Bell Z20 Aero Helmet (MIPS) Review

• The Z20 Aero Helmet, with MIPS technology, comes feature packed to optimise your performance and comfort while on the bike, while at the same time ensuring that you’re exceptionally well protected should you take a fall. The aerodynamic design reduces drag and so lets you maintain speed for a reduced expenditure of power, saving you vital energy when the race is on.  Of course, protection is also a key focus here and Bell employs a progressive layering energy management system that sees two layers of hard-shelled EPS foam in addition to the integrated MIPS system, resulting in a helmet that has a remarkably sleek and compact design while delivering improved impact performance when compared to standard designs. This same multi-layer system also allows Bell to boost airflow and ventilation without compromising protection, keeping you cooler and fresher as the hammer gets dropped. Lastly, the Overbrow Ventilation features intake ports on the brow of the helmet to channel in cool air and push it through the air-channel matrix for full-head ventilation.  When it comes to a customised fit you’re also getting the best system possible. The MIPS system integrates with the Bell Float Fit Race™ retention system – this gives you control of both height and width of the head support cradle via an easy to use twist dial. The integration of the MIPS also reduces weight, minimises complexity and allows Bell to further optimise ventilation. The Z20 feature set is completed with X-Static® and XT-2® padding, wicking away sweat to leave you fresh from first pedal stroke to last.    What is MIPS? • MIPS is a Brain Protection System • Rotational motion can cause brain injuries • The low friction layer allows a sliding movement of 10–15 mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impact • MIPS adds protection Bell Crash Replacement Scheme If you have an accident in any helmet it’s a good idea to replace it. Bell offers the peace of mind that if you have an accident wearing one of their helmets they will replace it at a reduced price. Find out more here.

As with many cyclists, be it mountain bikers, BMX riders or road cyclists we want to take the time to make sure we get the best products. Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices. They were just so low that alarm bells should instantly be ringing. That’s why we only recommend buying from the retailers that you really know and trust, names like Wiggle, Chain Reaction and Evans Cycles are just some of those that we use regularly. With these retailers you know you’re in safe hands and can expect great service, great returns policies and if anything was to go wrong great customer service under a warranty claim.
