Overview
Bell built the Lithium MIPS as a sporty full face street helmet with a slip plane liner that lets the head move slightly in angled impacts. A drop down sun shield, four closable vents and a quick release shield cover changing light and heat.
Riders get rotational impact protection and a built in sun shade in one polycarbonate shell, with three shell sizes for a closer fit. The warranty is short at one year.
Who it's for
Sport and commuter riders who face glare and want rotational impact protection get both here. Riders who weigh warranty length heavily may want another brand.
Pros and cons
- MIPS rotational protection
- Drop-down sun shield
- Three shell sizes
- Only one year warranty
- Pinlock compatibility not stated
- Closure listed as hook and loop
Performance notes
The MIPS layer lets the liner shift a little against the head in angled hits, which reduces rotational force. Shell size choice limits how much padding is needed. Comfort in heat depends on opening the four vents, and the drop down shield cuts glare without a shield swap.
