely need some vents so it doeant get too hot.
Yeah I like a good amount of airflow in the summer
I got this helmet for under 430$ luckily my moms a parts manager at a dealership i absolutely love it!
That’s a steal
Better ventilation, front/rear camera, USB-C PD, HUD, and a T Visor is my wishlist.
I used to live less than a mile from them. Awesome to see more awesome brands home based from my home base 🤙 good review
Very cool! Thanks for watching
Price keeps going up. Started at $520 then $650, and now $699
Dang
The intro price they realized was way too low for the features included.
Demand probably going up too
Oh so close but not close enough. I hope that they take your comments into consideration for their next version.
They’ve been very responsive and great to work with, so we’ll see.
1:57 it is missing the second lens / sun glasses 😎

Thanks for the support! The helmets been working great in the winter, highly recommended
the helmet has some similar design elements to a couple iterations of the samus's helmet from Metroid

509 is owned by Polaris. Their products are great. If it isnt they warranty stuff or replace it in a heartbeat in my experience.
Did not know they were owned by Polaris. They’ve been solid to work with so far

It doesn’t have a sun shield unfortunately, and I haven’t been able to test it in the rain which is a good point. Thanks for watching!
How good is the sound? I want a quiet helmet with good noise isolatino and sound.
It’s not a very quiet helmet imo. But it does have a good sound system (cardo)
That's a neat-looking helmet ... sounds like you could smoke a cigar in there and the venturis would drag the smoke out... future test?
I dunno about that visor though - blocks a gopro mount at the chin!
Yeah you’d have to put a GoPro on the side of the helmet 😅
@@IronBornRider Oh man, I already do that. Knowing me, I'd hit the button for the Cardo, and then blabber into the ether for 20 minutes, recording nothing.
The gloves at 1:27 are yours? May I ask what brand they are?
They’re joe rocket gloves
The dream that I will never ever get😢
dude i am trying to buy this in europe & just can't. I hope they release it here it. Greece (btw)
Yeah hope you’re able to get your hands on one
Did you notice any glare on the shield my seems distorted?
There’s a plastic film that you have to remove. It’s hard to see but it’s there. I went through the same thing

Sorry to hear that. You might want to reach out to them to see if they can offer a refund
Not for me as a cruiser guy, yes it's down to aesthetic prejudice and I'm ok with that.
Right on. Thanks for watching!

@Audfile you do you mate, I wear good gear but won't judge others, we ride our own ride 👊

@@Audfile exactly 👊
$650? GYAT
Does it have a pinlock and sunvisor? Ortherwise all these things are just gimmicks imo.
It does not

Couldn't even finish the vid. 6 ads in less than 4 minutes.
still not worth $700
