Sena Noise Control Helmet

[OverHillAndDale]

I just ordered the new Sena Momentum Inc. Helmet, which has intelligent noise control built in. I hate ear plugs, I also hate full face helmets but I’m willing to go full face if it will save my hearing.

I’ll give an update after I have a week or two to break it in.

I'd be very interested in your observations about Sena's helmet. I'm also curious to know why you hate full face helmets? I've been wearing full face and modular helmets since we at Thistle Racing Limited were the first to compete wearing a full face helmet (the original Bell Star) at Snetterton Circuit, UK, in the late 1960s.

There have been quantum leaps in weight, protection effectiveness, noise reduction and aerodynamics (after a fashion) since those days many years ago. And, although I've not fallen off for quite some time, I'm interested in protecting my chin and jaw which, according to research, is injured in almost 38% of motorcycle accidents.

And for what it's worth I still have a half inch scar just to the left of my nose inflicted in the mid 1960s by what must have been a two pound June bug made of depleted uranium. It struck me while I was wearing an open face helmet - and it hurt like blazes not to mention causing me to bleed all over the place.

Still, it's to each his (or her) own. I hope the Sena helmet turns out to be a good investment.

Hi Everyone this is just a note to those who want to get the new
SENA Momentum Helmet with the Noise control.....
They are NOT out yet
Don't let anyone kid you....
If you do get one ??? I am sure SENA would love to know about it
Call SENA in San Jose Ca. at 925-255-8936
I DO HOWEVER have the
Momentum helmets WITHOUT the Noise control feature available in all sizes
right now.
I can take orders for the one above with that feature but you will not get it
for a while, SENA says maybe June or July...
Just a heads up for you so you will know the latest

Dave, it looks like you may be correct, as usual!

Revzilla lists them but it states that it is a pre-order only! Quite the pricing little thing.

I am guessing that it has a Sena 20 unit, as it is limited to 8 connections and I think that the 30 is almost unlimited. But then why would you want to have more than 8 people barking at you while on a ryde?

Curious (and potentially disappointing). After 3 years of advertising these as “coming soon”, the website finally changed and they are now providing them in their online store. Further, some sizes/colors are listed as “Out of Stock” which would indicate that the others are in stock.

I got an email from Sena after I ordered the helmet which states “We have all items in stock for your order”. and that it will ship in a couple of days.

I’ll keep you posted.

Could it be that you have ordered the Momentum Helmet with OUT the noise cancellation feature....which is available? There is one review on Revzilla .

I’ve always found full face helmets to be hot, and I like the wind I get in my face from a 3/4 or modular helmet. However, I’ve willing to give that up to protect my hearing.

When I had the one motorcycle wreck I had, I happened to be wearing my modular helmet with the face portion closed. When I looked at the helmet afterwards there were deep scratches across the face.
