This is the proper way to do a comparison review. No opinions without proof, well prepared, clear and concise. Thank you. This is saving people money.
Simple, low profile and very clear review right to the point without any unnecessary distractions which is what all we need. Just ordered a Daytona today. Thanks for the great review.
Thanks for that, I've been trying to decide between these two and you've really helped.
Bought a Daytona because of this review...thx
Cheers, very useful. I was about to buy the Bell, but now I'll be looking into a Daytona. You've saved me £60 :)
Thanks for the review on both helmets i didn't know witch helmets to buy now i know the Daytona is best for the buck thanks to your review.
I bought the Daytona. Cheap and much better than anything else on the market including the $400 hats. Well done thanks.
Thank you for this.. great real world pointers :)
thanks great review and very informative. Putting the helmets on let me see how it would look which is really helpful. Pictures tell you nothing and many helmets make you look like a spaceman
Very helpful thanks.
Nice review MrS... long time since my last Bell.. but I could pull the strap until it hit the buckles and then tip it off.. but you're dead right..that tight around your ears drives you mad after a 100 miles or so...pleasure to get it off in the end. Thanks for the tip I was looking at the Bell..
GREAT review, Im going to buy the daytona, looks COOL man!
My orange striped Daytona is awesome after 13 months! Love it! FYI, you do need it to be slightly tight when new though. It takes a good month of use to really fit proper on your head. I have a big head, and it looks great on me - no more bobble heads like the Bell ones!!!

Is this true with Daytonas?That when you buy you need to order one size more than your size in others brands?I mean, my size is large 58-60, and i have to order XL in daytonas, is this true?

Daytona helmet is fantastic ive just bought me one
In the UK? Here's my top picks for retro wear, look cool in the summer on your bike! www.motorcyclemerchandise.co.uk Thanks for watching.
Great video guy thanks. I don't think anyone with motorcycle salt will have problem with the straps. Can you tell me how the size of the Daytona compares to the DMD Vintage helmet? Thanks Mate!
I connect the strap in the buckle before I place the Bell helmet on my head. The Daytona helmet is a much better looking, I'm getting one now.
These helmets are both based on an oval head shape so this review is only valid if you happen to have an oval head. This is a common problem among all reviewers. They never account for the head shape fit that the manufacturer specializes in, and they do specialize. I've yet to find a manufacturer that makes multiple head shapes. I tried the Bell and the Daytona this week but ended up with a Bilt, because it fit.
Hi mate , are u in Uk ? I’m looking to buy a dayatona but can’t find one for £69 anywhere ? Where did you buy yours from ? Thanks
Do you know if i have to buy one size extra in daytonas from my normal size?My size in Arai,Shoei,Nolan and others is Large, buying daytonas i will need XL?Also in daytonas the Large is 57-59 and to the others brands Large is 58-60.
Awesome review, dude, exactly the type of comparison I was looking for. The only additional thing I wish you had mentioned was the size comparison between them both; did you wear same size for both helmets? I mean, if you wear L for the Bell would you wear also L for the Daytona?

Thanks a lot for the info! Greatly appreciated.
The Daytona has three shell sizes whereas the Bell has 5. I just bought the Daytona though in a large. Do you know what shell size the large gets? The middle or upper size?
I bought the daytona, imo is the best 3/4 helmet
the Daytona can use with bell's bubble shields, isnt it???
Good review man. Both lids are looking good on you, though I'd lose the DOT sticker on the Daytona as it ain't legal in the UK.
I must admit they both seem like good helmets. But I wear, for now (although I look like a jetson), a Premier Jet vintage. Why? Because the quick release system is so fast & effective. Plus the internal visa, saves hassle with sun glasses & goggles all the time. Nice informative video though.
best looking bell is actually a old model name 500 tx
What size you wear in Daytona bro?
The bell don't look that bad Is the Daytona fibreglass ? You could easily shorten the straps on both of them Did you do other helmet videos ?
hi, please help me, i want a daytona low profile 3/4. my exsactly measure head is 22" or 56 cm and my head is oval so can you help me? thank you

Hi, a medium helmet is 56 to 57cm that's the same as the one in the vid, here is a link from ebay but don't know how long the link will last, www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Low-Profile-Matt-Black-Bobber-open-face-biker-novelty-helmet-freebies-/231184722074?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Helmets&var=&hash=item35d3aee89a Hope that helps, they ship worldwide so you should be ok and looks like the price has gone down on them since I bought my one.

