Full details

Designed with extended rear coverage and a sturdy fusion in-mold polycarbonate shell, it offers reliable protection for active kids; however, parents should note that its mountain-bike-inspired aesthetic may feel bulkier than traditional road-style helmets.

Is this helmet safety certified?
Yes, it is both CPSC Bicycle and CE EN1078 certified, meeting rigorous safety standards for cycling.
Can I remove the visor?

Troubleshooting
Helmet slides forward or backward on the head
Adjust the ErgoDial system until the helmet is snug, and ensure the side strap 'V' junctions are positioned just below the ears.
Buckle is difficult to secure
Check the PinchGuard area for debris or fabric caught in the mechanism; clear any obstructions and ensure the buckle is aligned properly before clicking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, the Bell Sidetrack must be fitted correctly. First, measure the circumference of the child's head, as this helmet is designed to fit sizes from 50 to 57cm. To adjust, place the helmet on the head and turn the ErgoDial located at the rear until the helmet is snug but comfortable. Ensure the side straps form a 'V' shape around the ears and the PinchGuard buckle sits securely without catching skin. For care, wipe the shell with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can degrade the polycarbonate shell. The inner padding can be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried to manage sweat and odor.
