Bell stratus mips road helmet review.

No doubt it s because it takes its design cues from its pro level. 150 00 170 00 light and fast meets cool comfort for your most heated battles on the road. Road stratus mips stratus mips. Bell s attractively styled stratus mips has a three part fusion in mould polycarbonate outer shell which is bonded to the eps foam core strengthened by an internal polycarbonate roll cage.

The bell stratus offers a similar performance as bell s more premium helmets at a fraction of the price. The bell z20 mips helmet is bell s top of the line road bike helmet. 5 and 4 5 stars. The bell formula sits one notch below the excellent bell stratus helmet in the brand s extensive range of lids.

The stratus mips is bell s latest second rung helmet below the zephyr and shares many of its features the main differences being a single polycarbonate shell instead of the dual density laminate and a 70 saving. That s significant so if you can t stretch to the zephyr look here. The bell stratus mips road bike helmet is bell s second tier offering behind the premium z20 mips if you like what the z20 has to offer but can t justify the price then look no further than the bell stratus the stratus offers nearly all of the same features as the z20 although without some of the fit and finish in a lighter cheaper package. It is an extremely solid all around performer and we commend bell for keeping their ultra premium helmet around the 200 price range rather than creeping toward or past the 300 mark like some of the helmets that we reviewed.

Having been worn for a full british summer there hasn t been a time where the bell stratus mips has been stifling or overwhelming. The helmet adjusts well with the rear adjustment dial while the front straps are free from tangles with the no twist tri glides system. Specialized s works evade with angi. From long climbs to finishing sprints stratus helps you stay at the front of the pack.

For those of us heavy sweaters the sweat guide pad over the brow is very much appreciated. Find your nearest dealer here.
