Description

ALL-MOUNTAIN, TRANSFORMED. The Super 3R gives you everything you need to own the trail. It's designed for the ever-changing needs of trail riding with a unique removable chin bar technology that basically gives you two helmets in one. You can remove and carry the chin bar in your pack during long climbs, and then lock it in place for that added boost of confidence on technical terrain. The easy, tool-free installation and removal process takes seconds. The Float Fit system is lighter and more comfortable with a rubber dial, plus this year No-Twist Tri-Glides have been adopted for added ease of adjustment. Other trail-specific features include our GoggleGuide adjustable visor, a breakaway camera mount, and Overbrow Ventilation. The Super 3R includes MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System), which can provide an additional measure of protection in certain impacts.

  • It works and it looks cool
Color: Matte Black/Gray Size: Large (58-62 cm)
The helmet is super lightweight and breathable, even in the near 100F heat we have been getting. For me, it fits true to size, it's adjustable, and the facemask is easily detachable yet sturdy. It's saved my head once already in a moderate 10mph crash taking it easy on some pine straw. My head hit the ground despite my best effort to catch myself and I am SO glad I had this helmet on! Please remember, all the gear, all the time! For my EUC riders out there, I highly, highly recommend a pair of wrist guards and knee pads as well - at a minimum. My only gripe is I don't see a DOT safety rating, otherwise, 10/10. ... show more

  • Bell Super 3R vs Giro Switchbade.
Bell Super 3R vs Giro Switchbade. First a bit about how I ride. I have to climb everything I go down, so trail riding, but I still hit the downhills as hard as I dare, and really need a FF for those times. I have a Sixsixone FF which is fine if I'm just going downhill the whole time, but as with most trail riding you also hit trails that go back up a ways then down again. The FF really doesn't work well for this, so I've been looking for a hybrid which I can adjust easier than taking the FF on and off constantly. I first bought the new Giro Switchblade without trying it first, as no one had it available locally. It looked great at first glance, but after trying it on I realized there were several things which weren't going to work for me and how I ride. The build and protection are excellent on the Switchblade, arguably better than even my Sixsixone, it is officially downhill rated after all. The locking mech is great as well. It also had good and very thick padding inside. However, this is where the bad came in, the MIPS dial sticks down a ways and when you bend your head back in aggressive riding stance the dial would dig into my back bone. Besides the discomfort it also seemed dangerous if you crashed head first... the dial would drive right through your backbone! I also found the Switchbade to be very hot, after just a few minutes of wearing it around the house only I was already breaking a sweat. The cheek pads were way too tight, even the thinner supplied ones. I think this helmet was probably as hot as my FF Sixsixone in fact. The MIPS also didn't fit my head well, I found there were pressure spots and loose spots insde. Lastly, I didn't like having my ear covered up as I use sound a lot for my balance. I returned the Switchbade right away as there was no way I could live with those issues. Next I took the only other hybrid choice and picked up the Bell 3R. After my Switchbade experience I was doubtful, but ended up pleasantly surprised! First off the 3R is noticeably lighter duty than the Switchbade. The 3R is not downhill rated, and it shows. The chin guard doesn't secure quite as solid as the Switchbade, and the chin guard is a lot more flexible and light duty. The padding in the 3R is also a lot thinner. On the good side, the 3R fits my head much better. The top of my ears rub a little on the helmet, but it's not too bad. The helmet seems a bit wide, and the straps come down from the outside of the helmet, allowing it to wobble a little side to side, but not bad enough I can't live with it. The MIPS dial does not dig into my spine at any angle which is what is most important for me. Being lighter the 3R also doesn't heat up nearly as bad as the Switchblade, it's actually amazingly cool. I was very surprised on the trail just how cool (temp) this helmet is, even with the chin guard on. It also felt a lot lighter on my head, which made me less distracted by it so I could concentrate on riding. I do think the 3R chin guard is a bit more difficult to install than the Grio, but after a few tries I've already gotten a lot better at it. Thumbs up on the 3R! it's not totally perfect, but close enough for me. I hope this is helpful for anyone looking at both of these. **Update** I had my first BIG crash with this helmet yesterday! These things are never something we're prepared for, it just happens. I am SOOOO glad I was wearing this helmet, and particularly in FF mode!! Had I not been I would definitely been in the hospital right now and missing some teeth/facial flesh! Long story short, I took a jump and then mistimed a second one shortly afterward, stuffing my front wheel in a 3ft hole at medium speed. I was tossed about 6ft into a rocky creek head first. I hit my face/head so hard that my eyes would not focus or stay straight for about 5minutes and my ears were ringing loudly. My riding glasses lenses broke out of the frame! When I got up and got my sight back I could not believe that there was no damage to my face/head. Today I have a good solid headache and messed up back/shoulder, but my head and face are untouched. This helmet saved my ass! That said, I had the small chin guards in.. or the inner pads removed, depending on how you look at it. While this was a lot more comfortable, it did allow my face to press more to the front of the helmet on impact and -just- slightly made cheek contact on the ground. I see the value in having those beefy cheek pads now... ... show more

