FAQs

What is MIPS Evolve technology?

MIPS Evolve is a slip-plane system integrated into the helmet's retention system. It is designed to reduce rotational forces that can occur during certain angled impacts, helping to protect the brain.

How do I determine the correct size for my Bell Nomad 2 MIPS Helmet?

Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the size guide provided: S/M fits 52-57cm, and M/L fits 53-60cm.

Can I wear a thin beanie under the helmet in cold weather?

While the Ergo Fit system allows for some adjustment, wearing a thick beanie may compromise the helmet's proper fit and safety. A very thin skullcap or balaclava might be compatible, but always ensure the helmet remains snug and stable.

How should I clean my helmet?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to clean the exterior and interior. Avoid harsh chemicals. Removable padding can often be hand-washed separately.

What is the difference between the Nomad 2 MIPS and non-MIPS versions?

The MIPS versions include the MIPS Evolve technology for rotational force reduction, offering an additional layer of safety. Non-MIPS versions do not have this specific feature.

Is the visor removable?

Yes, the visor on the Bell Nomad 2 MIPS Helmet is designed to be removable, allowing for customization based on riding conditions and personal preference.

What certifications does this helmet meet?

This helmet complies with the US CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets for Persons Age 5 and Older and the CE EN1078 standard.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose after adjustment.

Ensure the Ergo Fit dial is fully tightened and that the No-Twist Tri-Glides™ are properly positioned. Re-measure your head circumference to confirm you have the correct helmet size.

Straps are uncomfortable or dig into the skin.

Adjust the No-Twist Tri-Glides™ so the straps lie flat. Ensure the 'V' shape below the ear is correctly positioned. You may also need to adjust the chin strap for a better fit.

Padding feels insufficient or causes pressure points.

Ensure the helmet is correctly sized and adjusted. If pressure points persist, check if the padding is installed correctly or consider if a different helmet model might offer a better fit for your head shape.

Visor is difficult to attach or remove.

Align the visor carefully with the mounting points on the helmet. Apply firm, steady pressure. Refer to the product manual for specific guidance on visor installation.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust the Fit System: Place the helmet on your head. Use the dial on the back of the Ergo Fit system to tighten or loosen the retention harness until it feels snug and secure, but not uncomfortably tight. Ensure it can be adjusted with one hand.
  2. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the No-Twist Tri-Glides™ to ensure the straps lie flat against your face and form a 'V' shape just below your earlobes. The chin strap should be snug enough that you can fit no more than one or two fingers between the strap and your chin.
  3. Visor Attachment/Removal: The visor can be removed or attached by gently pulling it away from or pushing it onto the designated points on the helmet shell.

Compatibility:

  • This helmet complies with the US CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets for Persons Age 5 and Older and CE EN1078.
  • Available in two primary sizes: S/M (52-57cm) and M/L (53-60cm). Ensure you measure your head circumference to select the correct size.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the shell and internal components.
  • Padding: The internal padding can often be removed for hand washing. Check the helmet's manual for specific instructions on pad removal and care.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or damaged.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn padding. If the helmet has been involved in a significant impact, it should be replaced, even if no visible damage is apparent.
