Full-face helmet BELL Sanction 2 DLX MIPS, matte black, size L (57–59 cm)

The Full-face helmet BELL Sanction 2 DLX MIPS in matte black, size L (57–59 cm), is a protective helmet engineered for aggressive mountain biking disciplines. This full-face design combines a robust outer shell, reinforced chin bar and integrated MIPS rotational protection to reduce rotational forces during impacts. The helmet includes internal ventilation channels and strategic vent placement to promote airflow and help regulate temperature during high-intensity rides.

Advantages

The BELL Sanction 2 DLX MIPS offers full-head coverage with an emphasis on impact safety and rotational protection thanks to the integrated MIPS system. Its durable construction and reinforced chin bar provide enhanced resistance to multiple impact directions. Ventilation channels and moisture-managing interior pads help maintain rider comfort on long or strenuous descents, while the matte black finish delivers a low-reflective look suitable for varied riding conditions.

Suitable for

• Downhill mountain biking where maximum head protection is required
• Enduro racing and technical high-speed descents
• Gravity and aggressive trail riding with exposure to impacts
• Riders seeking a full-face helmet with rotational protection features

When it may not be suitable

This full-face helmet is purpose-built for aggressive and high-impact riding; it may be heavier and less ventilated than lightweight road or cross-country helmets, making it less suitable for casual commuting or long-distance pedaling where minimal weight and maximum ventilation are priorities. It is not intended as a substitute for helmets designed for other sports that have different certification requirements.

Key specifications

• Fit size: Large (head circumference 57–59 cm)
• Design: Full-face shell with integrated chin bar
• Rotational protection: Integrated MIPS system
• Finish: Matte black
• Ventilation: Internal channels and multiple vents for airflow management
• Interior: Removable and moisture-wicking pads for comfort and hygiene

How to use

Measure head circumference to confirm the size L range (57–59 cm) and adjust the interior fit system and straps so the helmet sits level on the head with the chin strap snug but comfortable. Ensure the chin bar is positioned to protect the lower face and that all vents are unobstructed. Replace pads or adjust the fit system as needed for seasonal clothing layers or goggles. After any significant impact, inspect the helmet for visible damage and replace it if structural integrity is compromised.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm head circumference fits the L size range (57–59 cm)
• Verify the helmet meets the safety standards relevant to your riding and region
• Consider compatibility with goggles, communication devices, and eyewear
• Assess ventilation needs relative to typical riding conditions and climate

Usage recommendations

Use this full-face helmet for downhill, enduro and gravity riding where full coverage and rotational protection are required. Maintain and clean removable pads regularly, check fit before every ride, and replace the helmet after a significant impact or according to the manufacturer's recommended service life.
