BELL Local BMX helmet matte hi-viz, size S (51–55 cm), open-face protective helmet

The BELL Local BMX helmet in matte hi-viz colour is an open-face protective helmet sized S (51–55 cm) designed for BMX, skatepark and urban cycling. It combines a durable ABS outer shell with an impact-absorbing EPS liner to provide low-profile protection while maintaining a lightweight feel. Multiple vents promote airflow to help regulate temperature during active riding, and an adjustable retention system delivers a secure, stable fit for a range of head sizes within the S range.

Advantages

This helmet offers reliable impact management through a molded EPS liner and a robust ABS shell that resists everyday wear. The matte hi-viz finish increases visibility in low-light urban environments without adding reflective bulk. Ventilation channels are integrated into the shell to encourage airflow and reduce heat buildup. The adjustable retention system and cushioned internal pads allow for a tailored fit that balances comfort and security for street, park and commuter use.

• BMX riding in parks and on streets

How to use

Place the helmet level on the head so the front rim sits just above the eyebrows. Adjust the retention system until the helmet feels snug and stable without causing pressure points. Fasten the chin strap and secure the buckle, then tighten the straps so they form a V-shape under each ear and allow one to two fingers of space under the chin when closed. Before each ride, inspect the shell and liner for cracks or damage and ensure the retention system and straps are functioning correctly.

Usage recommendations

For optimal protection, replace the helmet after any significant impact, after visible damage to the shell or liner, or according to the manufacturer’s recommended service life. Use the matte hi-viz finish to improve visibility in dusk and dawn conditions, and combine with additional front and rear lights for night riding. Clean the helmet with mild soap and water and avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade materials.
