RS-1 I was going to get a Star but after so e research the RS-1 fits my needs better

Very cool so what made you decide that model? I got a icon airmada now was thinking about getting another one and putting a tinted visor on it

The Bell Star is designed more for a tucked/racing position as it is a race helmet and the RS-1 is designed to compromise between a tucked and less aggressive/more upright position so it's better for street while still fitting in for track duty. The RS-1 is a little lighter and also it's a bit more quiet. Both interiors are one of the plushest out there. I've really only run top of the line helmets from Arai (Quantum F and RX-7) and Shoei (RF-1000 and X-Eleven) and IMO Bell beats them both.

What made you go with the SMH-10 over the new version - or over a Cardo Scala Rider 9?

A couple factors. The new 20s isn't out yet and IMO doesn't offer enough improvement to justify the cost. I currently have a Scala Q2 Pro that I've used for 2 years and I'm not terribly impressed with Scala's performance and features. Everyone that I've seen that has switched from Scala to Sena has been very happy. I think Sena offers more for your money and has a greater quality over Scala.
Lastly I was able to work out a deal on the dual pack ($30-40 cheaper then anyone has them for) by doing a bulk purchase of them.

I *was* waiting for the SMH-20 to come out, or if Cardo will ever fricking release the SHO-1 (assholes) in the US... But I may just pull the trigger on a SMH-10 instead. This is just for my wife and I to talk on two different bikes.

You said you did a bulk purchase -- I am looking for 2, have any for sale?

Yeah Cardo, sorry I always call them Scala. I do. I'll shoot you a PM.

Did you buy it online? Or do you know of a local place that might carry them? I want to try one on and see how it fits

I bought online from Motorcycle Superstore. They are closing out last years RS-1 models and they can be had for around $200. Fay Myers carries Bell but they don't carry the RS-1. They do have the Star which is fairly similar in sizing, I would say just expect the RS-1 to be slightly tighter/more snug.
