Young mountain bikers have a remarkable ability to find adventure in just about anything. A muddy trail, a small jump or a puddle that's apparently impossible to ride around. Bell knows the enthusiasm is unlikely to disappear anytime soon, so they've created the 2Twenty Youth MIPS Dual Mountain Bike Helmet to help keep young riders protected while they get on with having fun.
The 2Twenty Youth takes some genuinely clever technology from Bell's higher-end helmets and puts it into a comfortable, practical design for younger cyclists. MIPS Evolve technology adds protection against rotational forces during certain impacts, while the adjustable Ergo Fit system helps keep the helmet sitting securely as the riding gets more adventurous. Deep-channel ventilation helps keep things cool, the removable visor adds some proper mountain bike styling, and the antimicrobial liner keeps everything a little fresher between rides. It's a helmet that takes protection seriously without making a big fuss about it. Quite useful when the person wearing it has already disappeared down the trail.
