MIPS
MIPS is a sliding plane system within the helmet designed to slow or prevent the amount of energy that is transmitted to or from the head.
IN-Mold
In the in-mold construction, the robust polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to it in a single pass during foaming of the impact absorbing EPS inner shell. This makes the helmet even more resistant without any additional weight. This production process also makes it possible to form significantly better ventilation systems and openings. In-Mold helmets are lighter than traditional helmets and have much better ventilation systems.
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 - in terms of head circumference and vertical adjustment. To reduce weight and simplify handling, the guide arms uniquely enclose the back of the head thanks to the "float" design. This puts the helmet in an ideal position on the head. Simple, light and comfortable.
Goggle Guide
An adjustable visor system that works with goggle or sunglasses, whether the visor is mounted or removed.

The helmet looks almost white on a screen but is actually quite more darker grey. Fitting and adjusting is fine, general quality is OK except some details (visor screws made of plastic... won't last long). Would have expected better finishing for that range.
Super I love it
Die Passform ist Anfangs etwas klein. Habe bei Kopfumfang 58cm Gr. M gewählt. Aber nach mehrerem Tragen kann ich ein durchweg gutes Resume ziehen. Der Helm ist durch das Float Fit einfach und sicher einzustellen, sehr angenehm zu tragen ohne jegliche Druckstellen und gut belüftet. Das Visier ist problemlos höhenverstellbar und wirkt robust und langlebig. Dafür klare 5 Sterne von mir!!!
Very good build, very comfortable, stable visor, good ventilation. Accurate sizing (S fits 55 cm, M fits 57 cm). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPu20qWOMfE
Sehr angenehm zu tragen, konnte sich bei mir bei insgesamt 5 verschiedenen Modellen durchsetzen. Im Gegensatz zu einer vorherigen Bewertung kann ich sagen, dass er real genauso gut aussieht, wie hier abgebildet.
