Bell Stratus MIPS

MIPS stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System. It is a slip-plane layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain angled impacts, providing an extra layer of safety beyond standard impact protection.

The Float Fit system uses a rubber-overmolded dial at the back of the helmet that you can easily turn with one hand. It adjusts both the circumference and the vertical position, allowing you to fine-tune the fit while you are already on the bike.

The Stratus features No-Twist Tri-Glides, which are specialized strap guides designed to keep the webbing flat and properly positioned against your face. This prevents the straps from bunching up or twisting, ensuring they stay comfortable and secure throughout your ride.

Yes, the Overbrow Ventilation system is specifically designed to pull cool air through the front of the helmet and channel it across your head. This active cooling helps prevent overheating during intense climbs or long rides in high temperatures.

The Sweat Guide pad is designed to pull moisture away from the brow pad and away from your eyewear. This helps keep sweat from dripping into your eyes or onto your glasses, which is particularly helpful during high-exertion efforts.

While it is categorized as a road helmet, its aerodynamic profile and ventilation make it highly versatile for gravel riding as well. It offers the lightweight performance and safety features needed for mixed-terrain riding where comfort and protection are priorities.
