BILT Techno 3.0 Modular Sena Bluetooth Helmet
Price: $269.99
Where to Buy:
Why?
The Bilt Techno 3.0 is packed with features for a lid under $300 bucks. Covering the basics, this is a modular helmet with a simple one-handed operation for the chin bar and a drop-down internal sun visor.
The composite shell comes in 2 shell sizes and can fit those with even the biggest heads with sizing up to 5XL. Of course, the key feature of the Techno 3.0 is the built-in Sena Bluetooth system.
The Sena DWO-6 Bluetooth v4.1 system allows pairing with up to 4 riders, a 1-mile range, and 8 hours of battery life. Whoever said you couldn’t have it all for so little… was wrong!
Specs, Head Shape, & More
- Head shape: intermediate oval
- Weight: 3.88 lbs
- DOT certified
The In-Depth Review
We are looking forward to a riding review of the Bilt Techno 3.0. Our staff was impressed at the quality and value we found when testing the Techno 2.0; check out that review and it will make sense why we expect great things from the Techno 3.0.
Sena Outrush R Modular Helmet
Price:Â $259.99
Where to Buy:
Why?
Newly released from Sena in 2021, the Outrush R is a remarkable helmet at this price point. The clean modular design includes a drop-down sun visor and provides great airflow to keep the rider’s head cool.
Sena steps things up with an improved Bluetooth 5.0 system and a slew of advanced audio features. Smartphone connections are dead simple thanks to the Sean app, and you should get 12 hours from a full battery charge.
With the Outrush R, Sena definitely moved things up a level.

The Outrush R was put through rigorous testing here at wBW. Have a look…
Sedici Viaggio Parlare Sena Bluetooth ADV Helmet
Price: $259.99
Where to Buy:
Why?
If you’re a free-spirited ADV rider seeking an entry-level ADV/dual-sport helmet ready for seamless Bluetooth integration, the Sedici Viaggio Parlare is a hard option to ignore. This fully DOT-certified helmet actually comes with the Bluetooth unit already installed in the helmet unlike some of the other helmets listed here.
A good communications device can cost hundreds of dollars (especially a name-brand SENA unit), so to have a helmet with the device already integrated at a $250 price point is a great feat.
Specs, Head Shape, & More
- Head shape: intermediate oval
- Weight:5.9 lbs
- DOT certified

Quin Spitfire
Price:Â $429
Where to Buy:
Why?
Quin is currently leading the industry with their integration of technology into their helmets. Although this lid does come with universal Bluetooth and a built-in speaker/microphone, it also features Quin Design’s “Intellequin” crash detection system as well as an SOS beacon.
In the event you get into a collision, the helmet will detect the addict and send an SOS message to an emergency contact. The fact that this helmet bundles all that tech into a 3.3-pound form factor is amazing.

- Head shape: intermediate oval
- Weight: 3.88 lbs
- DOT & ECE certified
Our In-Depth Review
We haven’t actually reviewed the Spitfire hands-on, but ADVrider.com provided the world with a great review a few months ago.
Sedici Strada II Parlare Bluetooth Helmet
Price: $369.99
Where to Buy:
Why?
Sedici throws all their latest tech into the Strada II Parlare. The aerodynamically tuned shell of fiberglass and DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber is lightweight without sacrificing strength and meets both DOT and ECE-22.05 standards.
Ventilation is excellent through the EPS, and the liner has adjustable padding for fine-tuning the fitment. The integrated Sena DWO-6 Bluetooth v4.1 system has you riding with a seamless connection to your phone (as well as up to 4 other riders).
Everything you want in a clean, high performance helmet is right here. What are you waiting for?

Scorpion EXO-GT930 EXO-COM Transformer Helmet
Price: $424.95
Where to Buy:
Why?
Scorpion helmets are well known for style, quality, and killer value, and the EXO-GT930 EXO-COM Transformer is sure to live up to that standard.
So what’s with the “Transformer” part of the name? Well, this new model from Scorpion is not just modular, but the chin bar can be quickly removed without tools, and the supplied peak can be attached for a sweet open-face configuration!
As if that wasn’t enough, Scorpion teamed up with UClear for a top-notch Bluetooth system that is fully integrated into the EXO-GT930 (to keep you fully connected to the rest of the Autobots).
The new EXO-COM BlueTooth Communicator Kit allows you to connect to other riders, your mobile device, and to your music. The powerful Bluetooth 5 processor chipsets provide outstanding DynaMESH intercom capabilities that keep you connected by auto-reorganizing the MESH network as your riding group moves and even reconnects to riders who rejoin the group.
Get this Scorpion on your head, turn on the EXO-COM, and listen for “Autobots, roll out!” Yes, my inner child is alive and well.

Shoei Neotec 2 Helmet
Where to Buy:
Price:Â $749.99
Why?
With an intermediate oval head shape, the Shoei Neotec II should fit the heads of the majority of riders out there. The helmet can be had with the SENA SRL integrated, and that makes it a real communications winner as well.
The Neotec 2 is an extremely high-quality modular helmet and is packed full of features such as a pin lock visor, drop-down sun visor, great ventilation, and seamless integration with the SENA SRL device. Despite the modular form factor, this helmet is both DOT and SNELL certified, meaning this helmet covers all bases.
Specs, Head Shape, & More
- Head shape: intermediate oval
- Weight: 4.12 lbs
- DOT certified
Our In-Depth Review
Cameron did a comprehensive review of this helmet, and due to the great experience he had with it, the Neotec II actually became his main helmet option when going out for a ride. Read the complete Shoei Neotec II review.
Sena Momentum INC Pro
Price: $549.95
Where to Buy:
Why?
Fully integrated Bluetooth communications devices are pretty cool. How about slapping on an integrated camera as well?
Although this helmet has a full SENA comms device in the helmet, it also has a 1440p HD camera mounted to the top so you can capture special moments or utilize the continuous-rolling feature as a dash-cam of sorts.
The camera and communication device quality is way above what you’d expect, and the DOT certification makes the point that this helmet isn’t giving up any safety in exchange for these features.

Our In-Depth Review
In 2019, Bruce wrote the equivalent of a university dissertation about this helmet in his in-depth review on our website. The review is exhaustingly long and covers every single base you could imagine.
When you’re spending $700 on a helmet, you want to make sure you’re getting what you pay for—and if you have any qualms about buying this helmet, Bruce’s review should put those worries to rest.
