Yeah, it does make a lot of sense.
I don't run two helmets on individual rides, I'll just hump it uphill with a
FF donned. Mostly, the suck factor for wearing a lightweight full-face helmet
isn't really that bad, and if bumping cardio redline isn't the plan for
climbing, they do work ok.
I'd still like to run a removable chin-bar option, as it makes lots of sense,
it's just that none of them are $100 nicer (especially due to weight) than
just running a lightweight full face.
I think the second-gen ones will be awesome enough to start supplanting those,
but I think some of the fancy integration will have to come into how the chin
bar gets carried (backpack-helmet combos with some limited back protection).
Kali may also roll out with a pretty awesome one.
Still pretty cool to me that all of the Bell supported racing teams (FIA WEC,
F1, etc.) also run the Super2R as a pit crew helmet where full fire suits
aren't required.
