FAQs
What is MIPS and why is it important?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is an internal slip-plane layer designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during certain types of impacts.
Can I replace the face shield with a tinted one?
Yes, the helmet features a quick-release shield system that allows for easy removal and replacement of shields.
Are the vents adjustable?
Yes, there are four closable vents that can be opened or closed based on your preference for airflow.
Is this helmet suitable for track use?
The Bell Lithium MIPS is built for high-level performance, but always consult local track regulations regarding specific safety ratings before use.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
The helmet should sit level on your head, with the inner lining making firm contact with your skin without creating uncomfortable pressure points.
Troubleshooting
Face shield feels loose or doesn't lock
Ensure the quick-release mechanism is fully clicked into the locked position and check for any debris in the track.
Airflow feels restricted
Verify that all four vent sliders are in the fully open position and check that no interior padding is obstructing the intake ports.
Sun shield is difficult to lower
Gently operate the deployment lever to ensure it is not obstructed by debris; if resistant, clean the area around the pivot point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure the helmet fits snugly around the cheeks and crown without creating pressure points. To clean the outer shell, use a mild soap and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the polycarbonate finish. The face shield should be cleaned using clear water and a microfiber cloth to maintain the integrity of the Class 1 optics. Check the quick-release mechanism periodically to ensure it remains free of debris for smooth operation. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the EPS liner's protective properties.
