I was on a Honda demo day and the lead rider had this helmet. It may even be him in the photo? Anyways, looked really cool and looks like it has a really wide range of vision and good ventilation. Does anyone know what helmet this is? It didn't have any visible logos on it.

Looks like a Simpson (like the Stig wears). Hard to tell without seeing the whole shape.

It does look like a Simpson Bandit.

I would agree but there's a company called Biltwell that sells a similar model as well as a recreation of the Bell Star II if anyone is interested. Nope, I'm not affiliated with them.....

the Biltwell has vents in front center. the Simpson Bandit does not. The picture in the original post is dark, but it doesn't look like it has the vents in front center

I wasn't suggesting it was a Biltwell I was just passing a link to their helmets because one of their models is a similar design to the Bandit and someone else might be interested as I am.

It depends on the model of Simpson Helmet.
This one has vents in the front and sides.

10-4 . And I am a fan of the style as well. Although I'm thinking of removing the visor and using goggles with it.

The lane splitter is a very cool option. Retailers in Canada haven't got stock or prices yet, the big Toronto bike show is this weekend, so I'm hoping I'll see one and get to try it on and see in person. Hardly anyone carries the Simpson line in Canada. I prefer to order from Canadian retailers because Canada First! Just kidding, I like to avoid tariffs and customs and paying double tax and extra shipping if I can.
