Highly recommended
A compact loud bell that is easy to mount and where you can rotate the clapper to another place.

Good sound.
The bell makes a nice sound and can be heard well by everyone. It is not so easy to attach. I had to stretch the elastic well first because it is on the short side. I attached the bell, facing me, to my handlebars. This way it does not stand out and is very easy to operate.

Does perfectly what it is intended for.
Have these on several bikes can also be upside down out of sight on the handlebars.

Doesn't quite live up to expectations, unfortunately.
After 5km of cycling in the Ardennes, this one keeps ringing. The upside, though, is that everyone gets out of the way

Prima bel
Het is een prima bel, maar het elastieken bandje waarmee je hem monteert is een beetje kort. Ik kon hem daardoor niet om de reguliere plek bevestigen.

The bell is optimal
It used to annoy me to always shout on the cycle path (caution - attention). Now I ring the bell once and it is heard and those riding next to each other make way.

Fine bell with loud sound
A bell that does fine what it is meant for. The elastic band could have been a bit bigger, as I had to use a lot of force to get it around the handlebars. Would have thought it would be a bit easier to put on, hence one star less.

Fine, compact, and easily audible bell!
Great bell that makes everyone pull over for you when you drive by at breakneck speed. ;-)

Solid bell with loud sound
Finally, I seem to have a decent bell in my hands. My Knog was and is not much more. The sound also seems really loud enough to me now so that even older people will hear it.

Loud bell, solid product.
Good bell, hope it stays in place for a long time with elastic.

Good bike bell
A fine bike bell that is easy to mount and emits a thunderously loud sound when used.

Loud and clear bell
Excellent bell, I can be heard well from far away. The bell was perhaps a bit bigger than I expected, but I don't find it disturbing. With the elastic attachment, the bell is nice and tight. There are three slots where the elastic hooks in according to how tight you want the bell.

Neat bell that is not too conspicuous on your bike

Perfectly loud bell
Because of the large clapper(?) of this bell, I can find it easily from any cycling position. I regularly tap the bell to warn people around me that they will be overtaken at about 20-35 km/h difference in speed very soon. This bell is very loud and ensures that appalling schoolchildren, swaying mobility scooters and people walking their dogs (on a leash) along the cycle path can hear me and take account of me. And my brake pads (and front teeth) are spared.

Loud and small
This bell notifies the most hard-of-hearing e-biker of your arrival: the bell makes a clear sound. Its small design also means the bell virtually disappears against the handlebar tube. However, it did take a lot of effort to attach the bell because of the very tight elastic band that came with it.

Great bell that is easy to hear. Easy to mount with included elastic rubber straps.

Better than BBB
Have been riding with the well-known BBB bell for years. But not loud enough and in the process the construction rattles. This XLC Decibel is really the only alternative. Seems clunkier at first, but on the bike it looks even more streamlined. (Placed behind the spacers.) But most importantly; the sound of this bell is a lot more penetrating/louder. You can also rotate the lever 360 degrees and the construction is much sturdier. Rubber elastic is very tight though. Used the old one from the BBB bell.

Great bell
Fine bell, volume is sufficient. Tends to make a whistling sound in headwinds.

5 / 5
Safely on the road
I too rode without one for too long. But this one does not stand out among steerers and it is so much easier, safer and more sociable to overtake others.... appreciated.
