Bell’s Motocross helmet features

CoolJade™ Comfort Liners

Having a removable and washable liner is a must-have feature due to the high exposure to dirt, sweat, and debris involved in motocross. Bell’s MX helmets come equipped with antibacterial liners that are easy to remove and clean, helping to manage odor and prevent skin irritation. The CoolJade™ Comfort Liner, found in some Bell models, uses recycled jade fabric to create a cooling effect, reducing skin temperature and keeping riders comfortable.

MIPS and Spherical Technology™

Most Bell motocross helmets incorporate MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System), a technology designed to reduce rotational forces during impacts. How? MIPS works by allowing a small amount of controlled movement between the helmet's outer shell and the inner liner. Certain motocross such as Bell's Moto-10 incorporate Spherical Technology™. This feature powered by MIPS enhances impact absorption and protection for every ride.

Advanced Ventilation Systems

Ventilation is critical for motocross helmets. It plays a key part in keeping riders cool and preventing overheating. Our MX helmets feature strategically placed intake vents at the chin, forehead, and top of the head, paired with exhaust ports to promote efficient airflow. Models like the Moto-10 incorporate the Thermal Exchange Airflow System™ (T.E.A.S.), which creates a vacuum effect that draws in cool air while expelling hot air. This system ensures maximum cooling, even during the most intense riding sessions.

Size and Fit of your MX Helmet

Making sure your motocross helmet fits correctly is crucial, especially if you’re purchasing online. A well-fitted helmet stays securely in place during crashes and high-speed maneuvers, minimizing the risk of injury. On each of our helmets’ product pages, you will find a comprehensive guide to determine your helmet size effectively, and start riding as soon as you receive your purchase. At Bell Helmets, we offer various shell sizes and adjustable padding to help you find the perfect match, for both comfort and safety. But that’s not all. When you choose a motocross helmet, making sure it fits properly is also crucial. A well-fitted dirt bike helmet should not turn or shift once the chin strap is tightened. This will guarantee that the helmet stays in place during the most intense rides. When trying on your helmet, you should also make sure it is well-balanced. This will prevent any uncomfortable drag on your head, which could otherwise affect your control and concentration.

Ensuring a secure fit is paramount, and the last step to get back on track. Test for movement by rotating your head with the helmet on from side to side and tilting it. If the helmet moves independently of your head, it means it’s too loose. Always prioritize a secure, comfortable fit to maximize protection during your motocross adventures.
