FAQs
What type of riding is the Bell Sanction 2 helmet best suited for?
The Bell Sanction 2 is specifically designed for downhill, BMX, and bike park riding due to its full-face protection and robust construction.
How do I clean the helmet's padding?
The cheek pads are removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting. The main padding inside the helmet can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
What are the safety certifications for this helmet?
The Bell Sanction 2 is certified to CPSC bicycle helmet standards for persons aged 5 and older, as well as ASTM 1952 DH and ASTM 2032 BMX safety standards.
Is this helmet suitable for trail riding or cross-country?
While it offers excellent protection, its weight and full-face design make it less ideal for climbing-intensive trail or cross-country riding compared to lighter, open-face helmets.
How heavy is the Bell Sanction 2 helmet?
The approximate weight is 1040g for a size Medium.
Can I adjust the visor?
Yes, the Flying Bridge visor is designed to improve airflow and flexibility, and can be adjusted to some extent.
Are replacement parts available for the padding?
While not explicitly stated, check with the manufacturer or authorized retailers for the availability of replacement cheek pads or other padding kits.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight/loose.
Adjust the strap tension. If the fit is still not right, remove the cheek pads for a looser feel or ensure they are properly seated for a snugger fit.
Padding feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the cheek pads are correctly installed. If discomfort persists, consider if the helmet size is appropriate for your head shape. The cheek pads are removable for washing and reinstallation.
Difficulty seeing peripheral vision.
Adjust the helmet's position on your head and ensure the straps are not obstructing your view. While full-face helmets inherently have reduced peripheral vision, proper fit is crucial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Bell Sanction 2 comes ready to wear. The primary adjustment involves ensuring the straps are correctly fastened and snug. The removable cheek pads can be taken out for washing or to achieve a slightly looser fit around the cheeks.
Compatibility: This helmet is designed for adult riders and is certified for use in downhill cycling, BMX, and bike park riding. It is compatible with most standard neck braces, although individual fit may vary.
Care: To clean the helmet, use a damp cloth and mild soap for the exterior and padding. The removable cheek pads can be hand-washed with mild soap and water and should be allowed to air dry completely before reinserting. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's materials. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
