FAQs

Is this helmet MIPS-equipped?

This specific Bell Formula model does not include MIPS. Please check the product label or alternative MIPS-designated versions if you require that feature.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

The helmet should sit level on your head, covering your forehead without tilting back, and should remain stable even when the chin strap is undone (when adjusted correctly).

Can I replace the internal pads?

Yes, the internal pads are removable. If they lose their shape or effectiveness, they can be cleaned or replaced with compatible Bell replacement pads.

Does it come in multiple sizes?

Yes, the helmet is designed for adults and is available in multiple sizes to ensure a proper fit for various head shapes.

What is the benefit of the in-mold construction?

In-mold construction provides a stronger, more durable helmet that is generally lighter than helmets where the shell and foam are glued separately.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels unstable or moves around

Adjust the Float Fit dial on the back and ensure the chin strap is tightened to the recommended length.

Straps feel twisted or uncomfortable against the face

Use the No-Twist Tri-Glides to flatten the webbing and ensure the strap junction is positioned correctly under the ears.

Sweat is still getting into eyes

Ensure the Sweat Guide brow pad is correctly positioned and not saturated; remove and wash the padding regularly to restore effectiveness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation system with 19 wide vents
  • Lightweight and durable fusion in-mold construction
  • Sweat Guide liner prevents eye irritation
  • Secure fit with adjustable retention system
  • Straps remain flat and stable

Cons

  • Does not include MIPS rotational impact protection
  • Limited to adult sizing
  • Basic aesthetic may not appeal to all riders

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your helmet, first place it on your head and use the rear-mounted Float Fit dial to snug the retention system around your occipital bone. The side straps should be adjusted using the No-Twist Tri-Glides so that the 'Y' shape sits just below your ears, ensuring the chin strap is tight enough to be secure but comfortable enough for long rides. For care, gently hand wash the padding with mild soap and water, and wipe the shell clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the polycarbonate shell or the integrity of the foam liner. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
