Product Information
Full details
The BELL Nomad 2 MIPS helmet is designed for adult, unisex riders seeking a comfortable and safe option for trail cycling. Its key benefit is the integration of MIPS technology for enhanced rotational impact protection, combined with an ergonomic fit system for extended wear. A potential consideration is its 280-gram weight, which is average for its class but may be noted by weight-conscious cyclists. This helmet features a Fusion In-Mold Polycarbonate Shell for durability and safety.

FAQs
What does MIPS mean for this helmet?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts. It adds a layer of protection beyond standard impact absorption.
How do I find the right size BELL Nomad 2 helmet?
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by BELL for the Nomad 2 model.
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
While the Nomad 2 offers excellent protection, its design is optimized for trail and mountain biking with features like a visor and ventilation suited for off-road use. For dedicated road cycling, other models might be more appropriate.
How heavy is the BELL Nomad 2 MIPS helmet?
The helmet weighs approximately 280 grams in a size M/L.
Can I replace the visor on the helmet?
Information regarding replacement visors is typically available from the manufacturer or authorized retailers. Check the product documentation or contact BELL customer support for specifics.
How should I clean the helmet?
Clean the helmet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The internal padding may be removable for gentle hand washing, but consult the user manual.
What is the lifespan of a bicycle helmet?
Bicycle helmets are typically recommended to be replaced every 3-5 years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after any significant impact, regardless of visible damage.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the Ergo Fit dial for a tighter fit. Ensure the chin strap is properly secured and adjusted.
Helmet causes pressure points or discomfort
Re-adjust the Ergo Fit system. Ensure the helmet is centered correctly on your head. Consider if the helmet size is appropriate for your head shape.
Straps are difficult to adjust
Ensure the tri-glide buckles are correctly threaded. Consult the product manual or online resources for strap adjustment guidance.
Padding feels worn or uncomfortable after extended use
Check if replacement padding kits are available for this model and consider purchasing a new set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Place the helmet on your head.

- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn-out straps. If the helmet has been involved in a significant impact, it should be replaced, even if no visible damage is apparent.
