Lightweight Mips Full-Face Protection for Jump Lines, BMX and Bike Park Riding
The Bell Sanction 2 DLX Mips® is a lightweight full-face helmet made for riders who split their time between jump lines, BMX tracks, bike parks and gravity trails. It brings key design features from Bell’s Full-10 platform into a durable, well-ventilated helmet that is properly certified for downhill and BMX riding.
With 14 vents, Ventilated DH Air padding, an Ionic+ antimicrobial comfort liner and a Fidlock® magnetic buckle, the Sanction 2 DLX Mips is built for riders who want dependable full-face coverage without the bulk or price of a race-only helmet.
Born Rowdy
The Sanction 2 DLX Mips uses a durable ABS shell and EPS liner to provide dependable full-face protection for demanding riding. Its streamlined profile, adjustable Flying Bridge visor and broad goggle compatibility make it equally at home on the local jump line or a full day at the bike park.
Mips Essential Protection
The integrated Mips Essential system is designed to help manage rotational motion in certain angled impacts. It adds an extra layer of impact management while keeping the helmet simple, comfortable and practical for regular use.
Built to Keep Air Moving
Fourteen vents work with Bell’s Ventilated DH Air padding to help move heat and moisture while riding. The Ionic+ antimicrobial liner uses silverised yarn to help manage odour and can be removed for washing after dusty park days or hot BMX sessions.

Who Is It For?
The Sanction 2 DLX Mips is for BMX riders, jump-line regulars, young gravity riders and anyone wanting a practical full-face helmet for bike-park and downhill riding. It is a particularly good choice when you need legitimate ASTM downhill and BMX certification without stepping into a premium race helmet.
Our Thoughts
This is a sensible full-face for riders who actually use their helmet often. It has the key safety certifications, useful ventilation, a Fidlock buckle and a proper adjustable visor, without loading it up with features most riders will never use. Great for progressing riders moving into steeper trails, bigger jumps and regular park laps.

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.
Helmets should be replaced after a significant impact. Always ensure the helmet is correctly fitted before riding. Certifications, colours and included accessories may vary by region or model year.
