Product Information
Full details
The Bell Sixer MIPS MTB Helmet is designed for adult mountain bikers who prioritize comfort and safety during long backcountry rides. Its key benefit lies in the integration of MIPS technology and an advanced ventilation system that keeps the head cool while offering superior rotational impact protection. However, users should note that as a performance-oriented lid, it is specifically optimized for trail riding and may feel bulkier than minimalist cross-country alternatives.

FAQs
Is the visor removable?
Yes, the 4-position visor is fully adjustable and can be removed for cleaning or if you prefer riding without it.
Does this helmet work with all brands of goggles?
The helmet is designed to be compatible with most standard mountain bike goggles, featuring a rear strap gripper to keep them in place.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace any helmet that has sustained an impact, or every three to five years under normal use to ensure the integrity of the materials.
What is MIPS?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a technology designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain angled impacts.
Can I mount a heavy light to the helmet?
The mount is designed for common cycling lights and cameras; please check the weight specifications of your specific light to ensure it is within the mount's structural limits.
Is the helmet machine washable?
No, you should hand wash the inner pads with mild soap and water and let them air dry.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels unstable on the head
Re-adjust the rear dial on the Float Fit system and ensure the side strap 'Y' junctions are sitting flush against the skin just below the ears.
Accessory mount feels loose
Check that the camera or light is clicked firmly into the breakaway mount and ensure the mount itself is properly seated in the helmet's integrated track.
Sweat dripping into eyes
Ensure the internal 'Sweat Guide' pads are clean and correctly positioned to channel moisture away from the forehead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, begin by adjusting the rear dial of the Float Fit system to create a snug, comfortable fit without being overly tight. Adjust the side straps so that the junction sits just below the ears. For camera or light mounting, snap your device into the integrated breakaway mount on the top of the shell; always check that the mount is secure before your ride. For care, clean the helmet shell using only mild soap and water—avoid using harsh solvents or cleaners that could compromise the polycarbonate construction. Hand wash the inner padding regularly to prevent sweat buildup and keep the liner fresh.
