Bell Super DH Convertible Helmet - Long-term Review

[@Eridebrodad]

What is your favorite enduro/DH helmet? What do you think about convertible helmets? Nay or yay?

[@c0rky0001]

agree this is one of the best helmets out there, I`m as well on the second pair, had a fair few scary crashes on a big jumps, one of them direct landing onto my head, would swap this helmet for anything else. Crash tested and it works.

[@AdventureRich]

Pro tip... Buckle the back first and then the side clips after. That's when it snaps in place in a more solid way and feels way more secure

[@SeanKWhite-lk5zf]

Recently switched to an IXS trigger ff and love it. Super light. Great ventilation. Excellent fit system. Full dh rating.

[@SeanKWhite-lk5zf]

I had a switchblade before and never really found the convertible aspect really all that useful.

[@Eridebrodad]

Does it have a cinch in the back too? I’m looking to try a regular full face for bike park riding

[@SeanKWhite-lk5zf]

@@Eridebrodad yes it does. It’s actually so comfortable I am wearing it more than my half shell because there is no real penalty and a lot of benefits. Mine is only about 650 grams.

[@Eridebrodad]

@@SeanKWhite-lk5zf 650 grams!? Wow thats light!

[@SeanKWhite-lk5zf]

@@Eridebrodad it’s an impressive bit of engineering. I was wearing my Switchblade on afield trip to Bachelor and tried one on in their pro shop and immediately knew I needed to upgrade. Comfy as a half shell and full dh rating. Beautiful fit and finish as well.

Thank you for your content. I have a Super DH and it's okay but... Are you aware of any bike helmut(s), regardless of use case, that use a strap that's more like those used on motorcycle helmuts? I don't like the two thin Y-strap that is in front and back around the ear, the complicated adjustment, etc. Motorcycle helmuts often include wide/thick padding between the strap and neck, and/or quick-release like a zip-tie. These are so much better, and I don't know why bike helmut manufacturers won't innovate. Thanks.

Just an fyi helmets are a 1 crash helmet

[@jlai036]

Wow the magnetic buckle is hard?!... try d-ring with gloves. Traditional buckle is slower to attached and deattach compared to magnetic buckle The sun visor is suppose to break off easy for crashes

[@AdventureRich]

The buckle isn't hard, just frustrating at times when in full face mode. I'm half shell, I do it with one hand.

[@trailmaster]

Nice helmet. Meron akong Super Air R, good for enduro (not dh certified), wala akong masabi.

[@Eridebrodad]

My first helmer is super 3r. That’s the older model yata ng Super Air. Light and comfortable

[@huntrails7519]

Thanks for the review. Others have mentioned that the helmet is rather noisy. Did you notice anything of the kind?

[@AdventureRich]

Have mine for a year now, and I ride a lot! Never noticed the noise that people refer to 🤷🏾‍♂️

Watching bro Neil. Ganda ng fullface helmet mo na bell sulit na sulit.

[@Eridebrodad]

thanks bro! pede all-around

[@mtbbanditomtbchika7666]

Cool clip mi amigo! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽🤙🏽💯💯

[@Eridebrodad]

Thanks. What helmets do you use / like

[@mtbbanditomtbchika7666]

@@Eridebrodad I have a regular Cali helmet. Been thinking of getting a full face.. I did try one couldn’t got use to it. Maybe because it was tight and I was having a head ache. 😂😂. Definitely will think abou getting one the right size! Thanks mi amigo. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@asrulz]

What about Bell Super Air R? Do you think it can survive the same crash like you had before?

[@mobilelegendsreplays8397]

Bro good review. Have you tried on super Air? I am considering super 3R, super Air or DH. Still not sure go for which one. 🤔 my head size is around 56-57cm.

[@AdventureRich]

I'd go for the DH for the protection if you're gonna do bike parks etc. It's certified for that 🙏🏽

[@TrailPeakPinoy]

Nice review, muntik nako mapabili!

[@Eridebrodad]

Upgrade mo na ang Super 3R. mo lol

[@benjaminklyeisen2080]

I measurred 58cm for my head and ordered a M helmet. I got it today and I got the feeling it will rip my ears of when I try to pull it on or off. Also, when I got it on and open my mouth, my cheeks will be pushed between my teeths, so I think I will bite into my own cheeks badly on a crash event. I already put on the smaller pads that was in the package. Is this normal with full face helmets or should I try size L instead? Thanks for your help!

[@Eridebrodad]

I think M is too small for you. When you put it on, it should not cause pain or pressure on the side of your head. Get a Large and you can use the dial to tighten it down. Try measuring your head again, but don't make it tight using a "relaxed" measurement.

[@benjaminklyeisen2080]

@@Eridebrodad Ah, maybe this is the problem. When I am meassuring I alwasy tighten it up. Good hint. Also, I think my head is a little wider on the cheeks, maybe I should resell my e-bike and ride up the hill by myself 😀

[@benjaminklyeisen2080]

@@Eridebrodad The L size arrived. And yes, its much bigger. Now I can better make a difference. With the M size I wouldn't be able to even speak that much cause it pushed me cheek in between my teeths as so as I open my mouth. With the L size this isn't the case. But yes, it's really bigger and I hope the helmet doesn't get bigger over time.
