Off Road

Combine a thirst for high-speed adrenaline with a drive to test your skills across dirt, trails, and rugged terrain, and what you get is your average fearless off-road rider. From motocross tracks to backcountry adventure routes, choosing the right helmet is essential for protection and performance. With high speeds, technical obstacles, and the ever-changing conditions of dirt and adventure riding, the need for advanced safety in motocross and off-road helmets is clear. Bell Helmets has been a trusted name in the industry for decades, worn by the best in sport, and now offers a wide range of motocross and adventure helmets designed to fit your ride, wherever it takes you.

Bell’s Off-Road & Motocross Helmet Features

CoolJade™ Comfort Liners

Whether you’re on a motocross track or an all-day adventure ride, staying cool is key. Bell’s MX and adventure helmets come equipped with removable, washable liners that fight sweat, dirt, and odor. The CoolJade™ Comfort Liner, found in select models, uses recycled jade fabric to deliver a natural cooling effect, reducing skin temperature and keeping riders comfortable in demanding conditions.

MIPS and Spherical Technology™

Most Bell off-road helmets integrate MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) to help reduce rotational forces during a crash. Some advanced models, like the Moto-10, also feature Spherical Technology™ powered by MIPS for enhanced impact absorption. Whether you’re riding motocross, trail, or dual-sport, these innovations deliver next-level protection.

Advanced Ventilation Systems

Ventilation is critical for dirt and adventure riders alike. Bell helmets are designed with strategically placed intake and exhaust ports to maximize airflow, keeping you cool during track sessions or long-distance off-road treks. The Moto-10’s Thermal Exchange Airflow System™ (T.E.A.S.) creates a vacuum effect that draws in cool air and pushes out heat, ensuring consistent cooling even in extreme environments.

Size and Fit for Off-Road Riding

A secure fit is essential across motocross and adventure disciplines. Bell helmets are built with multiple shell sizes and customizable padding for both comfort and safety. A properly fitted helmet stays balanced during jumps, climbs, and long highway stretches, minimizing drag and maximizing control. On each product page, you’ll find a detailed size guide to help you get the right fit before you hit the dirt or the open road.
