Had the earlier 171 model and it’s been a fantastic helmet and very pleased with it and just ordered this new model you’ve featured but certainly worth the hefty price tag.
I'm on my 2nd RS-V171 (gloss black and a matt blue) and love them, big improvement on the 151 forerunner. Can get a bit noisy at motorway speeds depending on what bike you have but since i started wearing Ear Peace ear plugs that's been eliminated. Well impressed especially for the money
My friend has just bought the new RSV191 which came with no instructions no charge cable and the transmission was bloody awful with un readable audio even although he used the earlier RSV171 without any problems
I like the flip up helmets & find the HJC helmets fit me best .Never seen the Viper helmets before .I like the plain colours & that metal catch lug looks substantial .I don’t have any electric gizmos such as microphones .intercom ,sat nav ,blue teeth or others attached to my helmets & bikes . These are more suited to your gadget riders,but look reasonable spec for the price point .Rev 👍
Matches the LXS colours nicely I think 🤔 seems a good bit of kit, I’m not really a fan of helmets where the chin guard can raise but for those who use them I think this could be a quality option 👍 great video mate, looking forward to the ride test 🤘
This seems like a bargain! Really interested to hear your take on the quality of the helmet after use, and most importantly how good the Bluetooth system is when riding.
I’ve had one since 2018, Ok helmet however the buckle will rust and the padding will shrink making helmet lose ! Padding ok when new. Bluetooth connects but takes its time. You can’t lift flip the front with visor open. Sun visor not that clear difficult to clean. Hard to shut ! Water does get in and helmet generally very noisy. Bulky and can be hard to turn your head as rear of helmet very low. I’ve never been able to call Siri and get it to respond. I paid £179. I needed a helmet and this was recommended to. Would I buy another No.
Ive tried everything and for some reason when the bike is running it will not respond to Hey Google ?It's all linked up fine to my S22 and bluetooth does work when I try it stationary weather speaking to the phone or through the viper helmet.But soon as I start the bike up and hold the button for 2 seconds untill I hear the beep NOTHING! In fact, strangely Bixby then pops up?Desperate for help on this 😣
I bought one of these helmets, How the hell do you turn it off? From what i can gather hold the multifunction button for longer than five seconds. That just puts it pairing mode?
The worst bluetooth ever I had. Bixby is fighting with Google. Tried many times to operate by voice and failed. I prefer old version from 151... BTW this helmet is very noisy if you driving more than 50mph. I had 151 and have 2 years 171 and I'm regretting to buy Viper. I'm going to buy different company helmet

More to come
Hard to hear at speed.
tell the rep to send one this way, I'll happily do a review on it! Or a RSV345 in red, that seems like a better idea 😁
😁😀

Thanks for your opinion,
Personally I use an ls2 valiant with packtalk
Good to get someone to give an opinion after owning one
I like the colourway, it would be interesting to see how loud it is while riding.
Still got second review to do
Depends on if you have a screw on the bike as can create more noise
@@EastsussexbikerWas she screaming?😉
That's a stonking price for the spec. I take it that it's not the type you can ride with the front lift up lid left open?
you can ride with the front up but the wind resistance would be a bit
@@RevBombUK thanks, I know some you can ride like that legally but many you can't ride legally with the front up 🍻👍
Can you play music through the helmet?
Yes works well
Looks a good unit So is the BT headset a part of the helmet as well?
All built in for the price
@@RevBombUK Not bad at all I like it and cool review man thumbs up to ya
That looks beautiful mate where can I get 1
We stock them or website link is at the end of the video or Google viper helmets

Might need to go into your Google setting and relearn your voice with the helmet on
Background noise can affect the speech to a phone
How do you skip a song?
Check the manual or email viper

I think its a double tap but cant be sure have to check the manual
@@RevBombUK I found out that you have to press and hold both buttons at the same time, the person in the video and manual is wrong, try it.
All sorted Thanks guys. It is pressing both buttons at once, for five seconds. Thanks again 🏍
@@Almond001I was having the exact same issue. Thankfully I saw this comment which saved me a lot of time. So cheers 👍
where is the charging port on the helmet?
Just under the rotary dial
Lift the padding at the left rear bottom of the helmet
How do I charge it???
Has a usb c connector
Nice review but I think you need a 2nd opinion. I'm a large BTW 😆
Lol 😆

Thanks for the comment
Still never did the second road review
Coming soon, I have a lot of content still to edit and upload
Does this have a BS Kite mark?
It has an approved EC label
Do you find the flip face helmets better for intercom use rb?
most of the time yes mate
Who's melanie?🙂
