Product Description

Product Description

The Bell Triton Fusion Sport 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 features Bell's ErgoDial fit system to deliver an easy one-hand adjustment with the press of a button and slide of the dial for a firm, snug and comfortable stability.

The Triton also features a removable snap-in visor, and cam-lock levers that make it easy to adjust the straps around your ears. For your comfort, this bicycle helmet includes 17 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and warm air out. The Triton helmet comes in Bell's Universal Large size (58-65cm), weighs 330 grams, and complies with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! It's perfect!, March 6, 2008

This review is from: Bell Triton Bike Helmet (Sports)

I have tried every large or extra-large helmet available for years. The Giro Atlas II, Garneau Robota, and Trek Interval XL are all advertised as extended size products. None of those helmets fit me. I also tried several high end Limar helmets that are widely recommended for larger heads, but they still didn't fit me. I wear a 7-3/4 or 8 hat (depends on the hat). Some of the extended size helmets had a large enough band, but still sat very high on my head because the shell was too small. It seems that I have a tall and big head.

The first time I slipped this helmet on it felt like a miracle. I have easily tried on 50 different helmets over the years and this is the first one that looked good and felt comfortable.

The styling is great. It looks like a road style helmet if you remove the snap-on visor. It breathes very well. The fit adjustment system is nicer than the one on my $120 Giro that gives me headaches from the tight band. After adjustment I have a little over 2" of strap left, so I think that Bell may have lengthened it since the earlier reviewer received his.

If you need an XL helmet, this is your model. Don't let the low price scare you away. It fits big heads, has top of the line features, and looks great as a mountain bike helmet or road bike helmet. I would have bought it at three times the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bell Makes Large Helmet But Fails To Make Sufficiently Long Straps, October 13, 2006

By

This review is from: Bell Triton Bike Helmet (Sports)

I recently purchased this bicycle helmet (Bell Triton for "those who are large of head") and found the fit on my large head to be very comfortable. Upon trying to adjust the straps, however, I found the straps to be too short for a comfortable fit that doesn't feel like it is going to choke me out. I understand the difference between snug and so snug that it gives the feeling of being choked out. Why didn't Bell make the straps an inch or maybe two longer to match the size of the helmet? I'm very disappointed in Bell on this issue. I sent Bell an email asking for assistance with either an extension strap or the male and female buckle ends so that I could make an extension myself. NO RESPONSE! I then called their 1-800 number and asked about an extension buckle/strap and they told me that they did not carry such an item. They would supply me witha replacement male buckle but refused to sell me the female part so I could manufacture my own extension strap. (No doubt because of personal injury lawyers and liability... Thanks guys!)

So, I'm left to fend for myself. I'll have to manufacture an extension strap. I want to be safe and wear a bicycle helmet and Bell manufactures a helmet that will fit my head. They don't, however, manufacture the helmet with straps long enough to match the size of the helmet. Let the buyer beware.

Addendum: I recently found my old regular sized Bell helmet from some years back (OK, from about 15 years back) and was able to wear it although it was quite snug. I found that the straps from the OLD regular sized helmet were LONGER than the straps on the new oversized helmet. This is obviously a design flaw and now I'm even more disappointed in Bell. Bell? Are you listening? You screwed up.

I tried it in a friend's house and said "I definitely need this one". Very comfortable and good for my big head (64 cm in girth...). I am pleased that they finally decided to take care of us in the top 5 percentile :-)
