Sitting on a table doesn't show the difference this guy's is asking about. As the helmet sits on top of your head, it is the top pad, the inner bead liner, and shell thickness that will determine the height of the top of your helmet. And to pass the Snell standard, all of the helmet brands are close to the same. Your comparison only shows the difference in the trim line at the bottom. We have always built the Bell line to come down further below the chin in the front, and a little more in the back. For dirt racers it tends to help with dust coming up from the bottom.
