Product Information
Full details
The Bell Lithium MIPS Full Face Helmet is designed for adult motorcyclists who prioritize both advanced safety features and aggressive aesthetic styling. The primary benefit of this helmet is its integration of the MIPS protection system and multi-density EPS liner, which provide superior energy management during impacts. A notable caveat is that the helmet’s focus on high-performance aerodynamics and closure-heavy ventilation may feel restrictive to riders who prefer maximum open-air circulation in extreme heat.

FAQs
What is MIPS technology?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a technology designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during certain types of impacts.
Can I replace the shield with a tinted version?
Yes, the helmet features a quick-release mechanism that allows for tool-free replacement of the shield with various optical-grade alternatives.
How often should I clean the vents?
Inspect the vents periodically for debris or bug build-up; clear them as needed to maintain optimal airflow.
Is the helmet suitable for track days?
The Bell Lithium MIPS is designed for high-performance riding, but always check local track requirements regarding specific safety certifications before use.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
The helmet should be snug around your entire head without pressure points. The strap should be tight enough to prevent the helmet from rolling off the head when tilted forward.
Troubleshooting
Sun visor is sticking or difficult to deploy
Clear any dust or debris from the sliding mechanism track using compressed air.
Shield is not locking into place
Verify that the quick-release pivots are fully engaged and free of obstructions.
Increased wind noise while riding
Ensure all four intake and exhaust vents are fully seated in the closed position.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of rotational impact protection with MIPS
- Versatile sun visor for variable lighting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper fit is essential for the MIPS system to function correctly. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head and the chin strap is tightened to manufacturer specifications before every ride. To maintain the shell, use only mild soap and water with a microfiber cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could compromise the polycarbonate finish. The shield should be cleaned similarly, using a non-abrasive cleaner to protect the Class 1 optical coating. Always check the quick-release mechanism for debris after dusty rides to ensure it continues to lock securely.
