I didn't bring my helmet for a test fit, just did the "how many fingers can I fit above my head" test. When I'm sitting upright as if traveling straight ahead, there was ample clearance. But when taking a lefthand corner, you tend to tilt your head over towards the door and that will bring it in close proximity to a section of the roof which is lower. I suspect there may be a bit interference there, but it looked better than my current summer toy.

I'm only 5'-7" and change but I tend to race with the seatback quite upright to get the best possible sight lines.
