Great helmet

- Rudger, 30 May, 2021

Helmet sat right away, doesn't pinch anywhere and finds it quite light. Visor is adjustable and can only be removed by unscrewing. Strap is very short, had to slide out as much as possible. But no problems with wearing it.

Pros & Cons

Good fit
MIPS
Not too big
Straps nicely concealed
Sturdy visor
Very short strap

Fantastic helmet for the money

- Stephen, 29 July, 2020

Very happy with my new Bell 4Forty, glad I went for the Matt gray/red colour. Looks great and lie my current Bell helmet, if fits perfectly, nice padding and a good weight. As this helmet has MIPS, should offer great crash protection, but hopefully I won’t have to leave a review about it!

Aesthetically pleasing, lightweight and safe - that's how I feel about this helmet after a week's mountain biking!

- Philippe, 25 July, 2020

I would have preferred it in blue to match my mountain bike! A plus would have been a built-in UV screen....

Ahead of the competition

- Mick, 12 July, 2020

An Enduro helmet that offers fantastic all round protection without costing the earth. The compromise for this ? Nothing. It’s a great lid. I tend to overheat especially on climbs. No issues whilst wearing this. Goggle compatible - sunglasses storage. Looks good too What’s not to like

Excellent helmet

- Peter, 10 July, 2020

I'm on the large/medium size overlap. Definitely go for medium if you're around 59cm. Great helmet

Great helmet for hot days

- Jonathan, 13 June, 2020

I usually wear a full face, but the combination of lockdown-related closure of my local bike parks and unusually high temperatures for spring in the U.K. meant that I was in the market for a new open face helmet. My main requirements were decent protection for trail riding, good sweat management and a price that wouldn’t break the bank. This helmet fits the bill on all three, with one real standout feature: a pad that directs sweat away from your eyes and face. It works really well, and is a feature that few other helmets have. I think only the Specialized Angi and Oakley DRT5 have similar sweat management, and they’re both considerably more expensive. It also works perfectly with goggles and is pretty well ventilated.

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Great sweat management
MIPS liner
Well priced
Well ventilated
None so far

Excellent overall head protection for the money

- Walter, 18 May, 2020

Very good helmet overall in terms of value for money. Aesthetics are really nice and although color options may not suit everyone, I really like the light grey/red option, that looks even better than in the pictures. The sweat guide seems to be working fine and the ventilation is really good. Only drawbacks so far, are a sharp edge on the chin strap clip, that pinches that area, and holding the shades in the holes is a bit complicated. Other than that, completely satisfied with the product so far.

Pros & Cons

Build quality
Looks/aesthetics
MIPS system for the price
A bit difficult to stick sunglasses in the holes
Chin strap clip has a sharp edge

Superb fit and the dial makes it perfect for all head sizes.

- Andrew, 11 May, 2020

Excellent fit and using the dial to customise it for your own head shape means it’s almost unnoticeable when you are out and about.

Good quality

- John, 11 September, 2019

This is my first MIPs helmet so still getting used to the MIPS fit. Build quality is very good. Only reason I haven't given higher score is I find the front of the helmet that goes across your forehead gets very sweaty and has a tendency to push down onto my sunnies. I appreciate this is a very strong part of the helmet designed for safety but find it hot compared to other helmets I've had.

Pros & Cons

Good fit
Good quality build
Seaty accross forehead

Good value entry to MIPS

- Jan, 1 August, 2019

Nice helmet. It's a bit tricky to get the fit perfect so that the helmet sits in the same position whilst riding. Nice and comfortable of medium weight. The visor can be raised or lowered but essentially only has the the extreme positions. It's also easy for the visor to look crooked. Probably not the coolest for ventilation but as I swapped to eMTB at the same time it's much less of an issue and pushing the peak up helps direct more air in. Like the availability of replacement padding although couldn't find the correct matching colour but that's minor.

Pros & Cons

Colour
Moveable visor
Price
Style
Can slip whilst riding unless quite tight
Medium ventilation
Only two positions for visor
