From the tracks to the trails and across the streets in between, Bell has always been trusted to protect riders. In 1954, Bell Helmets founder Roy Richter witnessed first-hand the dangers associated with racing. A racer himself, Richter saw the need for some extra protection, and created his first helmet – the “500.” Business expanded from there, and the company quickly took the head-seat at the table for their innovative and revolutionary look at helmet manufacturing. With their unique perspective and insight into the industry, Bell has continued to develop the products that the riders of today need.
Since its beginning, Bell Helmets has always been focused on how to best protect riders of all ages, sizes, and riding preferences. Their helmets address every aspect of the ride – protection, comfort, and performance. One never has to come at the expense of the other, making Bell’s helmets the most well-rounded and inclusive helmets on the market. Their effective designs, intuitive technologies, and industry-leading construction have set the standard for the rest of the industry to match. All Bell Helmets come standard with MIPS and ECE certification, along with durable shells, moisture-wicking liners, and varying internal safety features. Bell Helmets are accessible to varying price points and budgets, making the high-performing helmets affordable for all riders.
Today, Bell Helmets still has the same focus and aspirations. The company remains true to its roots while climbing the ladder of innovation. Their helmets are engineered in the name of safety, for all riders of all riding styles. They’re tried-and-true because they’ve been around long enough to be put through every test and ride. Rider owned and rider trusted, Bell is the leading name in the game when it comes to helmet safety, comfort, and performance.

By all expert reviews I have read, this is an excellent helmet. But unlike the Neotec that I tried on, the Hornet is not a medium oval. It is built for very round heads. I had to send it back.

Love this helmet so far. The XL in this helmet fits perfectly. Quiet with minimal wind noise. Comes with. Standard shield and a self tinting shield that I have not tried out yet. Highly recommend this helmet. Worth every penny.

This is an excellent helmet for most all aspects of riding. The only draw back is that it can get hot inside the helmet when riding single track at low speeds during hot days; otherwise it does it all I need it to do. Great helmet for the price.

This is my first ADV helmet, I had worn my MX helmet and sunglasses before but this is a game changer. I have been able to ride on days that would have been too cool before because now I can close the vents and put the face shield down. When the temp goes up I can open the vents and get plenty of circulation, they do a great job. This helmet is also very quiet, very little wind and road noise. I like the option of using the tinted shield if needed, or flipping it up when it's not needed. The cheek pads and liner are the most comfortable I've ever used. The size chart was accurate, I was able to get a perfect fit the first time. Overall, I'm very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

I like the looks of the helmet. I have noticed that the visor has some distortion with or without my glasses. If you wear glasses the helmet is very tight where your glasses go. I've had a bit of a hard time getting them on after putting on the helmet. Overall I'm happy with the helmet, but would have liked to have known about the glasses issue.
