Features

  • FUSION POLYCARBONATE SHELL & PROGRESSIVE LAYERING CONSTRUCTION - A process pioneered by Bell bonds the helmet's outer shell to the EPS foam liner to create a sturdier helmet. The process of engineering a helmet liner with variable EPS foam densities to better manage the transfer of energies after some impacts.
  • FLOAT FIT RACE (INTEGRATED WITH MIPS) & MIPS-EQUIPPED - Custom fit at the highest performance, Seemlessly integrated with MIPS and offers three-way adjustability: height, pad width and tension. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts.
  • X-STATIC AND XT2 PADDING & SWEAT GUIDE - Quick-drying materials, woven with real silver fibers. Sweat Guide pad design pulls moisture away from the brow pad and away from eyewear.
  • NO-TWIST TRI-GLIDES & PROGRESSIVE LAYERING - Quick-adjust fasteners that help keep straps flat and properly positioned. The process of engineering a helmet liner with variable EPS foam densities to better manage the transfer of energies after some impacts.
  • SPECIFICATIONS - Small (52-56 cm), Medium (55-59 cm), and Large (58-62 cm) Sizes. Important: always take a head measurement. Head sizes and shapes can vary, even within an age range. Using a helmet that does not fit can be dangerous; Overbrow Ventilation System with 18 vents.

Description

HEAD OF THE PACK. The Z20 is the result of years spent analyzing how helmets fit, optimizing aerodynamics, reviewing test data, gathering real-world feedback, and applying our cumulative knowledge of impact management. Our unique progressive layering energy management system utilizes two separate layers of hard-shelled EPS foam in addition to Integrated MIPS -- enabling us to improve impact performance via multi-density foam and at the same time deliver a more compact overall shape, sleeker design, and maximized ventilation. And thanks to a smart combination of the MIPS layer and retention system, the Z20 sets a new standard in fit and comfort. Superb fit is further optimized with the Float Fit Race retention system, featuring height- and width-adjustable cradles and an intuitive, easy-to-use tension dial, and then finished off with our comfortable and sweat-wicking X-Static padding. No matter how long, hot or hard the ride is, the Z20 will ensure that cool heads prevail.

  • Great fit. Super Comfortable.
I was wearing KASK Mojito because it was the only brand I could find fits generally rounder Asian heads. But as a sweat head the endless dripping inside my glasses really bothered me, although it's light and looks good. And then I came across the Z20 (Zephyr). I used to wear Bell motorcycle helmets and I loved it, so I decided to give it a try. Oh man! It feels like it's specifically made for my head. The MIPS is secure and with the retention dial in the back plus the flexibility of the structure, it sits on my head, tight, and I never feel caged. I basically forgot I wear a helmet. Well done, it lives up to the name Floating Retention. It is well ventilated and looks good, the size M doesn't make me look like a moving mushroom (sorry POD). It's not on the super light side but after about 40 miles ride today I didn't feel any upper back pain. The X-Static really does its job channeling the sweat to the very front. It's just like sitting under an eaves, you see the water dripping, close, but no cigar. I love the helmet and I highly recommend it to round-headed, sweat happy people like me. ... show more

  • Great reflective helmet
Color: Ghost Matte Orange Reflective (2019) Size: Small (52-56 cm)
I bought this helmet after using my head to bash the side of my old one on the street. That one had MIPS, and I had no concussion, headache, stars, or anything, even though my arm and legs were scraped, bruised, and bleeding, and my neck and shoulder hurt for a week. I will stick with MIPS! This helmet is light and airy. I can feel the breeze on my head when I'm going really fast. I have long hair, and wear it in a ponytail when I ride. I have not had the issues other reviewers have reported. My hair has never gotten stuck or pulled. The helmet does not shift around. The chin strap has a holder for the loose end. I forget that I have it on. I do get some forehead marks, but I haven't taken the time to check out the other adjustments, as it fit fine out of the box with just a quick twist of the dial and some strap adjustment. The straps were easier to adjust than on some other helmets I tried. The only negative is that it doesnt have a visor. I miss that, both because of the sun protection and the holder for my "Take a Look" mirror, which I had to attach to my sunglasses instead. If I stay out too late and switch to clear safety glasses, I no longer have a mirror. That, however, is a choice. I knew there was no visor when I ordered the helmet. Just wanted to point that out. I wish they would add a removable visor. Oh yeah, the reflective paint (Ghost model only) works great! I'm posting a photo where I set it in the driveway at night and shone a flashlight on it. ... show more

  • water silver and kryptonite as a fashion statement
Well, that is the color combination that this helmet is called. I have two of the Z20 Mips helmets so you could say I have standardized on this brand/model. According to the size chart, I am right on the borderline between the small and medium, so I bought the medium and I don't think the small would have fit because I have released almost all of the adjustment in the headband. My recommendation is if you are on the border, go up to the next larger size. I really like this helmet and it is really good looking too. ... show more

  • Better helmet for bald people.
I love this helmet. It looks and feels great. Its light white, fairly aero and pretty breathable. It suprised me Bell isnt bigger in the road bike industry. there is one downfall though - It can be a nightmare for people with any amount of hair or facial hair. The adjustable components auch as the strap and the rear tightening mechanism eat hair like no tomorrow if youre not careful. Remember to keep a finger in between the buckle and your hair when adjusting. ... show more

  • MIPS improved head protection - sellers price gouging - poor instructions for fitting helmet
When I became aware of the MIPS helmets I decided to buy a new helmet that provided this function. I have never needed a bike helmet but after a fall from a failed ladder resulted in a severe concussion took me 18 months to fully recover, I appreciate the value of having the best possible bike helmet. The fitting instructions are terrible. There are three adjustment mechanisms and the instruction only cover one of the three. I had to search on youtube to find third party videos that covered how to best fit the helmet to my head. My first Bell helmet was purchased in 1974 and it was a terrible design with very little air flow. Wearing it meant a high probability of heat stroke and so I never road it on my long distance tours. With current helmet designs that is not a problem and there are almost too many helmets from which to chose. For a MIPS helmet I narrowed my selection to a helmet from Lazer and this one from Bell. The Lazer has a design flaw in that it has a plastic adjustment device that hit the top of my head and was so not comfortable to wear. The Z20 has an excellent adjustment design and overall I have found the Bell helmets to be the most comfortable to wear while riding. Currently with the coronavirus rampaging across the globe there is a shortage of helmets and so many models were not available in a medium and eliminated 75% of my selection. Fortunately the Bell Z20 MIPS helmet in a medium was available. ... show more

  • Nice helmet, but poor implementation of MIPS
When I put the helmet on the MIPS inner liner gets caught on the foam and velcro, pulling the helmet to one side. The only way to get it unstuck is to remove the helmet and pick the liner off of whatever it is stuck against. The only way to avoid this is to very carefully and lower the helmet straight down onto my head, and even then a small bump or nudge can push it into the stuck position again. This is bad for a number of reasons: 1. Poor airflow, since the liner now blocks some of the air 2. Makes the helmet tilt to one side, and negates the benefits of having MIPS 3. Digs into the foam/velcro of the helmet, which will eventually wear down the foam, or pull off the velcro. My helmet is already showing significant signs of wear after 2 weeks. The catching could be abated by removing the sharp mold lines/flashing from the MIPS liner so it will have less of a tenancy to get caught on the foam. This helmet seems like it was designed without the MIPS system in mind. At this price point I expect this not to be a problem. ... show more
