The VARIANT FINALLY gets an UPGRADE! | Icon Variant Pro Helmet Review

The Icon Variant, the helmet that was arguably one of THE go-to helmets for motovloggers back in the day, finally has a physical update with the new Icon Variant Pro! It's been 8 years since the original version came out and it was long overdue for an update. Let's see if Icon has updated all the weak points that the variant had.

Wow so much nostalgia. I use to watch your channel all the time back in 2014, but I got out of watching bloggers. But today I saw your video in suggested so figured I’d take a look. You’ve come so far these past 5 years. It’s so interesting to see you have a studio, smooth product shots, good mic and stable camera on the bike. I just remember you having to yell on that old go pro. Good times lol
Great to see you doing so well 5 years later!

watching the ending. i cant believe how good the new hypersmooth go pro stuff is. i personally could not see much shaking

I cant find any videos so i come to the man the myth the legend. C2W. How is the variant as far as wind goes on the MT07 or other naked bikes? Ive heard neck snapping torque and other negatives but at the same time I hear people that dont complain about it.

Just got the new version to replace my original Variant. The main thing I immediately noticed was how difficult it is to get my head into the helmet. Same size (large) as my old one, but much smaller, much tighter fit. Once my head is in, it feels OK, but it’s a tight squeeze. The opening of the new helmet is about 1.5” smaller diameter than my old one.

I have a gen one Variant in my garage. I really like the helmet. It’s my go to when I ride on the street.

So when I saw Chase wearing the original Icon Variant I really liked the look. I ordered one and did not really like the the helmet. My issues were #1, no speaker pockets to speak of, when I installed the speakers from my uClear system they were right up against my ears...and fitment. I found the Icon tight across the temples for my particular noggin. I tried to persevere with this helmet so as to "break it in" but this never happened. So my big take away here is to go one size up if you order this helmet...and a question in my mind for Chase is; does it have speaker pockets?

How’s the wind noise on this compared to the 1st one? I had the original and it wasn’t great for wind noise.

looks like one of those scout stormtroopers on speeders on starrwars :)

I changed the visor once on my variant and it messed it up. Considering getting the pro mow. I loved the variant but was disappointed in material quality.

[Thatbobberlife]

I have the first Variant and want to get the Pro. I'm curious if the wind noise is any better in the new one. I love the look but the original is quite loud.

[seanconnolly]

Would you go icon or ruroc? Black friday sales has me thinking about a new helmet

[Tac.Outdoors]

So the icon variant is on “close out” for $189 and the icon variant PRO is $375

Are the upgrades worth the extra $200 or should I just get the icon variant! I ride a grom!

[MotoGinji]

With The Variant pro making a comeback. Compared to the now popular Ruroc atlas, which would you go to if you had the 300/400 bucks to spend on one of those too. Or would you spend it on a different helmet altogether?

[Lucadibbets]

hey chase, are you going to review that rev it torque jacket you got on in the video? I'm considering buying it for next summer and would like to know your opinion on it!

[CheapskateMotorsports]

I'm worried about that cutaway section in the event of a crash. If that clips anything on the ground your head is going for a spin

[cbro]

Definitely glad they made an easier shield change. I fucking hated changing shields on the old variant

[RossMalagarie]

chaseontwowheels how is the wind sound at 80mph on the interstate? Super loud are about the same as helmets without the top visor?

[double-oseven]

Percfect, your a legend, cheers brother!!

[petemitchell]

Go, chase. Does your mike remove wind noise in this video, or is it that quiet?

[SakuraNagashi]

Will Icon be making any more of the original variant’s or are they totally done with them now?
