FAQs
What is the primary benefit of MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is designed to allow the helmet to slide slightly relative to the head, reducing rotational force during an impact.
Can I wear goggles with this helmet?
Yes, the Spark 2 features an adjustable visor that provides enough room to accommodate most standard mountain bike goggles.
How do I clean the interior pads?
You can remove the pads and hand wash them in cold water with mild soap, then allow them to air dry.
Is this helmet suitable for road biking?
While designed for mountain biking, it is safe to use on the road; however, it may provide more coverage and warmth than a dedicated road-racing helmet.
What is the weight of the helmet?
The Bell Spark 2 MIPS weighs approximately 330 grams.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbles during movement
Adjust the rear Ergo Fit dial to tighten the internal cradle and ensure the chin strap is tensioned correctly.
Sweat dripping into eyes during intense rides
Check that the internal Sweat Guide padding is positioned correctly against your forehead and is free of excess debris.
Visor feels loose or does not stay in place
Check the attachment points for the visor to ensure all screws or friction clips are fully engaged and tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by loosening the Ergo Fit rear dial completely before placing the helmet on your head. Once positioned level on the brow, tighten the dial until the helmet feels secure but not constrictive. Ensure the side straps sit flat against your face and that the Y-junction sits just below your ears. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals; clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. The internal pads are typically removable for hand washing with cold water and air drying. Always inspect the helmet shell and interior foam after any significant impact, as structural damage may not always be visible.
