Bell Marketing Manager Scott Scharples walks us through the 2016 lineup, including the new Star Wars edition helmets and an wider range of MIPS equipped helmets.
Star Wars returns this year to cinemas and to help promote the film, Lucas Arts has partnered with Bell to create a line of licensed helmets. Whether you’re drawn to the dark side or the Rebel’s cause, they have something that will appeal to your inner geek. Our personal favorite is Boba Fett edition Super 2R.
In addition to great new colorways, the brand has also been integrating MIPS anti-rotational technology in a number of its helmets. They currently have 13 different helmets across everything from commuter to performance mountain and trail lines.
Bell has even pushed the technology into its new line of children helmets, which now offer design cues from their adult trail line and extended coverage.
For the ladies, they’re developing a new set of colors and an ambassador program called Joyride, which is intended to encourage women to get out and ride. It’s an exciting new grassroots program that has grown out of the personal experiences of their employees and we’re thrilled to share more information as Bell rolls this out.
Bell has also been working on developing a new range of Urban Helmets. Their highest end offering is called the Annex and is available in two versions – one of which has a drop down eye shield, to offer e-bike riders eye protection at higher speeds. Both share a active ventilation system which can be closed when it’s cold out, as well as a detachable visor. They will also be available with MIPS technology.
A lower price point version called the Hub will also be available, although it will not have active venting or MIPS integration.

This model offers the option of MIPS (Multi- Directional Impact Protection System), which can provide an additional measure of protection in certain impacts. It has extended coverage in the rear, our easy-to-use ErgoDial Fit System, and a visor to complete the look.

That they are beautiful in their ultimate aesthetic is secondary. In the end we are creating an essential performance tool. We build it to use it.
