Full-Face Protection That Still Lets You Pedal.
The Bell Full Air Mips is for riders who want the security of a full-face helmet without wearing a heavy, hot downhill lid all day. It combines a lightweight in-mould polycarbonate shell, advanced Mips Evolve protection and high-flow ventilation for enduro, bike park, freeride and e-MTB riding.
At approximately 760 g in a medium, it is built for riders who pedal to the top, ride technical descents and want a helmet that remains comfortable through a full day on the bike.
Mips Evolve Protection
The Full Air uses Bell’s Advanced Mips Evolve system, designed to help manage rotational motion in certain angled impacts. Combined with the full-face coverage and dual-density EPS construction, it gives riders a high level of protection for demanding trail and gravity riding.
Ventilation for Climbing and Descending
Bell’s Dual-Flow ventilation and removable temple pads help move air through the helmet, keeping it cooler when the trail turns uphill. The modular cheek-pad system also lets you tune the fit and airflow: add padding for a more secure feel or remove sections when you want extra ventilation.
Practical Details for Real Riding
A Fidlock magnetic buckle makes the chin strap quick and easy to use, even with gloves on. The two-position Flying Bridge visor gives room for goggles or eyewear storage, while the breakaway under-visor mount accepts an action camera or light.
The anti-microbial liner is removable and washable, and Bell’s Sweat Guide system helps manage sweat on hotter rides.

Who Is It For?
The Full Air Mips is ideal for enduro riders, e-MTB riders, bike park regulars and anyone who wants full-face coverage without compromising ventilation on the climb. It is a great option when a trail helmet is not enough, but a dedicated downhill race helmet feels like more than you need.
Our Thoughts
This is the full-face for riders who earn their descents. It has the coverage and certifications needed for hard riding, but the weight, ventilation and adjustable cheek pads make it much easier to live with on a pedal day. The Fidlock buckle and breakaway mount are small details that become genuinely useful on the trail.
