Reviews
Do not buy. Poor quality MIPS helmet
by Jack Africa
Thought this looked like a good quality helmet at first, but it was not to be.
Had a lot of fit problems with this helmet. However, these are all fit issues and may be related to the individuals shape and bumps.
What was really concerning - when removing the helmet one afternoon after a sweaty ride, the subframe MIPs part of the helmet stuck to my head and the rubber anchors that connect the subframe to the helmet snapped -> 2 of them of the 4 anchors. Then 4 weeks later the 3rd snapped.
Basically this is poor quality , poorly engineered. No replacement parts.
The helmet lasted 8 months before giving up the ghost.
If you ride a lot and like descending, this helmet is not for you, save your money for a better product.
Quality helmet
by Roger B
Ordered the wrong size, I was on the cusp and the large did adjust down, but felt on limit and helmet shell was too low then. Refunded ok but did not repurchase as no stock in medium, chose another brand.
However, this helmet was my first pick, and is a quality product, and would look again if needing a replacement.
Comfortable and stylish

Fast shipping. Ordered the wrong size but thanks to the awesome guys here. I got it returned and refunded with no drama. Brow sweat channelling works very well and the padding is comfortable.
Sixer

The Sixer is a great helmet if you're looking for a light, breathable helmet with good full coverage. Its a great fit and sits really well on my pin like head (it doesn't sit on top and make me look like a ducktail like some others do). The fitting system feels really secure and comfortable like your not even wearing a helmet and the sweat guide really works. I haven't had sweat in my eyes yet. Highly receommended.

Great helmet so far. I was looking for a new helmet after recently getting back into mtn biking. Read plenty of reviews and decided to go with the bell sixer. Great fit and plenty of ventilation. Visor has many positions and is firm . Go pro camera mount works really well.
Super comfy and airy

Super comfy padding in all the right places. You can easily adjust the visor on the go. Vents above your brow de-fog your glasses easily. Convenient camera/gopro mount. Relatively good air flow and absorbent padding in the helmet. Well priced.
