the kbc ffr has been my helmet of choice for a long time because it had the most chin room ever...
after their demise i tried just about every helmet in motoshops on the west coast from san diego ca to ferndale wa...
the 2 that fit my head and have the most chin room are the shark evoline and the gmax gm54s...
after reading reviews for a year or more and after trying these 2 units i decided to go with the gmax gm54s...
scored it at the zilla for 130 $ delivered...
it comes with clear shield... i scored 2 backup shields... a smoke shield and a clear dual lens...
i have about 5000 miles on this helmet... temps from 20s to 100s... weather from vivid sun to torrential rain...
1) this thing vents really well... it has lotts o vents and they work... i can feel the air when i open the vents...
2) the hot days... venting works well...
3) the cold days... chin venting works to keep fog to a minimum...
4) the rainy days... chin venting works to keep fog to a minimum...
5) the cold n rainy days... shield will fog if not cracked open... the dual lens does not fog at all... zero...
6) the chin vent has a little tab when in the up position allows air to flow on the shield plus hols the shield open ever so little for additional airflow...
7) the shields are optically correct...
8) the internal sun visor is optically correct...
9) rain does find its way to the inside of the shields...
10) rain does find its way to the internal sun shield...
11) rain does not find it way to my head though...
12) the light on the back seems foo foo... butts in heavy fog it brings a little more conspicuity to the deal... i have come to like it...
13) the visor ratchets seems robust...
14) the flip-up system seems to be robust...
15) has intercom speaker pockets that are 100% spot on for me...
16) it has broken-in nicely...
this is one magnificent helmet... if you have an enormous snood and are in search of chin room... i would take a close look at the gmax gm54s... its 100% yeeeeeehaaaaaa...
