Saved My Life

Rating:*****
Unfortunately, I no longer have the privilege to use this helmet. But I can tell you that it very impressively did what it was supposed to do: it saved me in a violent crash. I slammed my head hard on the pavement, and I rode away with only the slightest of pain in my skull and a back scrape. I also undoubtedly loved the style with the "black/carbon" colors. When cinched down with the genius Ergodial, it is more comfortable and snug than I think any other helmet out there. On top of that, the price is fantastic. I really hope to get another one.

Saved My Head and Face!!!!

Rating:*****
Excellent helmet. Fits perfectly, comfortable padding, easy to adjust, good ventilation, super strong. I had this helmet on during my worst mountain biking accident, flew over handle bars, broke a rib and puncture a lung. This helmet saved my head and entire face from getting destroyed. You know what they say, once you bang it up hard, get a new one. So I bought a new Slant, don't think I'll ever get anything other than a Bell.

better safe than sorry

I bought it for my partner who was reticent to wear a helmet in the first place, but has been wearing it ever since without a second thought. We live in Brooklyn, NY and go bike riding through the city every weekend. It adjusts well and fits great. The only drawback is that the straps need to be readjusted a bit each time he puts it on.

Great buy!

Rating:****
I bike 7 mi to work everyday in hot and cold weather and this helmet works great for me. Lightweight and tough enough to toss around, this helmet vents well in 80 deg + heat. 4 stars only because there are no interchangeable pads, so if the adjustment system doesn't work for you you might be out of luck. In all, great helmet for a great price!

Great helmet at a decent price

Rating:*****
I'm a woman with a small and rounder head shape, and the Bell Slant, with its adjustment system, fits great. I have the dial tightened all the way, but the helmet fits snugly around the entire crown of my head evenly with no painful pressure points. It's a design I feel I can wear all day. The helmet looks very nice as well.

Great Value & Functionality

Rating:*****
I am a pretty rough and tumble mountain biker, so I appreciate helmets that are functional but inexpensive (since I replace them pretty frequently!). This helment does the trick. It's got great ventilation, is pretty lighweight, and adjusts easily.

A Cool Helmet

Rating:*****
Helmet fit is very comfortable and is well ventilated. Just getting back in to bike riding after a long break from riding. hope I do not have to test the durability of this helmet.

Good helmet

Rating:*****
I tried several helmets and this was only one which felt good on the first time try. Vents good and looks good.

Perfect all purpose helmet

Rating:*****
Much more comfortable than a more expensive helmet from a competitor. The adjustment on the back it perfect.
