Bell Revolver EVO HiViz Helmet Bell locked their RD team in the laboratory and didnt let them out until they had taken the Revolver helmet and turned it into a truly class leading modular worthy of the Bell name. When the engineering team finally emerged, the result was the Revolver EVO. With improved features like a redesigned eyeport seal to reduce wind noise, new chin curtain to keep cold air out, and an improved flip down sun shade, the Revolver EVO has truly taken Bell modular helmets to the next level in rider comfort and performance.

I bought the hi-viz (which is, of course, why my review appears here)
Pros:
+ Color. It could use just a touch more green for that true "my eyes are bleeding" hi-viz yellow/green, but it's definitely hi-viz, more instantly apparent than any white helmet.
+ Features. It's modular, has top and chin vents which work well, the fastest and best shield swapping system in the business, an easy-to-use inner sun shield, and magnetic chin strap. The sun shield is improved from the Evo and engages fully and retracts with a nice spring mechanism. For those who want comms there are spaces for that.
+ Fit. Excellent padding, true-to-size fit.
+ Shield/anti-fog. Improved from the first Revolver, the Evo's seal keeps out the rain, even in a complete downpour. The shield refuses to fog whether in cold, fog, or rain; I bought this too late to try snow, but it's clear as a Bell (pun intended) down to the low 30s F.
+ Modular helmet lock. Solid metal with a very secure lock. I don't worry that this helmet will disengage in the event of a disaster (or if it does, that amount of force will make any helmet irrelevant).
Cons:
- Weight. Modular helmets aren't generally light, and this one doesn't try to be.
- Noise. Bell added a chin curtain (good) but the placement of the venturi vents by the back of the ear generates noise, and air that comes in the bottom of the helmet generates noise. This is partially due to the fact that my windshield (2012 Ninja 250) and height (6'0") means air is pushed right up the bottom of my helmet. Tucking better, a sport-touring windscreen, or NO windscreen improves noise vastly. In the meantime I wear good earplugs, which everyone ought to do anyway.
- Protection. No modular will be quite as tough as a regular full-face helmet. This is as well-built as any; that's just the nature of the beast.

HAVE A HONDA NC 700X, and want to buy a BELL REVOLVER EVO RALLY helmet size "M" need to know if it will fit in the helmet compartment ?

I have a Bell Revolver Evo size M. I can fit it and a Joe Rocket textile jacket in a 37 liter compartment (Coocase). Also, the NC700X's compartment is designed specifically to hold a full-face helmet. You won't have any difficulty fitting a size M Revolver Evo in the NC700X, but you may have to orient it correctly (from the looks of the bike I examined, the bottom of the helmet should face the front of the bike).
