New Bell MOTO-9 rasies the MX bar yet again
The new-from-the-ground-up Bell Moto-9 helmet elevates the category with not only improved fit, ventilation and comfort, but added safety features. Bell's new magnetic cheekpad system - the Magnefusion Emergency Release System (MERS) - allows for easy helmet removal in emergency situations. Used in conjunction with the Eject Helmet Removal System - which the Bell Moto 9's liner was specifically designed to accomodate - the two features allow first responders to gently remove the helmet from the rider's head, reducing the potential for secondary neck or spine injuries.
On a pracital basis, MERS allows for easy removal and hand washing of the cheek pads, a useful convenience for keeping the interior clean and grunge-free. A removable, washable comfort liner made form X-Static - a silver-woven antimicrobial and antibacterial material - wicks moisture away from the head and kills off 99.9% of odor causing bacteria.
Moving outward on the helmet, the Bell Moto-9 features a souped-up version of Bell's Velocity Flow Ventilation system, which literally pulls air through the helmet, keeping the rider cooler. Our TriMatrix Composite Shell keeps weight low and strength in the right places, while the Flying Bridge Visor is easily adjusted with two hand-in-glove-adjustable QuickFlip screws that firmly hold the visor in place. The patented Magnefusion strap keeper replaces the often hard-to-locate strap snap with an elegant magnetic solution that easily engages and secures the strap end. Bell standards like an integrated, removable roost guard, padded shin strap with D-ring closure, Snell 2010 approved and a five year warranty are all part of the package - as well as a deluxe padded helmet bag. Quite simply the best MX helmet ever. |
