FAQs
What is SLID technology?
SLID stands for Sliding Layer Impact Distribution, an internal system designed to mitigate rotational brain injuries during an impact.
How do I clean the interior of the Bellus helmet?
Since it uses the COOLPATH system rather than traditional foam pads, simply wipe the internal structure with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Is the Bellus helmet suitable for gravel riding?
While primarily designed for road cycling aerodynamics, its ventilation and safety features make it highly functional for light gravel use.
Does this helmet come with a visor?
No, the Bellus is a dedicated road cycling helmet and does not include a visor.
What is the weight of the helmet?
The HJC Bellus is feather-light, weighing approximately 225g.
Can I adjust the fit while riding?
The SELFIT system is automatic, but for major size adjustments, you should utilize the 5-step snap fit settings while the helmet is off.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even with the SELFIT system engaged
Adjust the 5-step snap fit position to a tighter setting to ensure the cradle sits lower on the occipital bone.
Straps are rubbing against ears
Adjust the position of the wide dividers until the intersection of the straps sits comfortably below the earlobe.
Accumulated debris inside the air channels
Use compressed air or a soft brush to carefully dislodge dirt and insects from the vents to maintain airflow efficiency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your helmet, first utilize the 5-step snap fit feature to adjust the internal cradle to your head shape. The SELFIT system will then automatically engage to provide a snug, secure fit once the helmet is placed on your head. Use the adjustable wide dividers to ensure the strap geometry sits comfortably around your ears. For care, keep the polycarbonate shell clean by wiping with a mild soapy solution and a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the EPS foam or the SLID components. Always inspect the helmet for signs of damage or wear after any impact.
