Product Information

Full details

The Bell Super Air R MIPS is a premium, versatile full-face helmet designed for serious mountain bikers who require both downhill protection and cross-country breathability. Its standout feature is the 2-click removable chin bar, allowing riders to switch seamlessly between a full-face setup for technical descents and an open-face configuration for climbing; however, riders should note that the removable chin bar adds a small degree of complexity to the overall assembly compared to traditional fixed helmets.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the chin bar easy to remove while riding?

It is designed to be removed or attached easily with two clicks, but it is recommended to stop and dismount to ensure it is properly locked before riding again.

Does this helmet meet downhill safety standards?

It is certified to CPSC Bicycle and CE EN1078 standards, which cover general cycling safety. It is not specifically certified for professional downhill racing.

Can I wear goggles with this helmet?

Yes, the GoggleGuide adjustable visor allows you to stow your goggles safely when not in use.

How do I know if the Flex Spherical MIPS is working?

You will notice the inner layer of the helmet can move slightly independent of the outer shell. This is a design feature intended to redirect impact energy.

Is the padding machine washable?

It is highly recommended to hand wash the X-Static padding with mild detergent to preserve the silver fiber technology.

Troubleshooting

Chin bar feels loose after installation

Ensure both 'click' locking mechanisms are fully engaged. Check the attachment points for debris or mud that might prevent a secure lock.

Helmet shifting during aggressive riding

Re-adjust the Float Fit dial at the rear and ensure the chin strap is tightened to the correct tension, sitting snugly against the jaw.

Persistent odor in padding

Remove the X-Static padding and wash it by hand. Ensure it is completely air-dried before re-installing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your helmet remains in top condition, follow these guidelines for setup and care:

Setup and Fit

  1. Loosen the rear Float Fit dial completely before putting the helmet on.
  2. Position the helmet level on your head, ensuring it covers the forehead.
  3. Tighten the rear dial until the fit is secure but comfortable.
  4. Adjust the chin straps so they form a 'V' shape just below the ears.

Compatibility

  • The helmet features an adjustable GoggleGuide visor that accommodates most standard mountain bike goggles.
  • The integrated camera mount is designed for common action cameras and features a breakaway function to reduce injury risk in a collision.

Care Instructions

  • Clean the helmet shell with a soft cloth and mild soap and water only.
  • Remove the X-Static pads periodically to hand-wash them with gentle detergent to maintain their anti-bacterial properties.
  • Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the structural integrity of the EPS foam.
