Bell Super 3R MIPS Helmet

The Bell Super 3R MIPS Helmet is a convertible trail and enduro lid built for riders who want full-face protection when the terrain demands it and open-face versatility when it doesn't. The detachable chin bar is the defining feature here — snap it on for technical descents, pull it off for the climb or a mellow trail day. It sits in Bell's Super lineup as the full-face option, bridging the gap between a standard open-face trail helmet and a dedicated full-face downhill lid.

MIPS — Multi-directional Impact Protection System — adds a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces transferred to the brain during certain impacts. Bell pairs this with their Float Fit system, a rear-adjustable dial that lets you dial in a secure, precise fit without fumbling mid-ride. The construction uses an in-mold polycarbonate shell with EPS foam liner, keeping weight in check for a helmet that covers this much of your head. Ventilation channels run through the shell to move air even when the chin bar is attached — a common weakness in convertible designs that Bell has clearly worked to address.

Design Benefits

1. One helmet, two riding modes. The detachable chin bar means you're not choosing between protection and comfort before you leave the trailhead. Ride up with the chin bar stowed, clip it on at the top — the Super 3R is designed to handle both ends of a bike park lap or an all-day trail mission without asking you to carry two helmets.
2. A fit system that stays put. Bell's Float Fit dial adjustment is designed to keep the helmet stable and centered even over rough ground. A helmet that shifts on your head mid-descent is a distraction you don't need — the micro-adjust retention system is intended to eliminate that problem across a full range of head shapes.
3. Added protection where impacts count. MIPS is an independently developed technology licensed by Bell and many other manufacturers — it's designed specifically to address angled impacts, which account for the majority of real-world helmet strikes. For riders pushing into more aggressive terrain, it's a meaningful addition to the safety profile of the helmet.
