Bell 4Forty MIPS Helmet

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.

Yes, the helmet features an adjustable Goggleguide visor. It is specifically designed to accommodate goggles when you are not wearing them, allowing you to slide them up and store them securely under the visor.

The Sweat Guide padding is positioned specifically at the brow of the helmet. It is designed to pull moisture away from your forehead and channel it away from your eyes, preventing sweat from dripping onto your glasses or into your vision during hard rides.

Yes, it is built for comfort during long rides. It features 15 vents for airflow, a lightweight construction at 340g, and a Float Fit system that allows you to easily adjust the fit with one hand using an oversized dial.

The extended rear shell provides additional coverage for the back of your head. This design offers increased protection for the lower skull area, which is a common impact zone during mountain biking crashes.

No, the helmet uses No-Twist Tri-Glides. These are designed to keep the straps flat and properly positioned against your face, preventing the annoyance of twisted webbing.
