Some helmets are all about aerodynamics, complicated ventilation systems and looking like you've just stepped off the Tour de France. The Bell Local Solid BMX Helmet has absolutely no interest in any of that. It's here for skateparks, pump tracks, dirt jumps and getting around town, with a classic skate-inspired look that's been given a thoroughly modern update. Simple, stylish and ready for a bit of mischief. Just how a proper BMX helmet should be.
Bell has taken the traditional skate helmet design and made it fit better, feel more comfortable and sit closer to your head. The result is a clean, low-profile shape that looks great without feeling unnecessarily bulky. Underneath that understated exterior sits a durable ABS hard shell with an impact-absorbing EPS liner, while Bell's Action Fit system lets you adjust the fit with a simple turn of a dial. With ventilation to keep air moving and a design suited to both cycling and skating, the Local is properly equipped for life on two wheels. Or four smaller ones, if that's more your thing.
