Ultimate Protection and Style: 🚴 BELL 4Forty MIPS Adult Mountain Bike Helmet Review

The pads are less than a year old and the pads are worn. I called Bell and they said pads were out of stock! How is it that the helmet padding kits sold by BELL and AMAZON are not available? Bell referred me to a company called Weber Sports who confirmed that the 4Forty pad sets were DISCONTINUED and Bell then told me to look to Revain for "universal" pad sets where you "cut" the pads to match your helmet. How can a "currently available" product be discontinued as a replacement pad? Because…

A few months ago I bought my first bike with this helmet. After several rides I crashed for the first time and quite hard. I hurt my shoulder, hurt a few ribs and totally messed up my quads. Luckily for me I would have been in the hospital with at least one concussion, if not something worse, if I hadn't been wearing a quality helmet. I hit my head on a rock and the worst I had was a small bruise near my eyebrow. The helmet was dented and the foam was cracked so it was compromised but it did…

As promised, the "slide" wicks sweat away from my forehead. Really cool feature that you won't appreciate until you…

I was looking for an open face MTB helmet with a visor long enough to fit my action camera underneath. I took a chance with this Bell 4Forty and it worked fantastic! The visor is long enough and has enough room and movement to lift the action cam out of my line of sight. Only thing is I had to add velcro to help with the extra weight. Now I don't have to worry about branches and/or brushes hitting the top mounted cam and knocking it off. The Bell 4Forty is also a great helmet for the price with

I really like the fit of this helmet. Most descriptions from bicycle helmet manufacturers do not take the shape of the rider's head into account. I've found that most of them are designed for a round head shape and an intermediate oval at best. Describing the shape of a head and making a helmet out of it is a common practice for motorcycle helmet manufacturers. In motorcycle helmets I have what is known as a long oval head. The hat size I wear is 7 5/8 to 7 3/4. I am approx. 61.5 cm tall, due…
