  I have a Bell Sweep helmet its about 2 yrs old, was thinking about replacing it with something different like a Giro or Specialized not that I didn't like it just wanted something different. Well on Saturday I came off my bike in a race doing over 50km/h went over the handle bars landed on my thigh and the back of my head. Got up finished the race, only when I finished did I see the damage to the helmet, it did exactly what it was supposed to do cracked all over the back. Thanks for a great product. Will be buying my new Bell hopefully very soon.

  BMC RACING TEAM

  We got an email asking if we're going to be offering Phillipe Gilbert's custom Bell Volt (pictured) for sale. We're actually giving it away free--you just have to win the Belgian national pro road title and it's yours.

  Seems like Gilbert is always animated and aggressive... even on training rides with his teammates.
