I received the helmet today and it is indeed a re-badged Sy-Max II. A better and more secure fit than the Nolan. Where the Nolan radiates quality, the Street and Steel, (Sy-Max ), abounds in mediocrity. It seems as quiet as the Nolan, with no buffeting at 75mph, and the visor vent is better. I test rode it on my Yamaha SRX 6 in the bone chilling SoCal winter, I left my ST in Arizona so I don't know how the wind screen on the St will effect it. I'm happy with the purchase, I would have bought another Nolan but I just wasn't in love with the fit.
