Despite not being able to afford it, this shit looks fucking amazing.
Agreeable
my issue with all of these smart helmets is simple, after 5 years the materials in them degrade and you gotta replace it if you want your dome safe. so what every 5 years you have to fork over the equivalent of a craigslist dirt bike to get a replacement? no thanks. bc you know they will have a new model by then and you won't be able to get the older one cheaper.
+SiberiaN I hear what you're saying, but I think the cost of this tech will come down. Look at the price of a DVD player 15 years ago compared to today.
Reconsnow2 is basically the same thing but goes in snowboard goggles... 400 bucks and you can mod it into any helmet if you got some basic skittles
or you just get the recon glasses instead of the goggles
Awesome to hear that it was just as cool to use on the road! Can't wait to try this thing out!
Helmet looks fire. Except for the 1500 doll hair price tag.
+bakerXderek sup br0
+bakerXderek CHEAAAAAAAAAAAH
+bakerXderek the helmet looks… REEEEEEEEEALL GOOD 👌
+bakerXderek Pre-orders were like $1700 in the first couple months of development.
If I had the funds I'd definitely buy one of these. *looks at my cheap BiLT helmet* If only I had the funds....
8:34 Upper right corner he made a funny.
I didn't even notice. Too upset by my cheap helmetXD
Shoei rf1200, gt air, and Arai Corsair are all great bot cheap helmets. I still think there would be battery issues with this helmet and you may have to even order or send in the helmet for a replacement. It's not a far fetched idea.
The trch is cool but reevu makes a helmet where you can see behind you without any batteries and to be honest my rf1200 beats almost everything out there for street riding. It would take a lot more than a hud to make me want it.
Field of view
Field of view in full tuck
How quiet/loud it is
Wind resistance (my rf1200 has non)
Weight
Snell Approved
Airflow
Pad comfort but also ability to stay snug after break in
Pinlock?
Price... I use to work in the motorcycle industry and it can be hard to get people to even soend $400 on a helmet let alone $1,500. Price would have to be adjusted especially with this helmet not able to meet snell approval.
+Zalonka I mean I may be considering the $400. I have a BiLT that I bought for $90ish? It's definitely not the best around.
Insert joke hear haha
+Zalonka It's an early adopter price. There's nothing else like this on the market, so I'd expect the price to be high right now. I'm sure we'll see other companies following suit which will drive the price down to a more reasonable level pretty quickly.
the price tag is $1500.00 it might be nice but no helmet is worth that much that's crazy
Agreed
+Brian Keith agreed
+Brian Keith That's exactly what I've been saying all along. What happens when you need to use it for what a helmet is MEANT for? I've been watching the Nuviz Ride:Hud for that reason. Too bad they have been SUPER slow on any kind of news regarding production.
A friend of mine had ordered the AGV Pista GP vr46 edition for $1400 and I had the pleasure of using it for a while because it didn't fit him. Anyway; I can say that helmet was awesome and would definitely understand that a helmet with so much r&d would demand such a high price
+FormedAndFunctioned Ya Im not disputing the fact that it's an awesome helmet and if I had 1500 just laying around I would buy it, just to say I have it. but because we all know the average person dosent really need this or have the cash for it ...it's just an outrageous price. I've never heard of this brand before today.
the visor is badass \o/
Yes it is
what about 6foot Honda opinion love his video vlog too cheers buddy
Your First Impression video is more informative and realistic than other FULL reviews on RUclips. That being said, I'm definitely going to make my decision based on your FULL review of the Skully AR-1.
Keep up the awesome videos!
Really pumped about your full review for the Skully. I love that fact your not willing to do a review properly until you have had the helmet for a few weeks and you give your honest opinion without bias. I think it shows character
Question... Do the helmets electronics work with the Sena? I plug my own headphones into my Sena for music/gps/phone etc. Would that be an issue? Like... Say you were using a Sena for music/gps/phone could you still use the GPS feature on the Skully?
