Fuel Silver XX Large Full Face Helmet is aerodynamically designed with a pivoting chin bar and face shield system




  • This shell is aerodynamically designed with a pivoting chin bar and face shield system that lifts up to permit easy conversation with passenger or other riders or just to take a break at the next traffic light.
  • The triple vented system includes a chin bar and forehead vents that pull air into the helmet, where it circulates air through the lining and is directed over and around your head by molded channels.
  • One-touch, fingertip adjustable top diffuser helps pull air into the helmet and out through the two rear exhaust vents while. The dual-stage chin-bar venting system minimizes face shield fog ups.
  • The upper deflector directs air up and through the inside front of the chin bar at the same time the molded-in deflector channels your breath down and away from face shield. Meets DOT Standards
  • This thermoplastic shell features a fully removable, hypoallergenic, microfiber, interior for easy cleaning and features an ultra-fast, quick release shield system to easily change out your shield from clear to tinted or smoke with ease

Fuel Gloss Black X Full Face Helmet One-touch, fingertip adjustable top diffuser helps pull air into the helmet


This helmet fits my head properly, and it all works correctly. I've been trying on helmets at all my local motorsports dealerships so I knew what size to ultimately buy. All of the ones I tried on looked pretty decent and fit well, without being too large on the outside. Wearing this helmet feels a bit strange, the padding is all kinda shifted up in the helmet so it kinda feels short, but it's not, its supposed to be like that. After determining that it fit correctly, I walked around and looked in a mirror. This thing is HUGE! I thought it felt pretty big when I pulled it out of the box, but I didn't realize it was the width of my shoulders! I'm a pretty big guy too!

I guess it's alright for the price, but beware smaller people, this helmet is going to dwarf you!

I can't comment on how well it works in a crash, because I haven't crashed, and I never plan to... but I knocked it a star for being gigantic, otherwise, its a pretty decent helmet with a few neat features for the price.
