Product Information
Full details
The Bell Local BMX and Skate Helmet is designed for adult riders who want the classic aesthetic of a skate-style helmet paired with the modern security of a cycling-specific fit system. It is an ideal choice for BMX enthusiasts, dirt jumpers, and urban commuters seeking a reliable, low-profile look. While the helmet excels in durability and comfort, potential users should note that its fixed ventilation system may not provide the same cooling airflow as high-end road cycling helmets during intense, prolonged climbs in high heat.

FAQs
Is this helmet safe for road cycling?
Yes, it is certified for cycling (CE EN1078, CPSC), though it lacks the extreme aerodynamic ventilation of specialized road helmets.
How do I know what size I need?
This specific model fits a head circumference of 59 - 62 cm. Use a soft measuring tape around your head just above your eyebrows.
Can I replace the internal pads?
Yes, the interior pads are removable for washing or replacement if they become worn.
Is the helmet suitable for children?
This model is specifically designed for adults, with a sizing range of 59-62 cm.
How often should I replace the helmet?
You should replace your helmet after any major impact, or every 3 to 5 years even without visible damage to ensure the foam remains effective.
Troubleshooting
The helmet feels loose even after tightening the dial
Ensure the rear fit system is positioned low enough on the back of your head (the occipital bone) before tightening the dial.
Straps are twisting or digging into the ears
Adjust the side plastic strap sliders until the intersection point is located just below the ear, and ensure the webbing is flat.

- Sleek, low-profile design

- Heavier than specialized road cycling headwear
- Not intended for high-speed professional road racing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, start by loosening the rear Action Fit dial completely. Place the helmet on your head so it sits level—not tilted back or hanging over your forehead. Once the helmet is positioned, turn the dial clockwise until the fit feels snug but comfortable. The straps should form a 'V' shape around your ears; adjust the sliders so the intersection sits just below the earlobe. Finally, ensure the chin strap is tight enough that you can only fit two fingers between the strap and your chin.
For care, wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using heavy solvents or chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the shell materials. Remove and wash the interior padding periodically to maintain hygiene, and store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as excessive heat can compromise the integrity of the foam liner.
