Product Information
Full details
The Bell Nomad 2 MIPS Helmet is designed for adult mountain bikers seeking enhanced protection and comfort on challenging trails. Its key benefit is the MIPS Evolve technology, which significantly reduces rotational forces during impacts. A potential caveat is that while it offers excellent features for its price point, advanced riders might seek helmets with more specialized ventilation or weight reduction.

FAQs
What does MIPS Evolve technology do?
MIPS Evolve is a slip-plane system inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angled impacts, enhancing protection.
How do I determine the correct size for my helmet?
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the size guide: S/M (52-57cm) or M/L (53-60cm).
Can I wash the helmet padding?
Yes, the internal padding is typically removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Always allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
How often should I replace my helmet?
Helmets should be replaced after any significant impact, or typically every 3-5 years with normal use due to material degradation over time.
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
While designed with mountain biking in mind, its safety features and adjustable fit make it suitable for various cycling disciplines where impact protection is a priority, though road-specific helmets may offer more aerodynamic features.
What certifications does this helmet meet?
The Bell Nomad 2 MIPS Helmet complies with the US CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets for persons age 5 and older.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when tightened
Ensure the Ergo Fit dial is fully tightened. Check that the side straps and Y-buckle are adjusted correctly and that the helmet is the correct size for your head circumference.
Padding feels uncomfortable or causes pressure points
Remove and wash the internal padding to ensure it's clean and properly seated. Try adjusting the helmet fit slightly using the Ergo Fit system. If issues persist, consider trying a different size or a helmet with alternative padding options.
Visor is difficult to adjust or remove
Gently flex the visor to ease its removal or adjustment. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mounting points. Refer to the care instructions for proper handling.
Helmet strap adjustment is complicated
Familiarize yourself with the Y-buckle system. Adjust the sliders on the straps so the buckle sits comfortably below your ears. Refer to the setup section for detailed steps.
