Bell MX-9 Adventure Mips - Dash Gloss Black / Red

Very comfortable helmet and of a high quality for the price. Visor and peak are easy to remove/move. Excellent airflow though this will impact on Winter riding. Visibility is outstanding with the eye area design.

I was looking for a helmet for commuting and wanted an adventure style and hi-viz for safety and the Bell MX9 adventure fitted the bill. The hi-viz is bright but looks stylish at the same time (not something that you can usually say about Hi-viz helmets). The interior is plush and fitted true to size (I am a medium in Shoei and Arai helmets). It doesn't have a pin lock insert or even the posts to add one but in the limited riding I've done so far (cold and dry) pit's been ok with little fogging. It doesn't have a drop down internal sun visor but they were offering a free dark race visor…..or so I thought. Once the helmet arrived I was told (after I asked where it was) that it was out of stock and they were unable to supply it!! To be fair they allowed me to pick an alternative race visor (I took dark silver iridium) but not the look I was after but fair play to them. Just be aware that the listing still offers a dark smoke visor for free…..worth checking if it's important to you. All in a decent quality lid and I'm happy…..now where can I order a race black visor from……

Prompt delivery by SportsBikeShop, as ever. Comfortable fit, although quite tight on arms of glasses if you wear specs. Great helmet for off-road riding - as I found out the first time out, with three fairly significant falls while negotiating deep, muddy ruts. The lid protected my bonce well despite some rather heavy impacts with terra firma! Highly recommended.

Very good helmet ,not too bad on the noise front , my only note is that over 60 mph the peak catches the wind , this can be removed though so quess its down to the helmet style , all in all a nice well made helmet at a brilliant price .

A good purchase in my opinion - I wanted a reasonably priced peaked helm, and this delivered the bonus addition of awesome styling and the ability to combine with mx goggles. Fully satisfied.

This is my second bell and it did not disappoint. They are great value for money. I have a huge head and struggle to find good fits. I've always stuck to XXL shoei but since trying bells XXL they fit too and are very comfy. The only slight drawback on these mx9's is they are a tad heavy, but it doesn't affect my big dome.

The lid feels very comfortable, light and easy to wear from the start.
Quite noisy (hence no 5 start rating) but after fitting my intercom and putting in my plugs, it is fine.
I actually prefer wearing this to my touring helmet that cost 3 times a much.
I recommend it.

This helmet is ding ding, perfect fit,comfy. Nice to have a removable peak, the D ring is out but would be nice to have quick release buckle

First adventure lid, 300 miles in and I'm pleased with it, slightly heavier than my old Arai, but doesn't feel it when on your head, haven't noticed any buffeting from the peak and is oddly quiet when on the move, decent bell quality as expected and great value for the price only slight disappointment is that it doesn't come with pinlock although can be bought separately is almost the same price as the helmet itself

This helmet s vey comfortable and fits well , looks good and a good price , only negative it is dificult to get my glasses on!

Great helmet if you have a round-shaped head (I do) - I've also got Shark and Arai helmets and needed a replacement for my ageing Arai TourX. The Bell MX-9 is a very good and much cheaper replacement for the Arai - same fit, same level of comfort, similar weight and noise levels. I like the lower chin guard, the MIPS protection and the colours, but it needs a lower peak setting for when you're riding into a low sun. Other than that it would be EXCELLENT

As you can expect with a Bell helmet it is comfortable. Reasonably good looking if you like that kind of thing.
Visor is easy to use and plenty of ventilation when you want it.

As with Bells long history I expect it to do its job satisfactorily being of a Gold ACU standard.
