 Great helmet, but...... 
 27 Oct 2025 by Peter F 
I love Bell Helmets. As I've just bought an ADV bike I thought I'd get the helmet to go with it. It's super comfortable and wind noise is as expected for an ADV helmet (which is to say fairly noisy). The major issue (which almost prompted me to return it to Sportsbikeshop) is an incredibly loud hammering from the peak. My God, it was so distracting it was DANGEROUS, The problem is the two 'floating' 'arms' that come from the peak and lie over the helmet. They are not attached to the shell but at speeds above about 55 mph they drum incredibly noisily on the shell. I don't know how this ever passed Bell testing?? I didn't send it back as I was determined to fix it. I placed felt strips under the "arms' and then bought strips of lead tape which I placed on the underside of the peak to prevent 'flutter'. This has worked and I'm happy with the helmet but why should I have to resort to this Heath Robinson approach?? C'mon Bell, I expect FAR more from an old, experienced helmet maker......

 Very comfy Helmet

Very comfy Helmet.
Only Two niggles (1) I can’t tilt the peak down enough to block out the low sun with limited adjustment, like I use to with my previous Bell MX helmet (2) No option for a pull own tinted visor
Other than that, a great adventure helmet at great price, comfy no fog up Yet !

 Simple and effective 
 15 Aug 2025 by Julian M 
Yup, just like me. Stylish, well priced, straightforward, comfortable, also comfortable wearing glasses and although the wind obviously catches the peak at speed on my unfaired speedy bike that isn't what it's for. On my slower off roader it's fine and also no probs on my Tiger at speed with the effective windscreen. Classic name too from biking history.

 Hell of a helmet

Bought this for my partner who is notoriously picky when it comes to helmets.....I was fully expecting to have to return this but she loves it and it fits perfectly. A great looking piece of kit, brilliantly priced and accurate sizing.

Great design and as light as can be expected the price point. Bell helmets never let me down, they fit my head perfectly so I always feel confident purchasing online. Really competitively priced.

 Great value for money. Quality product.

I bought the similar helmet around 6+ years ago so I figured it was time to buy a fresh helmet.
The fit on the new one is a little more snug and apart from that I'm expecting the same quality protection.

 Top pick for this style of lid 
 28 Jun 2025 by Tom D 
Great fit. Nice and roomy with fantastic visibility. Can be used with peak or without. Can also be used with visor only, goggles only, or both together, great for on the trails when with road sections between.
Venting is good but it's noisy as hell. Not an issue if you're bumbling around but awful on fast roads.

 Sound quality for the price 
 20 Jun 2025 by Stevo 
Love the colours, with plenty more to choose from at the same price as the plain helmets. Its a comfortable fit without the padding pressing in at any single point. Not the most feature rich helmet, but everything needed at this price point and the quality is good.

 Comfortable, secure, great visor and no fogging. 
 21 Mar 2025 by Stephen B 
As SBS had a no brainer offer on I thought I'd give it a try to see if the peak was effective against the low winter sun. Not too successful I'm afraid. However, last time I tried a Bell on my oval head (I dunno. 15 years ago maybe?) it was completely the wrong shape. Encouraged by another review here I tried again and this one is a super fit on my oval, better than my Arais. OK, its a bit heavy, 1600g without the peak but it feels good, doesn't move about (without the peak of course) and the visor is fantastic, very chunky and optically perfect working fine with my polaroid specs. Talking of specs, it does a better job of locating my glasse than either Shoei or Arai manage. I think I might be a convert.

Bought this helmet for the colder mths of the yr, &when on travel adventure on my 701enduro, I already on the Bell mx 9 off rd helmet for greenlaning,have been pleased with that, but the joy of having a visor in colder mths is better than a wet cold face of a goggled mx helmet, usual sportsbike shop delivery times and prices.

 Fine quality helmet 
 03 Mar 2025 by Chris T 
I picked up this helmet in the sale and for the price its very good. Bell has a long standing reputation in the helmet market so I guess they know their stuff.
The lining is one of the most uncomplicated to remove that I've come across. The helmet feels heavy in your hands but ok when fitted. I wanted an adventure helmet but knew I wouldn't wear it often over my other helmet so didn't want to spend big bucks. This ticks all the boxes. Snug & comfy and seems to be very good quality.

So pleased with this purchase when I unboxed it, great colour combo, excellent quality and comfort. Perhaps a little joist at speed but this is my first touring helmet, usually wearing full face. Would definitely recommend and never seen another!

 Excellent service and price

Can't fault the service from SPORTSBIKESHOP.CO.UK. Helmet delivered as scheduled and at a great price, lowest I could find for the same helmet. The helmet is surprisingly light for the size, a comfy fit and looks stylish. Fogging hasn't been an issue. A step from my Bell Moto 3 I raced in during the early 1980s.
