FAQs
What is Mips Evolve Technology?
Mips Evolve is a safety system integrated into the helmet. It includes a low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the head from angled impacts, providing an additional layer of protection.
How do I clean my Bell Nomad 2 Mips helmet?
Clean the helmet with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Allow it to air dry completely before storing or using.
What size should I get?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by BELL, which usually involves measuring your head circumference. The Nomad 2 Mips typically comes in sizes like M/L, which corresponds to a specific range of head circumferences.
Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?
While the Nomad 2 Mips is primarily designed for trail and mountain biking with its enhanced coverage and features, it meets safety certifications (CE EN1078) and can be used for road cycling if the user prefers its fit and protection profile.
How do I adjust the fit system?
The Ergo Fit™ system uses a dial located at the back of the helmet. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen for a secure and comfortable fit.
What does 'Fusion In-Mold Polycarbonate Shell' mean?
This construction method fuses the outer polycarbonate shell with the impact-absorbing EPS foam liner during the molding process. This creates a stronger, lighter, and more integrated helmet structure.
Can I remove the visor?
Yes, the visor is designed to be removable. This allows you to customize the helmet's look and function based on your riding conditions and preferences.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the Ergo Fit™ dial at the back of the helmet for a tighter fit. Ensure the side straps are positioned correctly under your ears and the chin strap is snug.
Straps are uncomfortable or twist easily
Re-adjust the No-Twist Tri-Glides™ to ensure the straps lie flat against your face and neck. Check that the Y-split is correctly positioned below the ears.
Helmet feels too hot during rides
Ensure the vents are not obstructed. For very hot conditions, consider shorter rides or riding during cooler parts of the day, as this is a trail-focused helmet designed for airflow but extreme heat can still be a factor.
Visor is difficult to attach/remove
The visor typically snaps into place. Ensure you are aligning the attachment points correctly and applying firm, even pressure. Refer to the product manual or online videos for specific guidance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Adjust the Fit System: Turn the dial on the rear Ergo Fit™ system clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit that does not move excessively when shaking your head.
- Position Straps: Use the No-Twist Tri-Glides™ to adjust the side straps so they form a 'Y' shape just below your earlobes. Adjust the chin strap for a secure, comfortable fit – typically, one finger should fit between the strap and your chin.
- Attach Visor (Optional): If desired, the removable visor can be attached or detached according to user preference and trail conditions.
Compatibility:
The Bell Nomad 2 Mips is designed to fit most adult head sizes within its specified range (e.g., M/L). It is certified under CE EN1078 standards, ensuring it meets safety requirements for cycling helmets in relevant regions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the helmet materials.
- Visor Cleaning: Clean the visor with a soft cloth and water. Do not use solvents.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or frayed straps. If significant damage is found, the helmet should be replaced.
