I think this one might give you a little more protection.....

Ordered one today.


This may be the last of this color in the country.

I just bought another Icon Alliance SS. I went out looking for a new helmet to replace my old Alliance that I broke. After trying on a bunch, I finally found a new SS on the shelf, and when I put it on my head, it was like coming home. It's just the most comfortable thing I've ever put on my head.

Why is there two different lines running up the 'flip up' front part? Most modulars I've seen and had,have only the one line that divides the chin/ear bar that moves up?

That whole side plate comes off, and can be replace with this side plate (that comes with it) if you want to rock the 3/4 helmet.

Ok, where are the links, I need to look into a large!!!! That is sweet. I loved the Schubreth that Rubberdown bought, but this is much more affordable, and two helmets in one.

MotoLiberty.com just got a Large Black one in stock.

It's one of the few left in the country. (If you are in the USA)

I'm not 100% sure the side-plates come with it... I read it on Caberg's website, but nowhere else.
I'll let you know for sure next week when mine comes in!

...Forgot to place in my last post, Suburban HD in Thiensville, Wisconsin carries them in stock. Only a few miles north of metro Milwaukee.

I got mine at recreational leisure near Detroit. They had enough in stock to grab a silver XXL for me.

Got mine today!










Fit is perfect! The sun visor doesn't come close to my eye glasses. And the chin bar isn't near touching my chin like some have complained about.
It will take a little while to get used to the line across the bottom of the sun visor.

I think I'd want one that didn't have all that writing on the visor. Seems like that would make it hard to see.

You're the third person to tell me that... But first one on this forum!

Is there room for headset speakers inside. I purchased a Nolan N102 with prewired JM speakers, but the helmet doesn't fit me well, so I am looking for an alternative. The HJC I have has more padding than the Nolan an is a better fit with speakers but the Caberg with the visor & 3/4 set up looks more appealing.

The padding is pretty snug over my ears. I think you'd want to shave it a bit to fit speakers in there.

I use in the ear speakers, and I love the snug padding, as it holds the speakers in my ears nicely.

And I take it back, this picture:

Is a different helmet.

The modular helmet that I got DOES convert into a 3/4, but it's not exactly that one. The side pieces come off and the chin bar gets removed, then the same side pieces go right back on.
