Bell Super DH Spherical Fullface helmet S (52-56cm) mat/gloss black/white fasthouse

The Super DH MIPS® is ready for World Cup downhill runs, bike park laps until the lifts close, or endless hours in the backcountry in search of the perfect untouched singletrack. This is made possible by the additional protection of the MIPS® Spherical technology, the 360° chin bar, which can be removed without tools but is tough enough to meet the tough demands. The downhill helmet offers lots of features such as a large field of vision with enough space for your sunglasses or goggles, a height-adjustable visor, clickable camera mount, overbrow ventilation and X-Static padding as well as a fit that is second to none. The end result is uncompromising protection and performance, as well as unparalleled versatility.

Fusion In-Mold Polycarbonate Shell
The EPS foam is injected into the thin microshell shell while it's still in the mold (or "mold," which explains the name) rather than molding it separately and then gluing it on later. This process was first introduced by Bell and is now the standard for all demanding helmets.

Float Fit™
Bell's most advanced helmet fitting system combines comfort and safety in an ultra-lightweight design. Float Fit™ optimizes the fit of the helmet in 2 ways - head circumference and vertical adjustment. To reduce weight and simplify usability, the guide arms enclose the back of the head in a unique way thanks to the “Float” design. This puts the helmet in an ideal position on the head. Simple, light and comfortable.

Spherical Technology
MIPS Spherical is the evolution of the Multi-Directional Impact Protection system. Manufactured in the typical design, the two layers of dual-density EPP foam act as a kind of hinge that can move a few millimeters in any direction, effectively reducing rotational energy at certain impact angles.

Progressive layering
A two-layer construction of the inner helmet with EPS foam of different degrees of hardness, which can better absorb and distribute the impact energy

XT2® pads
The X-Static XT2® pads are woven with silver threads. Fast-drying and antibacterial, they work against odors. In addition, the X-Static® pads give the driver a cooling feeling when it is hot and a warming feeling when it is cold thanks to their thermal properties.

Fidlock®
The FIDLOCK® magnetic closure closes automatically and can be easily opened again with just two fingers by pushing it sideways. Operation with just one hand is quick and effortless, even when wearing gloves.

GoggleGuide™
An adjustable visor system that works with goggles or sunglasses, whether the visor is on or off.

MIPS
The MIPS® safety system was developed to provide additional protection for helmets in numerous accidents. In certain impact situations, the MIPS system can reduce dangerous forces that might otherwise be transmitted to the helmet wearer's head.

1. Conventional helmets are designed and tested for a straight impact. In most cases, however, the impact is at an angle, which can cause rotational movements for the head.

2. This rotational movement can cause brain injury.

3. The low-friction shell is designed to help reduce rotational movement of the head in certain cases of angled impact.

Straight impact - oblique impact

The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational movement than linear movement because it has a shear strength similar to that of water or gel. When rotational movement causes different parts of the brain to move at different times, the tissues can be stretched, causing concussions or other brain injuries.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussion and more serious brain injury from an oblique impact to the head. The MIPS system consists of a low-friction shell that is fixed inside the helmet. The low-friction shell is designed to slide slightly inside the helmet in the event of an accident, allowing forces to be directed away from the head. It is said to help reduce the risk of brain injuries.

Most conventional helmets are designed for a straight impact, but in most cases the impact is at an angle. The low-friction shell can reduce the rotational forces of an oblique impact.

Security system with the brain as a model

Unlike conventional helmets, which are primarily designed and tested for a straight impact, the low-friction shell of the MIPS system mimics the brain's own protection system against rotational movement. The cerebrospinal fluid is our natural defense system that allows the brain to move offset to the skull.
