The shape is optimized for performance on the road – ventilated for long climbs, but still sleek enough for flat flats. The integrated Float Fit System provides comfort and security with a streamlined fit and oversized dial that’s easy to adjust with one hand.

The Overbrow Ventilation System channels cooling air through the front panel and directs it through a mesh of air channels to protect against overheating. Thanks to the adjustable No-Twist Tri-Glides, the straps stay flat and don’t slip – no matter how hard you pedal. This model is also equipped with the MIPS protection system (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System).

Technologies

MIPS
MIPS is a sliding plane system within the helmet designed to slow or prevent the amount of energy transferred toward or away from the head.

In-Mold
With In-Mold construction, the durable polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to the impact-absorbing EPS inner shell in a single step during the foaming process. The helmet becomes, without additional weight, thereby even more resistant. This production process also makes it possible to form significantly better ventilation systems and vents. In-mold helmets are, compared to traditional helmets, thus lighter and have significantly better ventilation systems.

Float Fit
Bell’s most advanced helmet fit system combines comfort and safety in an ultra-lightweight design. Float Fit™ optimizes the fit of the helmet in 2 ways – in terms of head circumference and vertical adjustability. To reduce weight and simplify usability, the guide arms uniquely enclose the back of the head thanks to “Float” design. This puts the helmet in an ideal position on the head. Simple, lightweight and comfortable.

Roll Cage
The Roll Cage™ is a reinforcement made of extra impact-resistant Nylon® embedded directly into the EPS inner foam of Bell’s best helmets. It grants an extra level of stability and safety.
