Helmet BELL Trace MIPS — size Universal 50–57 cm, black, 2020

BELL Trace MIPS is a lightweight bicycle helmet in black, model year 2020, designed to fit head circumferences from 50 to 57 cm. The helmet integrates MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) to reduce rotational forces during certain impacts and features an adjustable fit system and ventilation channels for everyday urban riding, commuting and recreational cycling. Constructed for a balance of protection, comfort and low weight, the Trace MIPS suits riders who want dependable head protection without a bulky profile.

Advantages

The Trace MIPS combines a thin, durable outer shell with an impact-absorbing liner and the MIPS low-friction layer to address both linear and rotational energy in impacts. Its adjustable retention system allows a secure and personalized fit across the universal 50–57 cm range, while ventilation ports promote airflow to help regulate temperature on short and medium rides. The helmet’s simple styling and neutral black finish make it compatible with a wide range of cycling apparel and accessories.

How to use

Place the helmet level on the head so the front rim sits just above the eyebrows. Adjust the rear retention system until the helmet feels snug but comfortable, and fasten the chin strap so it forms a V-shape under the ears with enough room to fit one or two fingers between strap and chin. Periodically check and retighten the adjustment system and straps, and replace the helmet after any significant impact or when signs of wear are visible.

Usage recommendations

For optimal protection, pair the BELL Trace MIPS with visible clothing or lights when riding in low-light conditions, maintain correct strap tension, and follow local helmet safety guidelines. Do not attempt to open or modify the MIPS layer; replace the helmet if it has sustained a crash or shows structural damage.