MrSandpit123 what is your head size? my size head is 56 cm or 22"inch. thank you
u failed to put the strap ahaha
The tag that you keep complaining about getting tangled in the strap when you pull the strap to take it off .... well that’s a pull tab ... if you pull that tab it loosens the double d rings and releases the strap to help remove the helmet ..... just thought you should know .
MATE YOU WANT LOW PROFILE THAN YOU WONT GO WRONG WITH A DAVIDA 91 OR 92 SIT LOW SMALLER OUTER SHELL THAN THE BELL AND DAYTONA IF YOU WANT SMALLER STILL GET A TT&CO 500TX NOT LEGAL BUT ULTRA COOL !
Helmets are suppose to be a snug fit BTW, Is all about safety not looks.. As far as the straps are concern, that's called coordination and competence in my opinion, BELL is a far superior helmet over the cheap version even though the cheap version may look better.. I've got both and I can tell you that I would feel safer in the BELL In an accident over that none compliant helmet.. Just me...
Bad visor snaps on the Daytona, keeps popping off
Daytona 👌 lower profile on the melon. The bell looks way to thick...
cheers, it was good to see the size difference of the so called "low profile" open face helmets
Daytona will shatter like a egg shell..your BRAINS all over the street.... GET THE BELL
Bell custom
Of course the Daytona looks better. When your not concerned about having to comply with any sort of safety standard, you can make your helmet look as slim and low profile as you want. Might as well ride with a bandanna tied around your head.
@MrSandpit123

Does a bandanna have DOT?
And there is a reason the bell cost more .... it hand laid fiberglass ... where as the Daytona is injection molded plastic .... you get what you pay for .... and the bell passes a higher safety rating.... just sayin

@@MrSandpit123 I think he's talking about the Bell having DOT & ECE certs. The Daytona is only DOT approved. Here's a link www.bellhelmets.com/powersports/helmets/street/custom-500-616 BTW: Are both helmets used here the same size? I saw another comparison and the Bell was huge compared to the Daytona.

I think a review of safety ratings is in order. Safety ratings are market driven. Daytona, largely a NA brand, needs to only meet DOT. Bell is a worldwide brand and needs to meet DOT & ECE as this is the most common helmet certification internationally, required by over 50 countries worldwide. Meeting ECE does not mean it is a better or safer helmet, it only means it meets that markets requirements. TBF Bell submitted this same helmet that passed DOT, unmodified, for ECE and it passed. So there's an argument there that the standards aren't worlds apart. These safety ratings are a market and liability driven exercise as they are about safety, probably moreso. That Bell meets ECE does not mean it is a safer helmet than the Daytona. The only way to prove the Daytona isn't as safe as the Bell is to submit it to ECE testing and IF it fails then you could make this assertion. Having the ECE designation only means it can be sold and used legally in ECE countries. silodrome.com/snell-vs-dot-vs-ece-r22-05-helmet-standards-throwdown/
Dump them both get a Skull Crush you won't be sorry. $139
The Daytona looks like a pile of crap compared to the Bell, its much better produced and for the sake of £60 as of today, I'd take the Bell anytime

No, I have seen them when in the states and unless the UK version has increased in quality and finish, then in my opinion they are not representative of great quality unlike the Bell.

Aesthetics are an opinion, this review was factual. The Bell rating isn't higher than the Daytona's so arguing better production doesn't mean better protection. In 5 yrs when you replace either I doubt there will be 60 pounds worth in it in terms of which looks better or functions better.
