Product Information
Full details
The Bell Local BMX Helmet is designed for adults seeking a versatile, dual-certified head protector that bridges the gap between classic skate style and modern cycling functionality. It is an ideal choice for riders hitting pump tracks, shredding at skate parks, or navigating urban environments, offering a secure fit via its integrated adjustment system. However, users should note that while it offers robust protection, its weight of 437g is noticeable compared to ultra-lightweight road cycling helmets.

What size range does the medium fit?

Can I use this for road cycling?
While it meets safety standards for cycling, it is optimized for BMX and skate use and may be heavier and less ventilated than dedicated road helmets.

Troubleshooting
Helmet feels unstable or rocks on the head
Adjust the rear Action Fit dial to tighten the internal cradle and ensure the chin strap is tightened to prevent movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, loosen the rear adjustment dial of the Action Fit system before placing the helmet on your head. Once positioned, tighten the dial until the helmet feels snug but comfortable around the circumference of your head. Ensure the chin strap is adjusted so that it sits firmly against the jawline without excessive slack.
For care, clean the shell with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can compromise the integrity of the shell. Periodically inspect the straps and the internal EPS foam for any signs of cracking or fraying. If the helmet sustains a significant impact, it should be replaced immediately, regardless of whether damage is visible.
