The Good:

Absorbs a hell of an impact
Great rear head coverage
Fit is good
Great sweat management
Visor stays put
Safe

The Bad:

Notta. I’ll be replacing my crash test approved sixer with a new sixer

Overall Review: Got cross rutted and ended up slamming the back of my head on some very very hard dirt. Helmet did it’s job. Can’t find any cracks but the impact area foam is definitely compressed.  Was able to ride out and get some medical help. Minor concussion. Fit system work great. Kept the lid in p...

The Good:

Fits amazing
nice colors magnetic cheek pads
ears space

The Bad:

no extra visor
light gray interior gets dirty easy

Overall Review: I had this helmet for about a year and I had only used it in small falls until last week where I had the biggest blow to my head in 10+ years of downhill and enduro racing. After a couple of seconds lying on the floor checking that nothing was broken and that the medical staff checked me up, I g...

What Do Riders Think? Eight Half-Shell Helmets Reviewed by Vital MTB Members (feature story)

Posted by bturman on 10/16/2018 10:58 AM

The Good:

Excellent sweat management system; great ventilation

The Bad:

Can feel a little snug/tight on the head compared to some others

Overall Review: For years I've relied on a headband with a silicone sweat gutter to keep the salt out of my eyes while riding. This is the first helmet I've found that successfully keeps sweat out of my eyes (and off of my glasses) with no assistance. Bell nailed the ventilation, and the "Sweat Guide" padding a...
