  The Volt is an amazing combination of massive ventilation, svelte weight, and high-tech comfort. Eleven frontal vents corral massive amounts of air with the help of the Volt's custom-sculpted Composite Fiber Intakes (CFI) which direct flow to the helmets internal StreamJet Ventilation Channels. Rearward exhaust ports and the moisture-wicking X-Static Padding work in tandem to help keep the rider cool and dry. The Volt is made even more comfortable by Bell's next-generation Twin Axis Gear (TAG) fit system that allows riders to both dial in the exact fit, as well as adjust the mechanism's vertical position on the back of the head. Designed to be used on-or off-road, the Volt features Bell's removable Variable Position Visor (VPV) and is equally at home in Tour De France as it is on the World Cup XC mountain bike circuit.

  • Bell’s Composite Fiber Intakes™ (CFI) serve double duty on the all-new Volt. First, they serve as an ultra lightweight yet rigid skeleton to reinforce the helmet’s overall structure. Second, their directional orientation deflects airflow to the helmet’s internal StreamJet Ventilation™ system which uses the Venturi Effect to increase ventilation velocity and cooling.

  • In-molding is the process of bonding the helmet’s Microshell to its EPS foam layer to provide a sturdier, more solid helmet. The EPS foam is shot into the thin Microshell cap when it’s in the mold—thus the name—rather than formed separately and taped on later. This process was pioneered by Bell and is now the industry standard for all high-end helmets. All but our toddler helmets are now made with this construction method.

  • In-Mold bottom wraps bring a new level of durability, solidity and aesthetics to helmets. By bonding Microshell material to the lower half of the helmet, In-Mold bottom wraps cover what on most helmets is a less durable, exposed EPS foam.

  • In order to maximize venting and minimize bulk, high-end helmets feature internal reinforcement structures. These composite skeletons fortify helmets the same way rebar makes concrete stronger, allowing for bigger vents, more advanced styling and lighter weight, while still meeting stringent safety standards.

  • Getting helmet graphics to hit the right spot on the helmet without distorting or warping is more challenging than most people realize. It’s why you see many of our competitors only doing helmets in solid colors or with very simple graphics. Bell designers have pioneered methods for registering graphics, so that we can make some of the most graphically complex and visually appealing helmets in the world.

  • Exclusively for the Volt, Bell engineers created an airflow matrix that mixes the deeply sculpted Channeled Ventilation ducts with specially designed constriction channels that use the Venturi Effect to increase airflow rates. The result of the alternating high volume and high airflow channels is a system that efficiently moves cool air in the front and exhausts warm flow out the rear of the helmet.

  • Bell’s next-generation Twin Axis Gear™ (TAG) fit system adjusts to the head on two axes—circumferentially as standard fit systems do, but also horizontally to better accommodate differences in the up/down position of the occipital lobe. For added comfort we’ve co-molded the system arms with soft rubber and positioned them higher to better accommodate eyewear. The result is the most adjustable, comfortable and easy-to-use fit system ever.

  • Bell’s top-of-the-line Variable Position Visor allows for 15 degrees of horizontal adjustment by using an imbedded clutch mechanism that holds the visor firmly at the desired angle. Changing the VPV’s angle just takes a simple up or down tug.

  • Visor Plugs are designed to be snapped into visor receptacles when the visor is removed to give the helmet a finished look.

  • Woven with real silver fibers, X-Static™ Padding is a quick-drying material that inhibits growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi while keeping you cooler than standard comfort pads.

• A suitable fit & size for females - road or mtb

  I'm a female mtb and roady with a 'feminine' sized head - yes, it's small. But the Volt doesn't look ridiculously oversized on my pin-head. Priced well for a great fit and look - so much that I've got one for the road and one for the mtb. Will certainly be going back for another Volt when the time comes.

  Kept me out of the hospital...

  I was on a downhill coming around a small turn and hit a pothole. I lost control and went right over the bike. The first thing that hit the pavement was my head. It was a full impact hit to the right center front of my skull. There is no doubt in my mind that I would have been in the hospital or worse had I not been wearing a helmet. Other than a lot of road rash, stiff neck and shoulders I was able to finish my ride. I immediately went down to my bike shop and got another one. Took it home and stared at it in amazement. It could have been so much worse.
  
  Fit is great, looks great, does it's job.

  just saved my life...

  As soon as I tried it on I immediately bought it. Lightest,most comfortable helmet I've ever worn. Last Wednesday I had a run-in with a large SUV and ended up in a pile in the middle of the intersection. I landed on the side of my head and shoulder when I hit. The helmet is cracked up the side and scraped up pretty bad. I'm just glad that damage is on the helmet and not my head. I'll be going to pick up a replacement tomorrow... maybe I'll see if they sell them in neon yellow. :)

  This helmet is very nice:))
