BELL MX-9 Adventure MIPS Full-Face Motorcycle Helmet

The media could not be loaded.  Let me preface this with, I tried on 4-5 of the top rated helmets side by side with the Bell MX9 Adv, including the Klim Krios Pro, Shoei Hornet X2, and Arai XD4. The Arai and Klim were the first to go, due to their overall fit and function along with the price tag. Hard to justify 2-3x the cost of the bell when they aren’t even as comfortable out of the box.I quickly narrowed it down to the Shoei Hornet X2 and the Bell MX9. They fit very similarly, with the Shoei edging it out with its overall craftsmanship and quality. It truly is a work of art - but it also exceeded my needs for a dual sport helmet. For twice the cost, I made the tough decision to send it back. The bell shared so many features in terms of fit, comfort, and safety that based on craftsmanship alone, it was tough to spend the extra money. I don’t do a lot of road miles except to connect trails, and get from a to b. If I did longer highway miles, I definitely would have gone with the SNELL rated Shoei. However, the MIPS system is a great feature, and the MX9 is comfortable on the road and on the trail.I really appreciate the adaptability of a comms system like my Cardo Black. The cheek pads have integrated pouches for the headphone pieces, while the breath box leaves ample room for the microphone. The lining is super plush and comfortable, and proves to be a bit warm on longer rides, but cracking the shield every now and then helps dump the heat. The ventilation is good, albeit not as good as the other 3 helmets I listed above. The visor does catch a draft, but every helmet with a visor will. On trips where I’m spending minimal amounts of time on pavement I have a full MX helmet on, so I’m used to this and it doesn’t bother me.Overall this helmet is the best bang for the buck you can find. The additional face shields available are a great bonus. I have both the gold iridium (pictured) and dark smoke. Would suggest without hesitation to anybody looking for a solid dual sport helmet that checks all the boxes.

Bought and use with my adventure bike. Comfortable and works well. Good price.

First, this helmet included the clear shield and the dark shield as well. That's a $50 dollar value. It weighs 3lbs 12.5 oz. Not light nor heavy. My head measures exactly 23 and 1/2 inches at it's widest ( just above my eyebrows). The fit is very good, a little more than snug but it's new. The cheek pads are too thick and press too hard on my face, but this might change once broken in. There is no way to adjust that nor get access to to the foam within the fabric. But it's not uncomfortable. I'm sure it will loosen up a bit over time. It's vented across the top of the inside and it works to keep your head cooler. There is a vent in the cross bar and it can be closed with a sliding tab on the front. At speed you can turn your head and the wind does not grab the helmet very much. Also the visor does not catch the wind unless you tilt the helmet up some. Overall it's very nice and I would buy this again.

Very happy with style, fitment and comfort after a few weeks riding with it, would have given 5 star if it was a bit more quiet at speed 60, though I did not intend to be on highways much with it. Did have a slight issue with condensation inside on cold mornings - I now carry a soft glasses/lens wipe swatch in my coat, but great helmet for the money. Just not going to be great for comms without some modification to reduce noise if desired.

Should have gotten this a long time ago. True to size and very comfortable. Always ran with goggles in the past but having a face shield is a game changer.

I have to say that I am satisfied with this helmet. I use it mostly for highway commuting and I removed the visor so that turning your head over 40 mph wasn't a challenge. The visor is great trail riding and traveling under 40 mph around town. It came with a clear and a dark tinted lens also which was a plus. After the first 1st hour of use the helmet seemed to fit better and I am pleased with how it feels now after several trips. Granted the first minute of use wasn't an issue it just has seemed to form to my head after a couple uses. The weight is not a problem as I have had other helmets in the past that weighed a ton after a few hours on the trails. I was skeptical about buying a helmet online as I like to see and feel what I am putting on my head but I am very pleased with this helmet. You will be glad you bought one for yourself.

It is as good as my $800 mx helmets but with a useful windscreen. Fits well, vented as good as any helmet and finishing touches are clean.

Perfect fit, very comfortable, nice looking and quality made.

No dudes en comprarlo. Voy a tratar de ser imparcial. Lo uso en translados urbanos cortos (7kms a baja velocidad) con botas rigidas, chamarra, pantalón blindado no en cross o algo de dirt. Me salvó.Lo malo primero: Muy ruidoso, apretado cambié el tamaño porque no entraba, entra polvo y viento por ser abierto en la parte de abajo.Lo increible: Choqué hace 5 días no tiene ni un rasguño, no tengo latigazo cervical, traumatismos, le compré una mica fotosensible espectacular (que les sugiero sin dudas), ligero, los detalles high viz me daban visibilidad con los coches, mecanismo de salida en los aros para quitarlo de inmediato, el MIPS me evito un daño mayor y la vdd entre amazon y bell tienen una garantía de choque y ofrecieron reponérmelo por uno nuevo sin costo; esto es invaluable y atención al cliente al 100% sólo por eso vale mucho mucho más.Cómo médico y cliente estoy muy agradecido porque si veo la diferencia con un equipo de esta calidad aunque haya sido después de un trancazo. Lo volveria a comprar mañana.

Arrived in days. Very comfortable and light. I love this helmet. I would recommend it to anyone.

El casco es un poco pesado pero la calidad lo vale. Los materiales de primera

Casco de buena calidad. Campo se visión amplio. Es fácil de modificar (no ocupas herramienta) en sus 3 configuraciones. La pantalla es transparente. Algo ruidoso en carretera con la visera.
