FAQs
What is SLID technology?
SLID stands for Sliding Layer Impact Distribution; it is a safety feature that allows the helmet to slide slightly upon impact to reduce rotational energy transferred to the brain.
How do I adjust the fit of the HJC Bellus?
The helmet uses the SELFIT system, which automatically adjusts to your head shape once placed on, removing the need for traditional dial adjustments.
Is the helmet heavy?
No, the helmet is designed for racing and weighs approximately 225g, making it very lightweight for long-duration rides.
Can I replace the internal padding?
The BELLUS uses the COOLPATH interior system, which does not utilize traditional foam padding as its primary comfort interface.
Is this helmet suitable for night riding?
The helmet includes reflective stickers to improve your visibility to other road users in low-light conditions.
What is the construction of the shell?
It is built with an in-mold polycarbonate shell for high impact strength and weight reduction.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose during rides
Ensure the SELFIT system is correctly seated at the back of your head and verify the chin strap length is tightened sufficiently.
Straps are twisting or uncomfortable
Use the adjustable wide dividers to re-align the strap geometry until they lie flat against the skin.
Airflow feels restricted
Check that the interior ventilation channels are free from hair or debris that might have accumulated during a ride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, first place it on your head to allow the SELFIT system to automatically engage and secure the fit around your cranium. Use the adjustable wide dividers under your ears to ensure the chin straps form a secure 'Y' shape without slack. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate shell; instead, wipe the shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. The COOLPATH interior is designed to be low-maintenance, but you should periodically ensure there are no blockages within the ventilation channels to maintain peak cooling efficiency.