Hi
+SUB. DELINQUENT Thats an interesting situation. Not sure how I could test that with the phone having to be bluetooth connected to both devices but I can certainly try. You're basically wanting the skully to perform GPS and rear camera while the Sena handles phone calls and music?
+SUB. DELINQUENT Hey Sub D! I watch your videos and I'm a big fan!! I purchased this helmet on their crowd funding campaign 2 years ago. I have not yet received my helmet and as far as I know nobody else has either. I have spent $1700 on a helmet that doesn't exist yet. They keep pushing back the delivery date every few months. Skully does not yet have a deliverable product and the original backers are wondering if they ever will... I'll post a review if this myth of a helmet ever becomes a reality.
+rossfitness damn that sucks did it come yet?
still waiting.....
love to finally see this thing! :D
Chase,
what a refreshing change to a review video. I think you got to the core of the issues, questions, and concerns a potential buyer would need to know about this product. To be straight, I am mostly annoyed by these types of vids, but enjoyed yours and subscribed. I am definitely going to get one! I look forward to more info on your channel.
I remember when you had us go to Skully's social media pages and had us ask them to get you a Skully, glad to see you finally have your hands on this product!
Love the edit *science and magic*
I actually got an email from Skully about your review. Damn dude! Nice job.
I'll be honest, I haven't clicked one of your videos in a few months. Your production quality has gone through the roof! Very nice! Looking forward to the full review. I'm not sure $1500 worth of tech in a helmet is worth it, but I thought the same about the Scala Q3 until I bought it. Now I can't ride without it.
Glad to see these things making their way into the wild. I've been looking into it for a bit now and I hadn't seen much recent info. Thanks for the impressions, Chase!
Would you buy the Skully at the $1,500 price point? Would you recommend others to buy the first gen model? Is it SNELL and DOT rated at that cost?
He's waiting for the review to go over these things I think
I was stoked until I heard "$1500"
flosserelli I can make this and cheaper
This is great to see! Just in time for riding season as well! Looking forward to your review. If this helmet stays awesome, it is going to make riding in high traffic areas great as well with you be able to focus on what is in front of you while being able to monitor around you and keeping your eyes where they need to be.
You can also look at the tac that comes stock with the bike to see how fast you are going.. " MIND BLOWN "
how fast does the visor turn clear/dark/clear? can you show that in your full review pls
+Aquila Arroyo i have seen it at work, it is about as fast as transitions lenses that you see people wear with their prescription glasses. Sine the ditched the lcd tinting it does not transition ass fast but that also means the helmet wont "blink" on you when you go between buildings and trees on a bright day.
I think I'd invest that $1500 into a full exhaust system XD is it snell approved for the racetrack?
Chase, so cool of you to do the first impression vid. You know we'd be asking you on the daily until that full review comes out, but this should hold us over until then. :)
You definitely got my attention with this first impressions review. I have been interested in this helmet and one of two others that have similar promises of expanded/rear view. I look forward to your further reviews. I did subscribe so I can see more about it. Thanks and keep up the good work.
No pinlock on it ? Don't you get lot of fog ?
Cant wait to see your full review ..... :D .... and hope ya get to give one away :D ......... I want :D
Joe joe ma mainnn chick fil a
Thanks for the review chase I've been waiting for more info on the AR-1. First of i'm all for this lid the only minor thing that worries me is that riders may end up depending on that rear view camera and getting complacent but that is no fault of the AR-1 I guess. Looking forward to more info bud.
thanks for an awesome first impressions video, i've been wondering for a while to see how this helmet will pan out especially after seeing the delays in release. As far as your cable problem you could potentially use a" Adjustable Clamp Black, Wire, Adhesive Backed" to help give it a home. Would love to own one sometime, love the video and the helmet!
wow.. a $1500 helmet without DD ring lock? I know this helmet wasn't inteded for racing purpose, but still.. a micro lock on such an expensive helmet looks ridiculous
Shape of it looks pretty bad ass while riding
Good job Chase as always! I hope you get to do a give away because that's probably my only chance of ever owning one. That price tag is a little hard to swallow with 3 little ones at home! I love the look and the concept behind it. Definetly looking forward to the big review.
