HJC DS-X1 (XF-21-510-571) Solid Helmet (Silver, X-Small)
- Typical quality from HJC. Can't knock anything in regards to paint and interior materials. - excellent value for the money.
- Very comfortable. Awesome looking.
- Overall I'm excited and happy, the price, styling,fit, visibility and airflow are great... look forward to riding in the hot FL summer with extra airflow.
- Overall its a great value for money helmet offering good protection and comfort which you would only expect in more expensive helmets.
- This helmet is an outstanding value. My street helmet is an HJC so I decided to give this a try for my dual sport.
Bell MX-9 Adventure MIPS Off-Road Motorcycle Helmet
- Great for dual sport. Really easy to remove the faceshield, which is nice for cleaning/replacing.
- While it may not be have some of the adjustments and top level safety standards that higher end hemets have (closeable vents, quick adjustments for visor, etc), it does everything I want in a helmet.
- Exceeding my expectations in every way, lighter and more comfortable with a lens that just wont fog!
- Best helmet I’ve owned. Very comfortable interior and bad ass exterior!

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
HJC DS-X1 (XF-21-510-571) Solid Helmet (Silver, X-Small)
- The helmet fits perfectly and is very comfortable, credit goes to the fabric used in the cheek pads.
- The sizing is very accurate too. The double D buckle is well designed and quite easy to strap on the helmet even with a pair of gloves.
- The fit is the same as most HJC helmets.
- Nice helmet, fits good, a little snug on the face. Looks good and accepts intercom well.
- Downside is ventilation. Also, I wish it was snell certified.
Bell MX-9 Adventure MIPS Off-Road Motorcycle Helmet
- Best helmet I’ve owned. Very comfortable interior and bad ass exterior!
- Size chart was accurate.
- Size chart was accurate. And helmet itself is lightweight enough and very comfortable.
- I measured and checked the size chart, ordered a large and it fit perfectly. Great helmet with the option to remove the visor if you end up riding more on the road.

What customers say about "Features"
HJC DS-X1 (XF-21-510-571) Solid Helmet (Silver, X-Small)
- The visor is adjustable o believe 10 degrees,which is a nice feature.
- Vents are easy to use with gloves on. I do have a few small complaints beveled shield makes weird water droplet effect at certain angles, almost distorts things .
- The helmet offers a wide viewing angle, ideal for some cross country riding.
- The helmet has good airflow, the visor is well designed so it doesnt catch a lot of wind unless you are looking at the clouds, and it is comfortable.
- This helmet doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles, but gets the job done!
Bell MX-9 Adventure MIPS Off-Road Motorcycle Helmet
- Nice being able to remove the visor for more street riding so it doesn't pull your head around too much.
- I don’t think you can go wrong with this helmet. It is lightweight, has a huge field of view, the padding and MIPS protection are stellar, and has decent ventilation.
- It comes with a clear and tinted visor. Also of top importance, it looks amazing!
- Peak has two adjustment points for a pefect setting, and i also got the transitions lens so day or night its perfect!
- Helmet fits great, and is very comfortable. It’s also great at high speeds, stays very stable. But after about 6 months of owning the helmet the orange color has completely faded to almost white. Not very impressed by that.
- The vent in front is close-able. This means it is possible for you to get wet when it rains through the top vents.
