Bell 4Forty MIPS

Mountain biking is a demanding sport — compromises and shortcuts when it comes to gear are never a good idea. The 4Forty is built to withstand the rigors of a trail-riding life with generous ventilation, the comfort of Float Fit and built-in Sweat Guide, extended rear coverage, a full hard shell, adjustable visor and integrated MIPS protection. Boasting the comfort, protection and broadly capable features of helmets costing twice as much, the 4Forty is a bantamweight, all-conditions, all-kinds-of-trail champion packing a heavyweight value. Specs – MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. – Construction: Fusion in-mold polycarbonate shell – a process pioneered by Bell bonds the helmet’s outer shell to the EPS foam liner to create a sturdier helmet. – Goggle-guide adjustable visor: accommodates both goggles and glasses – Number of vents: 15 – Interior/liner type: Sweat guide pad design pulls moisture away from the brow pad and away from eyewear – Fit system: Float Fit – a minimalist, lightweight fit system with an easy-to-turn rubber overmolded dial for adjustments (integrated with MIPS)