Awesome first impressions video... better than a lot of "full reviews" out there on other products you see.
That USB dongle needs to be integrated into the shell with a waterproof rubber plug.
Hey Chase if you get the time test it in the rain
Thanks for the mini heads up review. Can't wait for the full review.
always quality videos, gotta love chase's honesty
If they added an integrated go pro/helm cam. Then it would be worth it.
+CRooKeDCoP that would be sweet!!
@chaseontwowheels hey, have you gotten the mohawk camera thing to review yet?
+tacos731 Not yet but very soon.
thanks!
+chaseontwowheels i want a skully but that price tag is a bit high lmfao would be nice though i like how the windscreen changes in daylight and night
+Anthony Cruz me too
+tacos731 They just announced ANOTHER delay. WTF???
Thanks for your time bro. Always enjoy your videos Chase. Ride Safe Man!!!
Cool video man. Excited to see the full review. Keep up the great work.
I honestly wish they would have created a retro-fit to any helmet instead of creating a whole new helmet
+downshift83 I thought so as well man. I will say after riding with a system that one single company had their hands on I think it creates a much more designed experience over a company just making some thing to tac onto a regular helmet.
+downshift83 true story...and they need to mke a motovlog edition with gopro connections and shiet
+downshift83 I feel like it would have been really difficult to do that without seriously compromising the display based on visors of different shapes & levels of optical correctness. It'd be nice to be able to save some money buying just a retrofit kit, but I'd be willing to bet that Skully would've gone that route & saved years of R&D on helmet design if it was feasible.
+downshift83 I agree. That would be an awesome product :D ....... Probably cheaper as well :D
+downshift83 same! :P
"It will suck that thing Dry"-chaseontwowheels 2016
Would LOVE to try one of these out! Thanks for making a video on this.
Fantastic review man! Once it drops in price I will be picking it up.
Funny thing is we are the 1st generation to have this thus the guinea pigs. Its only gonna get better and cheaper with a little time.
+ghostanime84 ikr the first cell phone was a briefcase and only rich assholes could afford it, now people without running water have em lmao
$1500 it better not be a cheap helmet... It better be a Shoei or Arai or AGV with all that tech stuff added.
Great first look into the helmet I have been curious on the battery life. Also the visor that is badass I need a visor that can help with the sunlight. I had eye surgery and it failed on my so bright sun kills my eyes and night driving is very bad with the bright headlights. Thanks for the info chase
Looks promising Chase!
Thanks for the awesome and honest 1st impressions review!
$1500 though. "cheap helmet" Id rather just turn around to see whats behind me
People are lazy haha
CHASE WITHOUT A HELMET?? HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN GONE??
there are lots of more reviews he made without helmet tho..
Chase! I can say this is one of your most professional videos! loved it man. Thumbs up, Favorite, and a share!
Sounds like a badass helment! Having that HUD would be amazing for riding in a city. Looking forward to your full review of it.
It's still a crappy polycarbonate shell. Bounce it once and it's $1500 down the tubes.
+Grizz Axxemann bounce any helmet once and its done.
***** Not an Arai.You can bounce one of those and it won't be any worse for wear, save for the paint. Polycarbonate cracks. Fiberglass doesn't. Sure, you have to replace either one after a crash, but at least you don't blow $1500 if the helmet gets dropped or falls off something. Skully should have used better shell material. Polycarbonate is junk.
Grizz Axxemann Out of the dozens of helmets I have dropped or seen dropped I have NEVER seen a poly helmet crack, but as Skully uses carbonfibre reinforced polycarbonate your argument is invalid. It's also invalidated by the fact that the shell material is actually the least important factor in helmet safety. They use carbonfibre in high end helmets because it ways less, not because its a better material. And if we're really getting into the details the actual makeup of the poly or carbon fibre will have an immense impact on it's durability, there are high end polycarbonates and low end glass and carbon fibre materials. In fact, most carbon fibre materials are stiffer and more likely to fracture than poly which makes them a poorer choice for safety because the absorb less impact force.
