Product Information

Full details

The BELL 9 Fusion MIPS MTB Full Face Helmet is designed for adult, unisex riders seeking uncompromising protection for aggressive downhill runs and bike park riding. Its key benefit is world-class safety and comfort, thanks to its fiberglass shell, MIPS technology, and advanced ventilation. A potential caveat for some users might be the full-face design, which offers maximum protection but less airflow than open-face helmets. This helmet integrates premium features for riders who demand the best when shredding downhill.

FAQs

What is MIPS and why is it important?

MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to help reduce rotational forces that can result from certain angled impacts to the head. It adds an extra layer of safety.

How do I clean the X-Static padding?

The X-Static padding is designed to inhibit odor. It can usually be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Always allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling.

Is this helmet suitable for everyday cycling?

While it offers excellent protection, the BELL 9 Fusion MIPS is primarily designed for aggressive riding disciplines like downhill and enduro. For general trail riding or commuting, a helmet with more ventilation might be more comfortable.

What sizes are available?

The helmet is available in various sizes, typically ranging from X-Small/Small to Large. Please check the specific product listing for available sizes and their corresponding head measurements.

Can I use this helmet with goggles?

Yes, the BELL 9 Fusion MIPS is designed with a wide field of view and ample space to accommodate most mountain bike goggles comfortably.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Warranty information can vary. Typically, Bell helmets come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product documentation or Bell's official website for specific warranty details.

Does the helmet come with a carry bag?

Some models or packages may include a helmet bag for protection and transport. Please check the product's included accessories list or description for details.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the fit using the helmet's internal padding. Some models may have a rear retention dial. Ensure the chin strap is snug but comfortable. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a different size.

Ventilation seems insufficient.

Ensure the ventilation ports are clear of debris. While designed for airflow, full-face helmets inherently have less ventilation than open-face styles. For climbing, consider removing the helmet if safe to do so.

Interior padding is uncomfortable or causes irritation.

Clean the padding as per care instructions. If irritation persists, ensure the padding is correctly installed. Replacement padding kits may be available.

Visor is loose or damaged.

Check the screws or mounting points for the visor. Some visors are designed to break away during impacts. Consult the manual for replacement visor instructions or contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This helmet comes ready to wear. Ensure it is properly fitted by adjusting the internal padding and retention system (if applicable, though most full-face helmets rely on shell fit and padding). The chin bar is integrated and not adjustable.

Compatibility: The BELL 9 Fusion MIPS is designed for adult riders and is unisex. It is compatible with most goggles designed for full-face helmets, offering ample space for goggle straps and a good seal.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Shell: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the shell.
  2. Cleaning the Padding: The interior padding can typically be removed (check manufacturer instructions for specific models) and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
  3. Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using a helmet bag can protect it from scratches and dust.
