Bell Event MIPS Helmet

MIPS, or Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is a slip-plane layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces during certain types of impacts. It allows the helmet to slide slightly relative to your head, which helps dissipate energy that might otherwise be transferred to your brain.

Yes, it is designed for both cross-country racing and trail riding. The 22 vents and Overbrow Ventilation system are specifically engineered to keep air moving across your forehead, which helps prevent overheating during long, strenuous climbs.

The TAG fit system allows you to adjust the helmet's fit both around the circumference of your head and vertically at the base of your skull. This dual-adjustment capability helps you achieve a secure, stable fit that prevents the helmet from rocking while you ride.

Yes, the helmet features a variable position visor. You can adjust its angle to block out sun glare or trail debris, and it can be removed entirely if you prefer a sleeker look or better visibility for specific riding conditions.

Yes, the Bell Event MIPS is certified to meet both CE EN1078 and CPSC Bicycle safety standards, ensuring it meets the necessary requirements for impact protection in both Europe and the United States.

At 312 grams, this helmet sits in the mid-range for weight. While there are lighter, more expensive carbon-fiber options available for pure racing, this weight is well-balanced for a helmet that prioritizes both durability and ventilation for everyday trail use.