Little that he knows, the helmet company went bankruptcy..
that's expensive.. but sooo awesome. look forward to your full review. and thank you for not being one of those people who do a review about something a day after getting it. this is one of the reasons you are among my favorite motovlogger.
My Shoei RF-1200 has a Transitions photo-chromatic visor with pinlock insert and its nice. No fogging and no switching shields it costs about $150.00 bucks extra to get the visor.
I'll NEVER buy a helmet that costs $1,500! Thanks BUT no thanks.
If this helmet was made of carbon like the AGV Pista GP($1400) then I honestly would
Thanks for the insight! waiting for the full review!
This is hands down the best review video you've put out to date. Don't think I'll be buying one because money.... But it was nice to actually see a full run down of the helmet.
Nice impressions video...I look forward to the full review!
Chin skirts are a MUST for a helmet for me at this point. Not just for cold day, but they do wonders for minimizing turbulence inside the helmet.
Already in the process of buying one. Thank you for the first look brother.
Definite +1 for the photochromatic visor. I have one on my Bell helmet and absolutely love it. I wear glasses when i ride because I still haven't figured out how to make my eye not shake too much when putting contacts in. The visor is a lifesaver. I can ride east in the morning, west in the afternoon, and at night, with the same visor.
Hey Chase, I know this is an old video, but FYI the app draining your phone battery is not a software issue. Anytime you're using the GPS on your phone, it drains the battery regardless of the app.
The rear camera and navigation / phone sounds really useful ! Definitely the future of helmet architecture.
great freakn review dude thanx! you have literally sold me on the helmet. that whole 320 degree view is worth its weight in gold and I'm assuming you can talk and hear clearly thru the speakers? do u have to pull over in order to hear the other person speaking?
and wat about weight how balanced does it feel?
Hey Chase,
very honest and likeable video about your first impressions.
looking forward to the full review. and now i have to go find a photo chromatic visor for my helmet... :)
best wishes from germany
Very excited about this, hoping Skully are going to send one to me also for review!
I've been following them ever since they talked about making those helmets, amazing product , really useful. Wish they were alittle cheaper 😭 and thanks for the quick "review" chase 👍🏼
Great first impressions. The ads for this thing see all over my fb lol. Glad to see its pretty good. Still gonna have to wait for the price to drop.
great video chase! and that part on the back with all the tech in it, the way it is designed should actually make the helmet more areodinamic.
I have glasses that have "transition lenses" , which is the same as the visor. The glass has tech that when uv rays hit them, it absorbs the light and makes it into electrical energy that sends a pulse through the visor. This isn't enough to shock someone, but the crystal it is made of is similar to a computer screen. Love your content and keep it up chase!
Very very very sick video bro and I high appreciate you doing these kinds of videos bro it's just awesome how you can care less about getting paid for doing these types of videos and care more about your supporters and let us know what we are getting into before getting the actual product...amazing ride safe bro👌🏽 thanks
Keen to see the actual review mate. It is an interesting concept. Im sure the 2nd and 3rd generations will be much, much better.
great video I was looking to buy the skully but I would wait for version 2 if there was one.
I did mention to skully what would have been a cool idea was to get a front facing camera as well not to look through but for you as a biker to have a dash camera but bike version and also to record some of the beautiful scenery when your riding.
Love your channel man! Really good quality content! Love the intro and the end peace! Any tips on how to create a good intro video? What software to use? Thank you Sir!
Great review. Ive been watching this helmet for awhile and wondering how it performs.
Im subscribing now for full review. One thing I hesitate buying this helmet is quality of the HUD. I hope you can show us how it looks like when you actually see it.
this is the review that i have been waiting for., thank you for your honesty. this is my first time seeing your reviews, ive been going back n forth between the purchase, im a year round rider in seattle, and i do love the chin shield on my helmets, i have a few questions that hopefully can be answered after a longer time of riding with it....
with the hud display on and gps/music going, how long does the helmet battery last? also how is the music/phone quality at highway speed? thanks
awesome review of the Skully Smart Helmet +chaseontwowheels, I think the helmet is awesome but a little pricey, I especially like the fact that they have a visor that changes color with light, and the rear view cam, awesome piece of tech !!!
