Product Information
Full details
The Bell Trace LED Commuter Helmet is designed for adult cyclists seeking a versatile, high-visibility solution for fitness rides, daily commuting, and casual neighbourhood excursions. Its standout benefit is the integrated 20-lumen rear LED light, which significantly boosts rider visibility in low-light conditions without adding unnecessary bulk. While this helmet offers exceptional comfort and safety features, users should note that the integrated light requires periodic recharging via micro-USB, which may be an adjustment for those accustomed to traditional, maintenance-free headgear.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the rear LED light waterproof?
The light is designed to withstand normal riding conditions, including rain, but it should never be submerged in water.
How long does a single charge last?
The battery life varies based on the lighting mode used, but generally lasts through several standard commutes.
Can I replace the battery if it fails?
The battery is integrated into the retention system; it is not designed to be user-replaceable.
Is this helmet unisex?
Yes, the Bell Trace LED is designed with a universal fit system suitable for all adults.
How often should I replace the helmet?
You should replace your helmet every 3-5 years or immediately after any significant impact, as damage may not always be visible.
Troubleshooting
The rear LED light will not turn on.
Ensure the light is fully charged using the provided micro-USB cable. If it still fails to turn on, check for debris in the charging port.
The helmet feels loose on the head even when tightened.
Adjust the rear dial fully and check that the internal padding is properly seated. Ensure the side straps are pulled taut against the face.
Straps are twisting during use.
Re-align the No-Twist Tri-Glides so that the webbing lays flat against the plastic clip. If the strap is permanently twisted, undo the clip to flatten it out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, start by placing it level on your head. Use the rear Ergo Fit dial to adjust the circumference until snug but comfortable. Adjust the side straps so that the Tri-Glides sit just below your ears, ensuring no twisting occurs.
For the LED light, simply connect the provided micro-USB cable to the port on the light housing until the indicator shows a full charge. To clean the helmet, use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents or cleaners, which can damage the shell integrity. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
