    I am really happy with this BELL Super Air helmet, very comfortable, great features.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2020

    Color: Matte/Gloss GraysSize: Medium (55-59 cm)Verified Purchase

    I ride All-Mountain to Enduro in the pacific northwes; some fairly fast and steep moto trails. We've been wearing basic helmets such as Fox and Giro and my wife has a POC but they are all just top shells for Trail riding. Well after my wife caught a pedal on a fairly steep rooty section and did a flying header face first into a large cut off stump, hiked out 2 miles in shock and went to the ER to have the hole in her face patched up… I decided it was time to replace my 5+ year old standard helmet.

    Here's what I like about this Bell Super Air:

    – It is very comfortable, looks and feels well designed
    – Light weight
    – easy to install chin bar
    – Good visibility with the chin bar installed
    – Great ventilation
    – Sweat seems to channel away from my eyeballs, and I can work up a good stream when riding
    – Does not feel like it is riding on my brow-line like the TLD I had for a short period and ditched
    -I love the adjustable visor, it is very functional and easy to use (no screws, just detents)

    Con's:
    The thumb adjuster for tightness is a bit small and hard to reach.

    I highly recommend this helmet.

    Its expensive but its a great helmet.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2021

    Color: Matte/Gloss BlackSize: Medium (55-59 cm)Verified Purchase

    I've been ridding with this helmet for a couple months now and really like it. Its lightweight and has good ventilation. I don't notice it at all while riding which is very important to me. I am a relatively new mountain biker and I bought this helmet because I wanted a helmet that could progress with me. I like the option of being able to have the chin bar when things start to get really technical or I start to jump more but also have the option of an open face for regular trail days. Its not downhill helmet and I don't intent to use it for that as I'm not a dh rider (yet) but its a great helmet for those who want a little extra protection with out all the heft of a full dh helmet.

    I've only had one issue so far and that was with sizing. I already own a Bell road biking helmet in size large which fits great and has a size range of 58-62cm. Bells website list the same range for the super air r Large so that's initially what I ordered. When I tried it on I could not tighten it enough. Maybe it was a faulty tighten mechanism but I returned it for a medium and it fits much better tho its close to being to snug (not enough to bother me).

    I also had an issue with the seller. They removed the helmet from its original packaging and shipped it in a box the was to small. It was bulging at the sides and had no protection. It left the helmet very susceptible to damage. Luckily it appeared to be ok but I think that is extremely poor business practice as it calls in to question the authenticity and condition of the product.

    So while I do recommend the helmet I do not recommend the seller Gotta Ride Bikes.

    I can see why they call it the "Air." This helmet is constructed for cooling features and fitment without sacrificing safety. Love that it has MIPS certification, and I consider it a necessity when looking for a helmet. You only get one body, protect it as best as you can. The Bell Air R comes in a variety of design colorways able to suit the style and needs of any enthusiest.

    Just as comfortable as a road bike helmet.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021

    Color: Matte/Gloss GraysSize: Large (58-62 cm)Verified Purchase

    I put a Bafang BBS02 motor on my Rans Recumbent. Average speed for this Class 3 ebike is about 22 MPH. Going down the mountains, gravity takes her into the 30s and I have maxed out twice at 43. My simple Schwinn road bike helmet is not going to give my face and chin any protections at those speeds.
    I tried a cheap full face helmet but the sizing and comfort were all wrong.

    Then I decided to get the Bell 3R but the buckle and strap system looked exactly the same as my $20 Schwinn helmet from Wal-Mart. It seemed over priced. Fortunately the 3R was sold out everywhere and the Super R Air was available and in a decent color. The Super Air R is also lighter than the 3R.

    I was still expecting a tight and heavy helmet but I was loosing my nerve on some of the hills and wanted a better helmet.

    Bottom line; This is just as comfortable as a road bike helmet. It is only a little heavier but the perfect fit makes up for it and you will not notice the weight. The only intrusion into my field of view is a little bit of the chin guard and the visor. My first ride tonight was 32 miles and spent 2 1/2 hours with it on even during breaks. You forget it is there.

    I always wear a dew rag under my helmets to keep the bugs out of my hair and in the winter I wear a fleece skull cap. Both fit nicely with this helmet.

    The removable chin guard works OK but I spent the money on this so I could have full face protection. The chin guard is never coming off.

    It feels comfortable and didn’t take me long to figure out the mechanism that holds the chin bar I place. I would give it 5 stars except the strap under my chin isn’t comfy. I’ve never felt one that is, so maybe they don’t exist! I measured my head size and got the medium that fits great. There is also a skull cage that can be adjusted for a better fit.

    Excellent Bell helmet with a super unique convertible design allowing you to have 1 helmet with 2 configurations. I use the full face when at the bike park, and I remove it for easier trails. Very study design, comfortable, and includes a GoPro mount to boot!

    The entire tightening assembly can be adjusted to a few different positions, for the best fit (raising or lowering the dial at the back of your head).

    Decepcionante

    Reviewed in Spain on April 7, 2022

    Color: Matte/Gloss Red/GraySize: Medium (55-59 cm)Verified Purchase

    – Cuando tienes el casco entre las manos te decepciona ya que a mi modo lo percibo endeble.
    – En mi caso concreto, pese a ser mi talla y con las almohadillas grandes (viene con dos pares de tamaño diferente de almohadillas) no acaba de ajustarse.
    – Me parece un casco endeble para descenso del tipo que ante un impacto el casco no se mantiene en su sitio, la mentonera sale volando y el casco chafado.

    Lo he devuelto.
