Product Description

Product Description

The Bell Ghisallo Road Bike Helmet is constructed with a fusion in-mold microshell, which utilizes the process of bonding the helmet's microshell to its EPS foam layer, rather than forming the two separately and taping them together later, to provide a sturdier, more solid helmet. This helmet also utilizes an in-mold bottom wrap to bring a greater level of durability and solidity by bonding microshell material to the lower half of the helmet as well. The Ghisallo features Bell's GPS (Geared Positioning System) fitting method to deliver an easy one-hand adjustment for the maximum in fit and comfort.

The Bell Ghisallo also features internal reinforcement through a composite skeleton that fortifies the helmet in the same way rebar makes concrete stronger, and cam-lock levers that make it easy to adjust the straps around your ears. For your comfort, this bicycle helmet includes 17 channeled vents that are specially designed to force cool, fresh air in through the front and around your head, while flushing warm air out of the rear ports. Bell's Ghisallo helmet comes in three sizes, weighs 300 grams, and complies with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.

5.0 out of 5 stars great helmet, March 31, 2007

I bought this as a replacement for the same model I've been using for about 2-1/2 years. It fits well, has plenty of ventilation, and is easy to adjust. I think the rear size adjustment is much easier to use than the Giro helmets, which is nice if you sometimes wear an earwarmer or skullcap underneath.
My one compaint is the downside of having lots of ventilation holes - it makes the wind noise loud, sometimes making you think a car is approaching when it's not. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved My Head!, November 21, 2008

I've had a Bell Ghisallo since 2001. It's comfortable, cool, and fits well (for some reason Bell fits my head, and Giro helmets to not). The big bonus came yesterday when I was riding to work and a car hit me. I broke a rib, punctured a lung, bruised my hip and shoulder, got a serious case of whiplash, and cracked my Ghisallo helmet. The helmet did it's job perfectly; My head is completely unscathed. The patron saint of cycling was with me yesterday for sure.

Cool. I live and ride in south fl, yes even in the summer with the heat index of 106. Bell helmets have always treated me well and while they also make the Giro brand as well the prices for Bell seem more reasonable. Honestly construction wise I think they are all pretty much the same. While my old Bell Furio fit my head more comfortably, the Ghisallo has more (and larger) vents and is definitely cooler. Plus I needed a new red helmet to match my new bike...
