Bell Super Air R Unveiled – a new, lighter trail helmet with removable chin-guard

With a weight of just 640 g, the Super Air R is considerably lighter than any other Bell full-face helmet with removable chin guard. In the event of a crash, the MIPS and Flex Spherical systems allow the two “helmet shells” to rotate against each other in order to reduce the impact force.

The Bell Super Air R retails at $ 299.99 and looks great even without the chin guard. You can also order your helmet without the additional guard, and order this separately if needed. This option goes under the name of Bell Super Air and costs $ 259,99.
