Hi guys. Any talk on the street when the new moto -10 is coming out. Reps at Bell wouldn't budge with my phone inquiries. Thanks!

I’d expect something when SX kicks off. All the pro’s have them already

If they didn't do all Seven, Fasthouse, or Slayco colabs I'd have a new moto 9 by now. Hoping the 10 has some JUST Bell helmets. If I want to rep another brand on my helmet I will add some stickers to it.

Looking forward to the Moto-10s though. The rumors have been in the first quarter after being pushed back from COVID. We shall see.

Definitely hear what you're saying but they have plenty of their own styles/non colabs.. also not sure where you heard they got pushed back as they've never been slated to be released prior to 2021. Late Q1/early Q2 as of now.

Did the moto 3 come out in 78 or 79?

From a site advertising the re-released Bell Moto 3:


"Moto-3 Off-Road Helmet by Bell®. Forty years ago, the Bell Moto 3 hit the market and changed the look of off-road racing forever. It is one of the most recognizable and iconic helmets in the history of motorcycling. Offering protection far beyond any prior helmets, looking like nothing else on earth, the Moto-3 was immediately adopted by the sport's most legendary racers and overnight became the benchmark by which all others were measured. To this day it remains a highly sought after collectible, with battered old warriors. The iconic legend has returned! When the original Moto-3 was created back in the late 70s it was a product ahead of its time. Quickly becoming the industry standard in performance and style, today's Moto-3 is everything it was style-wise, with the added benefits of modern saftey and production advancements. From the fiberglass composite shell to the EPS-lined chin bar, Bell left no detail unpolished. The solid colors use the original style terrycloth liner, which is removable and washable."

Based off the above I would say 79/80. I know I had one in 1982.

I had a Moto III in 1980 when I was eight years old. They where around for at least two years before that. I’d have to say 78 at the latest.

No perfect close ups, but almost any recent photo of Cooper Webb, Eli Tomac, Axel Hodges shows the new helmet. Not a dramatic difference from the 9 so you have probably seen it already without noticing

Not feeling the Alien vs. Predator/Cyborg look on the side. Glad they're still pushing to develop though.

From what I’ve heard there will be a very limited initial drop on the Moto 10. If you want one, scoop one up quick.

I'm not sure, but I'd bet 1973 was the Moto Star helmet. I got my Moto 4 in 1985, "Now with Snell '85!" I think those were released in 1984. So, using the magical powers of deduction, I'd say with two releases inbetween, the Moto 3 came out around '79/'80.

Covid slowed production of the new helmet.

My Moto3 has a sticker inside dated 1977 with Snell '75 approval.

The one thing I didn’t like about the moto 9 is how busy the nose guard was. Too many angles and layers. The moto 10 is similar but they cleaned up the nose guard. Visor is cool too. The newest shoei vfx is cool, but I can’t stand the v shaped visor.