Thanks, Chase! You're the best, I'm looking into purchasing this helmet.
Great review so far, man. Thank you for doing it(although I'm sure nobody had to twist your arm). This is probably the closest someone like me will get to one of those, lol.
Nicely done. Thanks for taking the time!!
i think it looks awesome and if the giveaway happens id love to get it but either way i will probably get one in the next year or two just cause i feel like the safety of being able to see directly behind you is the best concept for a helmet. and i think the speed is a good addition i hate looking down sometimes.
Great initial first impression. Really like that you try to give an honest, unbiased review. I think the bottom line for me is, this helmet, if it works well can help save lives and make riding safer. To me, I think that's absolutely worth $1500. However, if it has issues with the tech breaking, camera problems, voice command issues, etc, it could really spoil the helmet and cause it to be a huge bust. At that price point, you need to have an AMAZING and FLAWLESS experience. So they really need to get things right the first time around.
+Grant SKULLY Hey Grant, that's great to know. So if something goes wrong in the helmet would that mean we would be shipping them back to you guys for fixing? Also, I know with smart phones, batteries are always an issue with longevity. A helmet at that price point would be something I'd want to hold onto for a long time. Are the batteries easily replaceable or have they been tested as far as how long they last etc? And finally, I ride a GSXR 600 and have a growing youtube channel. I'd love to get my hands on one of these to do a review/initial impressions myself. Feel free to shoot me an email if that's something that could happen in the future. JaretCampisi@gmail.com
Can't wait for the full review!
Loved the video man. Just a quick question, would you advise someone that wears specs to purchase the helmet? Reason being might the little do-hickey be too close and knock against the frame or the glass of the specs.
Is the visor anti-fog? Pin lock? What happens when a component fails like a speaker? Turn in whole helmet for warranty or remove component yourself? What if battery leaks, explodes or catches fire? Is it snell rated? Does it have rider to rider comms? Is it compatible with other brands like snea?
It seems like you have a very positive view and experience with the helmet already. So based on that I'd say you think its worth the money if you can afford it. My thing is, with these base reviews coming out how long until icon finds a way to come out with a similar style and produces it for $1000. It will be interesting to see what comes of tech helmets in the next year. Glad you got one to test and are reviewing because you seem to have a great way of doing so.
I've been wanting one of those for so damn long! to finally see it in action
My speed and strength has the same quick release. I could never go back to a double d ring. Its so nice to easily operate it with gloves on (like when I realize I forgot to cinch it down before taking off).
I'm looking forward seeing the full review. Seems that they are on to something after all those delays. Did you preorder or is the helmet a "review sample"?
is that large wing on the back going to create a flip point on the helmet in the event of a slide? seems like the head may get jerked into some interesting directions sliding in that thing but I really want to try one out for everyday riding... can you cover the power options? is it rechargeable? how long does it last on a charge? all that stuff...
I'd wait for the gen II or III to see what they improve upon hopefully cooler tech and lower price.
Great review Chase!!! Well presented!!!
Great review chase.
try wearing some sunglasses and see how it works I know it's got auto dimm but I can't wear contacts during spring I'm worried about getting glasses on through it I asked skully a few months ago but nothing came out of it glad to see u doing a review keep up the good work man
Great video pre-review, very impressed.
Excellent video! You sealed the deal for me getting a red bike( going for r3) and will get the helmet after its out for a while. Thanks for the info
are u a beginner and is that going to be your first motorcycle??
I was but now i will borrow a friends 91 nighthawk 250 then move to triumph street twin
Good luck with that, the company has gone down under and has stolen thousands of dollars from its customers
i have a photocromathic visor on my bell and thats the only reason i have not changed helmet brands when getting a new helmet, transition technology is just awesome
