I have hi-viz yellow Bell Revolver Evo and a Sena SMH10 all put together. The built-in speaker pockets in the Evo work well with the Velcro pads for mounting the Sena's speakers. The Sena unit works well, I just wish it was a little bit louder. With the wind noise, music gets a little hard to hear at highway speeds, although there is no problem hearing the phone. It pairs instantly with my iPhone 4. It should also pair with several different combinations of Bluetooth devices such as a GPS, iPod and other SMH10/5 units. Paring the unit with an SR10 will allow attachment of wired devices such as two way radio adapters, non-bluetooth GPS units and radar detectors, etc.
The unit allows stereo streamed music and telephone use with simple jog dial or phone button control. The phone can be answered by jut saying "hello" into the mic. There is also a jack so that the unit can be attached to an MP3 player that does not have Bluetooth.
I haven't been able to test the intercom features as I don't know anyone else with the same unit. With the helmet flip closed, the microphone doesn't have much room, and it sometimes rubs against my lips. I'll have to see how that sorts out on longer rides.
Charging and updating the Bluetooth unit is simple as the main unit comes off and can easily be connected to the charger or a computer. The unit can also be charged while still attached to the helmet, and can even be charged while the unit is in use using the supplied "cigarette lighter" plug. I wonder about the durability of the plastic clip that holds the Sena unit into the helmet mount bracket. I hope it's more durable the the clips on my Otterbox phone holster!
My only other issue has do with the iPhone's awful speech recognition for dialling, but that certainly isn't the fault of Sena. Hopefully I will see an improvement when I upgrade my phone later this summer.
As far as the helmet goes, it is a fairly good fit. I have a large head, and the XXL is a bit tight in the forehead area. There seem to be three shell sizes. one for XS and S, one for M and L and one for XL and XXL. Sizing within the shells is accomplished with different sized padding. The inner padding is removable for washing, although replacing the top padding is a bit fiddly in the front due to the type of attachment to avoid using snaps in the forehead area. The rest of the padding snaps in easily. Replacements are available from several vendors for the padding.
The visor in the Revolver Evo is super easy to change out, and there are several choices of visor including a heated 2 layer winter version. There is a positive click vent position of the visor, and then a slight ratcheting feel as the visor is flipped completely up. There is a slight projection on the left side of the visor that is easily found with a gloved hand.
The Revolver Evo also has a flip down internal sunshield that is easily flipped down using controls on the left side of the helmet. This sunshield can also be easily swapped out for different colours.
This helmet is not as quiet as I would like it to be. There is a fair amount of wind noise at highway speeds, but airflow is good with very little buffeting. The vents flow a fairly good amount of air. The flip mechanism works well, but does snag a bit on the breath deflector when opening. The latch the the flip is located in the chin area and is easily operated using the thumb of the left hand.
I'll keep you posted as I use this combination more this summer.
