Product Information

Full details

The Bell Super DH Spherical MIPS is a premium, highly versatile full-face helmet designed for serious mountain bikers who tackle everything from technical downhill runs to long backcountry climbs. Its key benefit is the combination of Spherical Technology powered by MIPS for advanced rotational impact management and a tool-free removable chin bar that earns an ASTM 1952 downhill certification. A notable caveat for prospective buyers is that while it offers exceptional protection, its full-face configuration can feel warmer during high-exertion uphill pedaling compared to traditional open-face trail helmets, even with its integrated ventilation system.

How do I clean the padding?

The X-Static padding is removable and can be hand washed in cold water with a mild detergent.

Does the camera mount break away in a crash?

Can the visor be adjusted while riding?

Troubleshooting

Chin bar does not click into place securely

Check the locking mechanisms on both sides for debris or mud buildup and ensure they are fully aligned before engaging the lock.

Helmet feels loose or wobbly

Re-adjust the Float Fit DH dial at the back and ensure the interior padding is properly snapped into the mounting points.

Fidlock buckle is difficult to engage

Ensure the magnetic components are clean and free of metallic dust or grime that might prevent the magnets from seating perfectly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dual-certification versatility for DH and trail riding
  • Superior energy management via Spherical MIPS technology
  • Highly convenient tool-free chin bar removal
  • Excellent ventilation for a full-face helmet design
  • Goggle-friendly eye port and adjustable visor

Cons

  • Heavier than dedicated open-face trail helmets
  • Can be warm for slow-paced, humid climbs
  • Requires proper fit adjustment to avoid shifting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum safety, start by adjusting the `Float Fit DH` system at the rear until the helmet sits snugly but comfortably on your head without creating pressure points. The visor height can be adjusted to accommodate goggles when not in use. Always verify that the chin bar is clicked securely into the locking mechanisms before engaging in downhill runs.

For cleaning, remove the comfort liners and hand wash them in cold water with mild soap. Do not submerge the helmet shell; instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the integrity of the EPS foam. If the helmet is involved in a significant impact, it must be replaced immediately as the protective liner may have reached its structural capacity.
