BMX, freeride, slalom, four-cross, or downhill, this is the gravity lid du rigeur. The hand-laminated Drop was designed from the ground up by the same team that created Bell's now legendary Moto-8 motocross helmet, so you know it's gonna rip.

User Reviews about Bell Drop Bike Helmet
Don't believe "tiny helmeters" who say full face is going to be too hot. That's a myth for people who don't know (and I live in Florida where it's ALWAYS hot) It's going to be a bit heavier than a "regular helmet" but much more protection than those silly little things people are wearing at the tour de france.(and on the regular roads everywhere else) Of course it's bigger and if that's what you want, GET IT!
-- Looks Great, Feels Great
I tried on 4 different full faces before deciding on this one. The Giro Remedy, Troy Lee, Bellistic. None of them fit to the shape of my head as well as the Bell Drop. Note: a good fit is when you can't nod or shake your head (like you're saying no) when your head is in the helmet. My fit was so good that I couldn't do either, and also, I have to tip the helmet in order to drink from my camelbak.
Pro's:
- ASTM 1952 downhill biking certified
- Comfortable cushioning and pads
- Removable Washable liner
Con's:
- Be sure to mount your visor according to instructions (with the washers in the proper places), otherwise your visor will just fall right off.
- Ugly bell logo
- Limited designs; most of them are either too manly (Zombies), or too loud (the CG white / green one was nice but I don't need CG everywhere across my helmet). Please better designs! Check out Giro Remedy's smog for ideas.
- I chose the white color but the rubber lining turned grey in a matter of 2 uses.... I guess they shouldn't use white as the main helmet color.
- My old full face from 5 yrs ago has 6 more vents than this one. -- Great fit, the most comfortable full face I ever owned!
The helmet is great, however, the visor was damaged with the paint all coming off of it, so I was quite disappointed. Amazon didn't have any more to replace it with, so I ended up having to buy a new visor from a different dealer. -- helmet
