FAQs
What is MIPS and why is it important?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is an internal layer that allows the helmet to slide slightly upon impact, reducing rotational energy transferred to the brain.
Can I replace the internal sun visor?
Yes, the visor is designed for accessibility, though you should refer to the service manual for the specific replacement process.
How often should I replace the helmet?
It is generally recommended to replace a helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately following any significant impact.
Is the liner machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash the liner with mild detergent to protect the antimicrobial fibers and maintain the fabric's integrity.
Does this helmet come in different shell sizes?
The Bell Lithium MIPS is available in various sizes to accommodate different head circumferences; check the specific product label to ensure your fit.
Troubleshooting
Sun visor is difficult to retract
Check for debris in the visor track and clean it with compressed air or a soft cloth.
Helmet interior odor buildup
Remove the interior liners and wash them using the gentle hand-wash instructions provided.
Visor appears loose or wobbly
Ensure all mounting screws are properly tightened and check the mechanism for any obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, always verify that the helmet is correctly sized to your head; it should feel snug but not painful. When cleaning, remove the interior pads and wash them by hand with mild soap and water to preserve the antimicrobial properties. Use only a soft cloth and mild soapy water to clean the shell and visor, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the visor's clarity. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, and inspect the chin strap and MIPS attachment points periodically to ensure they are free of debris and fully functional.
