The Bell XR MIPS Solid is the entry point into Bell's XR range — delivering the same all-terrain riding versatility and MIPS rotational protection as the Spherical model, at a more accessible price point. It's the helmet for riders who want genuine safety credentials and real-world versatility without stepping up to Spherical Technology. MIPS is an independently validated low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows approximately 10–15mm of movement between the head and helmet shell during an impact. In an oblique crash — the most common type in cycling — this movement helps reduce the rotational forces transmitted to the brain. For any serious rider, MIPS is a meaningful safety specification, and the XR MIPS Solid delivers it at a compelling price. The XR family's versatile shape means this helmet works across riding styles without compromise. The extended rear coverage provides more protection than a traditional road helmet, making it appropriate for trail use, while the ventilation layout keeps airflow moving on road and gravel efforts. The adjustable fit system dials in snugly and holds position across varied terrain, without loosening on long descents or technical sections. Available in clean solid colourways — no graphics, just a refined look that suits any kit or bike. Whether you're training on the road, exploring gravel, commuting, or spending weekends on the trail, the XR MIPS Solid transitions between all of it without compromise.
