Bell Full-10 Performance in a Lightweight Composite Full-Face Helmet
The Bell Full-10 Mips is a downhill-ready full-face helmet for riders who want serious coverage, ventilation and race-focused features in a composite-shell package. Drawing from Bell’s premium Full-10 platform, it combines a lightweight composite shell, Mips rotational-impact management and Bell’s Thermal Exchange Airflow System for confidence on fast, technical trails.
With three shell sizes, matched EPS liners and included fit pads, the Full-10 Mips is designed to provide a secure, consistent fit across its size range. Emergency-release cheek pads, a panoramic goggle port and an adjustable Flying Bridge visor round out a helmet built for bike parks, downhill racing, enduro and e-MTB riding.
Composite Construction, Full-Face Confidence
The lightweight composite shell balances dependable downhill protection with a manageable weight for long days on the hill. At 1,000 g ± 50 g in a medium, the Full-10 Mips delivers a properly equipped gravity-riding helmet without the bulk normally associated with full-face protection.
Mips Rotational-Impact Management
The integrated Mips system is designed to help manage rotational motion in certain angled impacts. It works alongside the helmet’s EPS liner to provide added protection for demanding gravity riding.
Thermal Exchange Airflow System
Bell’s Thermal Exchange Airflow System, or T.E.A.S., channels fresh air through the helmet and moves heat out through the side and rear exhaust ports. The result is strong airflow when the riding gets fast, physical and hot.
Race-Ready Details
The Full-10 Mips has the details that make a difference for regular bike park and gravity riders: a panoramic goggle port, adjustable Flying Bridge visor, removable washable Ionic+ antimicrobial liner and Magnefusion emergency-release cheek pads. An integrated breakaway camera mount, extra fit pads and helmet bag are included.

Who Is It For?

Full-10 Mips vs Full-10 Spherical
The Full-10 Mips gives you the core Full-10 experience at a more accessible price: downhill, BMX and e-bike certification, T.E.A.S. ventilation, a panoramic goggle port and emergency-release cheek pads. The premium Bell Full-10 Spherical Carbon Full Face Helmet adds a carbon shell and Bell’s Spherical Technology powered by Mips for riders who want the top-tier version.
Our Thoughts
This is a properly equipped gravity helmet, not a stripped-back full-face. The emergency-release cheek pads, adjustable visor, excellent goggle compatibility and included camera mount make it particularly well suited to riders spending regular time in the bike park or on technical downhill tracks. For riders who want Full-10 performance without stepping up to the carbon Spherical model, this is the sensible choice.

Measure around the fullest part of your head, just above the eyebrows. A full-face helmet should feel snug and secure without pressure points. If you are between sizes, visit us to try one on.
