Full-face helmet BELL Sanction 2 DLX MIPS, size L (59–61 cm), matte dark gray/tan

The BELL Sanction 2 DLX MIPS full-face helmet provides comprehensive head and face protection for mountain biking disciplines that demand higher impact resistance. Designed with a hard-shell full-face construction and integrated MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System), this helmet is sized L to fit head circumferences of 59–61 cm and is finished in a matte dark gray and tan colorway. It balances coverage and ventilation to meet the needs of downhill, enduro and aggressive trail riding where extended facial protection is required.

Advantages

The hard-shell full-face design delivers durable impact resistance across the outer shell and chinbar, while the integrated MIPS layer helps reduce rotational forces transferred to the head in oblique impacts. Ventilation channels and internal padding are configured to maintain airflow and manage moisture during extended rides. The adjustable fit system and size L shell ensure a stable, secure fit for riders with a 59–61 cm head circumference.

Suitable for

• Downhill mountain biking where maximum facial protection is needed
• Enduro events and stages with technical descents
• Gravity and freeride sessions on steep or rocky terrain
• Trail rides that include high-speed or exposed sections

Key specifications

How to use

Place the helmet over the head so the brow sits evenly above the eyebrows and the chinbar rests comfortably under the jaw. Adjust the retention system and straps until the helmet fits snugly without pressure points; buckles should be fastened and straps trimmed or positioned to prevent slippage. Verify that the helmet does not shift when you shake your head and that the field of vision is not obstructed. Regularly inspect the shell, straps and padding for signs of wear or damage and replace any components according to manufacturer guidance.

Usage recommendations

Use this helmet for downhill, enduro and gravity riding where full-face coverage is desirable. For optimal safety, replace the helmet after a significant impact or if structural damage is evident. Clean removable liners according to care instructions and ensure proper strap adjustment before each ride.
