FAQs
What is MIPS and why is it important?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts. It adds an extra layer of safety beyond standard impact absorption.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and compare it to the sizing chart provided by Bell. The 'L' in the title indicates the size Large.
Can I use this helmet for casual trail riding?
While it offers excellent protection, its full-face design and weight are optimized for more aggressive disciplines like DH, Enduro, and Freeride. For casual trail riding, an open-face helmet might offer better ventilation and a lighter feel.
How should I clean the helmet's interior padding?
Removable padding can typically be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Always check the product manual for specific cleaning instructions.
What is the warranty period for this helmet?
Bell helmets typically come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product documentation or Bell's official website for the exact warranty terms and duration.
Does this helmet meet any safety certifications?
Bell helmets are designed to meet or exceed industry safety standards. Specific certifications like CPSC, CE EN1078, and ASTM are usually indicated on the helmet itself or in its product manual.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or loose
Adjust the internal retention system using the dial or straps for a secure, comfortable fit. Ensure it sits level on your head.
Ventilation seems insufficient
Ensure vents are clear of debris. The Overbrow Ventilation works best at riding speeds; consider a lighter helmet for very slow or hot conditions if overheating persists.
Strap adjustment is difficult
Check that the straps are not twisted and that the buckle mechanism is clean. Refer to the helmet's manual for specific strap adjustment guides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Bell Transfer helmet comes ready to wear. Ensure you adjust the retention system using the integrated dial or straps for a snug, comfortable fit. The chin bar is fixed and does not require adjustment. Always ensure the helmet sits level on your head, covering the forehead without obstructing vision.
Compatibility: This helmet is designed for adult riders participating in MTB DH, Enduro, Freeride, and BMX. It is compatible with most goggles designed for full-face helmets. Ensure any accessories you attach do not compromise the helmet's structural integrity or fit.
Care: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's shell and protective lining.

Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, preferably in its original box or a helmet bag to prevent scratches and damage.
