FAQs
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
Yes, it is CPSC Bicycle certified and safe for road cycling, though it lacks the high-ventilation and lightweight profile of dedicated road-specific helmets.
Can I remove the internal padding for cleaning?
Yes, the padding is designed to be removable for hand washing with mild soap and water.
Does this helmet come with a visor?
No, the Bell Local features a visor-less design to maintain its classic, low-profile skate aesthetic.
How do I know if this size fits me?
This specific model is designed for a head circumference of 59 - 61.5 cm. Measure your head just above your eyebrows to confirm compatibility.
Can I use this for competitive skateboarding?
Yes, the helmet is certified to the ASTM F1492-08 standard, which is specifically intended for skateboarding and trick roller skating.
How long should I keep this helmet?
It is generally recommended to replace any helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately if it has been involved in a significant impact.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when the dial is tightened
Ensure the rear cradle is positioned correctly at the base of your skull and check that side strap lengths are balanced.
Dial-fit system is difficult to rotate
Check for any debris or grit inside the dial mechanism; gently clean with a soft brush or compressed air.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Dual-certified for both cycling and skating safety
- Dial-adjustable fit system ensures high stability
- Durable ABS hard shell construction

Cons
- Fixed ventilation cannot be closed in cold weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the optimal fit, place the helmet on your head and rotate the rear dial until the cradle holds the helmet firmly but comfortably in place. Ensure the side straps are adjusted so that the V-junction sits just below your ears, and the chin strap is tightened to allow only one or two fingers of space.
For care, wipe the shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. The interior padding can generally be removed and hand-washed with cool water and air-dried to maintain hygiene. Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, as prolonged UV exposure or high temperatures can degrade the integrity of the shell and foam liner.
