FAQs
What is SLID technology?
SLID stands for Sliding Layer Impact Distribution; it is an HJC-specific technology designed to reduce rotational force on the brain during an impact.
Is the COOLPATH liner removable?
The COOLPATH system is integrated into the helmet's design to promote airflow and acts as a replacement for standard padding, so it is not meant to be removed like traditional soft cushions.
How much does the helmet weigh?
The HJC Bellus weighs approximately 225g.
Can I use this for mountain biking?
The Bellus is specifically designed and tested for road cycling aerodynamics and may not offer the same protection profile or coverage required for mountain biking.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Ensure the helmet is level on your head and the SELFIT system engages automatically; use the 5-step snap points to calibrate the tension if the base fit is too loose or tight.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or unstable
Adjust the 5-step snap fit position to ensure the automatic system has retracted enough for a snug grip.
Difficulty with the strap positioning
Manually slide the wide divider along the strap webbing until it sits comfortably below your earlobes, ensuring the V-shape is even.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the HJC Bellus, start by placing the helmet on your head; the SELFIT system will automatically adjust to your specific dimensions. Utilize the 5-step snap fit feature to fine-tune the tension according to your preference. Ensure the adjustable wide divider lies flat against your skin, sitting just below your ears. For maintenance, wipe the polycarbonate shell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents on the EPS liner as they can compromise the structural integrity. Always store your helmet in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
