So I think i'm gonna buy this lid. Comes in two versions-
Carbon with a dark visor at £670-https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/264046
or standard with a visor for £300-http://www.helmetcity.co.uk/bell-star-solid-matt-black-sale-visor-offer/
Is the extra cost of the Carbon one really worth the cost although it wins the style battle?
depends on what you mean by worth it , i have a carbon BELL m5X and its just over a kg , i notice a massive difference in weight , and strain on my neck , would i pay double the price possibly not but a full carbon helmet is worth a bit extra
If you like it then it's worth it.
Would I pay that for a Carbon helmet. No
If you want a carbon helmet I'd look at another one

All but the same helmet that you was after alot cheaper...
the matt black is awesom! Im tempted to buy that myself seeing as my current hemlet is around 10 years old...
And the benefit of a carbon is helmet is what compared to another similar priced lid ?
A little weight loss. I find that as you move and the wind hits. The weight is never and issue with any lid i have had
They all have to pass standards , the interior feel and fit in my opinion is the main thing after " make " .
We tend to stick to what suits us.
I do not have a Shoe or Arai head. Cost me a few pounds to find that out.
