In 1967, Bell introduced the first full-face helmet, the Star, after five years of research. It was a golden age of motorcycling, and this new helmet opened a new page in motorcycle helmet history. But the fixed face shield created a very narrow scope of peripheral vision. To address this, Bell released an updated version called the ‘Star 120’ in 1973 that incorporated a lift-up visor. The Bell Bullitt helmet that we know and love today was not designed as a copy of the original Bell Star, but it clearly takes Bell’s full-face helmets from the 1970s as its inspiration. The bulbous, clean, round shell is very close to the original Star helmets, but in all other ways the Bell Bullitt helmet is a totally modern, up-to-date lid that meets the requirements of the modern motorcyclist.
Recently, Bell reintroduced the Moto 3 helmet, perhaps upset by the large number of companies that had merely copied its original design. Today’s Bell Moto 3 helmet is incredibly similar to the original 1970s' model, differing only in concession to the requirements of modern safety standards.
The Bell Bullitt helmet was not designed by Bell Helmets, but rather by a college student, Chad Hodge, who designed the kind of helmet he wanted to ride in as part of his final year degree project. But when Chad first penned his designs, he very much had Bell in mind. In fact, he had gown up wearing helmets like the Motostar when he rode dirt bikes as a kid.
Most of the people we see, we have to admit, have not decided to take up motorcycling because it's the cheapest way of getting to work. Some have decided they can save time by commuting on two wheels, but most have got into up purely as a weekend leisure activity.

We consider the Stadler 4 All Pro to be one of the finest jacket and pant combinations on the market. It's the only suit, in our view, that can go head-to-head with Rukka’s top-of-the-range Nivala. The Stadler is demonstrably superior in some areas; the Rukka in others.
The Rukka Nivala is the best Gore-Tex Pro laminated Rukka suit on the market. It’s infused with stretch throughout, and has drop-liner suit levels of comfort.
