Bell 4Forty 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 protect your brain from the damaging energy often caused by angled hits.

Yes, it is designed with 15 generous vents to promote airflow and keep you cool during climbs. Additionally, it features a specialized sweat guide that channels moisture away from your eyes, preventing stinging during high-exertion efforts.

Absolutely. The Float Fit system uses a rubberized dial that is specifically designed to be easy to grip and adjust, even when you are wearing full-finger mountain bike gloves.

The extended rear coverage offers more protection for the lower back of your head, which is a vulnerable area during trail riding accidents. This design provides significantly more peace of mind and safety than a standard road or commuter helmet that sits higher on the skull.

The visor is adjustable, allowing you to customize its position to block the sun or clear your line of sight. While it is designed to be functional on the trail, it is not intended to be fully removed.

Yes, the Bell 4Forty MIPS is certified to both CE EN1078 and U.S. CPSC safety standards, ensuring it meets rigorous testing requirements for bicycle helmets.
