Full-face helmet BELL Sanction 2 DLX MIPS — color blip teal roz, size XL (59–61 cm)

BELL Sanction 2 DLX MIPS is a full-face helmet designed for riders who need comprehensive head protection in high-impact cycling disciplines. The helmet combines a DLX shell construction with integrated MIPS rotational protection and an eye-catching blip teal roz finish. Sized XL (59–61 cm), it offers extended coverage around the jaw and temples while maintaining ventilation and fit adjustability for trail, enduro and downhill use.

Advantages

The Sanction 2 DLX MIPS integrates MIPS rotational technology to help reduce rotational forces during angled impacts. Its DLX construction balances impact absorption and weight to provide robust protection without excessive bulk. The XL sizing accommodates head circumferences from 59 to 61 cm and the full-face design improves facial and chin protection compared with open-face helmets. The helmet includes ventilation channels and an adjustable fit system to maintain comfort during longer rides.

Suitable for

• Aggressive trail riding and enduro where full-face protection is desired
• Downhill mountain biking and high-speed off-road descents
• Park and freeride disciplines that involve jumps and technical impacts
• Riders seeking a secure XL fit (59–61 cm) with integrated rotational protection

When it may not be suitable

This full-face helmet may be excessive for casual city cycling, commuting, or recreational road riding where open-face or lighter helmets are more practical. It is a larger, more protective design that can be warmer and heavier compared with minimalist trail helmets, so it might not suit riders prioritizing minimal weight and maximum ventilation.

How to use

Measure your head circumference and confirm the 59–61 cm XL range before fitting. Put the helmet on so the brow sits level above the eyes and the chin bar covers the jaw. Fasten and adjust the retention system until the helmet sits snug without pressure points. Ensure straps are buckled and adjusted so the chin strap is comfortable and the helmet cannot shift during movement. Inspect vents and padding for debris and maintain the helmet according to the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Replace the helmet after any significant impact or if structural damage is observed.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm head circumference falls within the XL range (59–61 cm) for correct fit
• Decide if a full-face helmet profile suits your riding style and climate conditions
• Consider weight and ventilation needs compared with lighter open-face helmets
• Verify compatibility with eyewear, communication devices, or action camera mounts if required

Usage recommendations

Use the helmet for off-road, enduro, downhill and park riding where full-face protection and rotational impact mitigation are priorities. Regularly inspect for wear, keep pads and straps clean, and follow replacement guidance after impacts to maintain protective performance.
