Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It fits so well that for now i am skipping anchoring it with a zip tie. It fits well and has the adjusting knob in the back. Fits comfortably and has good adjustment mechanisms.

The large helmet adjusts from 58-62 cm and weighs 325 grams. While i did have a bump on my head, i shudder to think how bad it would have been if my head actually made contact with the ground.

The bell formula bicycle helmet is both cpsc bicycle and ce en1078 certified. It has a twist-to-adjust * at the back to customize the fit to one's personal comfort preference. Ventilation is excellent for our hot, humid road and mtb rides.

Whether you buy this helmet at msrp or on sale the helmet is a great entry level helmet. Great value for the money. Affordable mips helmet.



Cons

Helmet without pads is useless! Production description inaccurate. It's better to buy at a store where you can see the the manufacture date.

Highlights

Quality


The helmet is well finished and comfortable and it still looks almost brand new after about 10,000 miles of riding.


Been a fan of bell for a few years due to great protection and weight.


This helmet got five starts during the first two years of wear, but suddenly the fit dial became sticky, soft and unusable.


It appears that the rubber coating on the dial became sticky and gooey after being exposed to heat in a hot car.

Price


I did this since the $25 is a terrific price and the bright colors should help with visibility and match some parts of my current bike.


Overall, i am really loving this helmet and think it is a good value for what you are getting.


Also, for a mips helmet at the $25 the yellow was when i bought it is basically unheard of.


So $25 for three years of use is more than worth it to me.

Shipping


I also appreciated that the seller shipped so quickly.

Competitiveness


Bell's recent innovations led me to try switching brands.


It fits better than several of my more expensive helmets and provides fantastic ventilation.


The style is like some of the higher end models just not as light, however it is light compared to some other makers i have.


The monza was a higher priced helmet but weight wise they are exactly the same, coming in exactly as the specs said.

    I have a large head i wear a 7 34 fitted hat and i have foubd a lot of helmets sit high

    I will say the plastic strap for the adjuster does show on the side if you have a large head because it’s expanded further then average


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have bought a half dozen helmets and i have never liked even one helmet until now


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I went with large but could have gone medium and opened up the cinch nechanism and probably pulled that off if i wanted a smaller look
