Product Information
Full details
The Bell Lithium MIPS Full Face Helmet is designed for adult riders who prioritize safety, aerodynamic efficiency, and aggressive styling on the road. It provides advanced protection against both direct and rotational impacts through its MIPS-integrated multi-density EPS liner, though its full-face design may feel restrictive to riders accustomed to open-face alternatives during high-heat conditions.

FAQs
What is MIPS technology?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to slide to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts.
Can I replace the face shield?
Yes, the face shield is designed to be removable for cleaning or replacement should it become scratched or damaged.
How do I know if I have the right fit?
The helmet should feel snug around the entire crown of your head without pressure points, and should not move when you shake your head.
Is the sun shield polarized?
The drop-down sun shield is designed for glare reduction, but check the specific visor markings for certification and tint levels.
How often should I replace the helmet?
It is recommended to replace any helmet that has been involved in a significant impact, or every 3-5 years due to the natural degradation of materials over time.
Troubleshooting
Sun shield is sticking or not deploying fully
Clean the tracks of the sun shield mechanism with compressed air to remove debris and ensure the sliding lever is free of obstructions.
Increased noise or wind buffeting
Check that all vents are properly closed and verify that the face shield seal is correctly seated against the helmet gasket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper protection, always verify the fit of the helmet so that it sits level on the head without shifting. When cleaning the polycarbonate shell, use only mild soap and water with a microfiber cloth; avoid harsh solvents that can degrade the structural finish. The interior liners are generally removable for cleaning, which should be done periodically to maintain hygiene. Ensure the sun shield mechanism remains clear of debris by wiping it with a soft, lint-free cloth, and periodically check that all four vents operate freely without resistance.
