BELL helmet 4FORTY AIR MIPS — black, size L/XL (2022)

The BELL helmet 4FORTY AIR MIPS in black, size L/XL (2022) is a cycling helmet designed for everyday and recreational riding. It combines a lightweight shell with integrated ventilation channels to promote airflow and rider comfort. The helmet incorporates MIPS technology to reduce rotational forces in certain impacts and offers an adjustable retention system to achieve a secure fit for larger head sizes.

Advantages

The 4FORTY AIR MIPS provides enhanced ventilation through an airflow-focused shell design that helps regulate temperature during commutes and longer rides. Its lightweight construction reduces neck strain while remaining durable for urban and recreational use. The inclusion of MIPS adds an extra layer of rotational impact protection without compromising fit or ventilation. The adjustable fit system allows fine-tuning to L/XL head sizes for a stable and comfortable ride.

Suitable for

• Everyday commuting and city cycling
• Recreational and fitness rides
• Longer rides where ventilation and comfort matter
• Riders seeking enhanced rotational impact protection

Key specifications

• Size: L/XL (fits larger head circumferences)
• Color: Black
• Safety system: MIPS rotational impact protection integrated
• Construction: Lightweight ventilated shell with internal airflow channels
• Fit system: Adjustable retention mechanism for secure fit
• Intended use: Urban commuting and recreational cycling

How to use

Place the helmet level on the head so it sits approximately one to two finger-widths above the eyebrows. Adjust the retention system until the helmet feels snug but not constrictive. Fasten and adjust the chin strap so it forms a V shape under the ears and allows one to two fingers of space under the strap at the chin. Inspect helmet vents to ensure they are clear and unobstructed before riding. Replace the helmet after any significant impact or if damage is visible.

Usage recommendations

Use the helmet for cycling activities consistent with its design: commuting, recreational rides, and fitness cycling. Regularly check straps, buckles, and the fit system for wear and proper function. Clean the shell and pads with mild soap and water; avoid solvents or high-temperature drying. Replace the helmet according to manufacturer guidance after impact or when fit and integrity are compromised.