  • for 200+ dollars I was expecting a superior helmet far beyond what you'd get for 20-60 bucks
I've been riding with this helmet for about 3 months now. I ride trails on a full suspension Mtb and a cyclocross to work everyday, while wearing the full helmet. I purchased this helmet because it's the only lightweight, breathable, optional full face on the market currently. I had an accident on my daily commute while I was wearing a roadie helmet and slid for about 10 yards in the grass, on my face. The basic helmet didn't help at all. Since I was riding trails too, I decided on this. I'll be honest, for 200+ dollars I was expecting a superior helmet far beyond what you'd get for 20-60 bucks. The buckles and straps, the pads, the MIPS protection all feel very good and are of quality... But it still somewhat feels like the cheaper helmets. The paint job really sets it apart though; I picked up the Orion colors. Overall,this protects my face for the uses I put it through. It's very comfortable, and breathes very well, like a roadie helmet. It's not very aerodynamic, but personally I don't care. I can also remove the full face if I'm just on a low paced stroll with the GF. I wouldn't take it on a downhill track, but for everything else it fits the bill. Is it worth the money? For me, and others that have similar uses, yes. If you feel the price could be too steep, then you're probably right. If you don't absolutely feel the need for a full face, stick with one of the regular helmets on sale at your lbs or performance. For the hardcore downhillers, you probably want something a little more... Hardcore. 5 stars for me - if you're on the fence or consider yourself extreme red bull stuff - look elsewhere. ... show more

  • Very Amazing helmet
Color: Matte Blue/Bright Blue (2023) Size: Medium (55-59 cm)
I bought one of these back in November for my son. They didn't have this color and the amazing thing is the mips is able to accommodate my big head as well as his semi big head. He is a 53 and I am a 57 to 58cm. The price was amazing. Love the fit and the ability to use or not use as a full face helmet. He rides full face now all the time. Too many face plants with his bottom lip getting messed up. We have not had any serious wrecks yet, but I have owned many Bell helmets and have and some pretty scary wrecks on my mountain bike that I would not be here now if it wasn't for my helmet. There are so many great options out there and we chose this model and brand and are super satisfied. ... show more

  • Durability in a spill
Color: Matte Dark Gray/Gunmetal Size: Small (52-56 cm)
In my case of being a crazy guy, the helmet is like a time! Takes a lock-in and keeps you tickin. The versatility in this unit is well worth it and is stylish with great ventilation that’s comfortable for hours of riding.

  • Great Fit, Good Look, Old stock
Color: Matte Blue/Bright Blue (2023) Size: Large (58-62 cm)
I wound up ordering two of these helmets in July of 2024. Both arrive with Manufacture dates in 2021. I'm not expecting these to be sent direct from the factory out to the consumer or anything, but three years on the shelf is a bit much. Other than that issue the helmet is fantastic, it's light weight with great ventilation and doesn't give you that same boxed in feeling that a motorcycle helmet does. Removable chin bar is great and allows for more versatile use. Padding it sufficient with the cheek pads being extra fluffy. ... show more

  • Nice helmet!
Color: Matte Black/Gray Size: Large (58-62 cm)
I'm very happy with this helmet. I have not taken a fall with it yet but it's comfortable to ride with even in very hot long days. The lower detachment system is designed well and is solid.
