Bell Volt cycling helmet review

This is my review of the Bell Volt cycling helmet which i have used extensively over the last 6 months.
My previous cycle helmet was a Giro Ionos which i had for just over a year and while the helmet was ok i decieded i wanted to try something different for a change and after looking around and researching various manufactures i went for the Volt from Bell.


Bell Volt/Pro Cycling magazine

  First impressions are fantastic,it has a real premuim feel and look about it.The colour is a mix of black and carbon with a hint of gunmetal along the vents which really stand out and give the helmet a bold look.If feels light to hold and although there are lighter helmets available i found that when your out cycling i hardly know its there.Fully adjustable to cater for all shapes and sized heads its easy to get a fit that feels "just right" and with plenty of pads inside its a comfy helmt to wear.

When out riding you can instantly feel the vents working and on hot days they are a godsent,the same goes for the internal pads which do a good job of soaking up the sweat especially on my brow although i still have to wipe my brow from time to time its no problem.

Massive vents on the rear!

This does everything that a good cycle helmet should do,protects your head in a crash [thankfully i havent tested that part yet!!],the vents work really well keeping my head cool on hot days,it looks fantastic,its lightweight and fits me perfect.Everyones heads are different shapes/sizes so i would definatly try before you buy [the same advice goes for any helmet].

The helmet was on offer for £115 instead of the usual £135 to £140 which in the end sealed the deal for me.
The Bell Volt.........highly recomended
