Bell Sanction 2 Helmet

While this helmet is specifically engineered for BMX and dirt jumping, it is ASTM F1952 certified, meaning it meets the safety standards required for downhill mountain biking. However, its lightweight, low-profile design is optimized for the specific demands of jumps and park riding rather than long-duration enduro or heavy-duty downhill racing.

The Fidlock buckle uses a magnetic slide mechanism that allows you to secure and release the chin strap with one hand, even while wearing gloves. It is significantly faster and easier to operate than traditional double-D ring closures.

Yes, the Ionic+ antimicrobial liner is designed to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, which helps keep the helmet fresher for longer between washes. Combined with the quick-drying padding, it is effective at managing sweat during high-intensity sessions.

At 850 grams, the Sanction 2 DLX is quite lightweight for a full-face helmet. This reduced mass is intentional, designed to minimize neck fatigue during the repetitive, high-energy movements common in BMX and dirt jumping.

Yes, the helmet features Flying Bridge Visor Technology, which is a flexible design that allows for easy adjustment. This system not only helps with positioning but also improves airflow into the helmet's 14 vents.

Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane layer inside the helmet that allows the shell to slide slightly during an angled impact. This technology is designed to reduce the rotational forces transmitted to your brain, providing an extra layer of safety beyond standard impact protection.
