Bell Trace 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 compared to standard helmets.

Yes, the Bell Trace is designed as a versatile half-shell helmet. Its extended rear coverage offers the extra protection often preferred for mountain biking, while the ventilation and lightweight build make it comfortable for urban commuting and recreational road riding.

The Ergo Fit system allows you to adjust the fit of the helmet with a single hand using a dial at the back. It is designed to be intuitive and quick, ensuring you can secure the helmet comfortably while on the go.

The helmet features No-Twist Tri-Glides, which are designed to keep the straps flat and properly positioned. This helps prevent the annoying twisting and bunching often found with standard helmet strap systems.

With 16 vents, the helmet provides significant airflow to help manage your temperature. While it is not as ventilated as a dedicated high-end racing helmet, it is more than sufficient for general commuting and recreational trail riding.
