Product Information
Full details
The HJC Bellus is a high-performance road cycling helmet designed for adult riders seeking an optimal balance of aerodynamics, safety, and ventilation. Featuring HJC’s innovative SLID (Sliding Layer Impact Distribution) technology to manage rotational forces and the unique COOLPATH airflow system, it offers professional-grade protection and comfort. While it excels in heat management and fit, users should note that the specialized fit system requires an initial adjustment period to dial in the personal preference for the automatic self-adjusting tension.

FAQs
What is SLID technology?
SLID stands for Sliding Layer Impact Distribution; it is an HJC technology designed to minimize rotational impact force on the brain during a crash.
How much does the helmet weigh?
The HJC Bellus is lightweight, weighing approximately 225g.
Do I need to manually adjust the dial every time?
No, the SELFIT system is an automatic adjustment feature that maintains a consistent tension once you have set the snap-fit positioning.
Can I replace the internal pads?
The BELLUS uses COOLPATH technology, which acts as the inner padding; these components are designed for specialized airflow and are not traditional soft foam pads.
Is this helmet safe for competitive racing?
Yes, the HJC Bellus is wind tunnel tested and built with an in-mold construction suitable for professional performance.
How do I clean the reflective stickers?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or vigorous scrubbing that could peel the reflective material.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose on the head
Adjust the 5-step snap fit internal settings to a tighter position to better conform to your specific head shape.
Fit system does not feel snug
Ensure the helmet is positioned level on the head; check that no hair or eyewear arms are interfering with the rear tensioner.
Ventilation feels blocked
Check that the COOLPATH airflow channels are free of debris and that the internal padding structure is correctly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, utilize the 5-step snap fit feature on the internal cradle to align the helmet with your occipital bone. Once the anchor points are set, the SELFIT system will automatically adjust to your head circumference each time you put it on. For maintenance, keep the helmet clean by wiping the outer shell with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could compromise the integrity of the in-mold shell. Ensure the helmet is stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use. Always inspect the straps and buckle for wear before every ride.
