Sports reviews of Bell Adrenaline Bike HelmetCustomer Review: unique product Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I just purchased this after spending time in Walmart, Canadian Tire, and the bike shop, where I tried on everything available in my size.
Many of the models from Bell, Raleigh, and others, have an uncomfortable hard plastic piece that drops down and presses into the back of the head, right in a spot where I have a protrusion at the base of my skull...and all are uncomfortable.
The Adrenaline has an elastic passing across this area, which holds everything snug and causes no discomfort.
I also liked the coverage of the helmets which were dual bmx/skater stying, but after trying one on found it felt heavy, and saw it was around 485 grams. The Adrenaline is much lighter, about 260 or so, and I decided that was a preferable compromise.
The elastic in the back is part of what they call their "true fit" system, which ensures for kids (and adults) that the helmet fits your head and sits properly without any adjustment. Only the chin strap needs to be adjusted, and nothing to fiddle with on the side straps.
It felt like an excellent fit for me, but I guess it depends on your head shape being somewhere in the range that the helmet is designed for. Anyhow, it's certainly worth checking out.
Customer Review: Really is the easiest fit ever! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I got a Silver and Gray variant of this Adrenaline helmet because I hit a rut on the shoulder of the road on my bike and messed up my Schwinn helmet. The Schwinn helmet I used to use had the ratchet-tightener on the back of it and adjustable straps. I always had trouble trying to get the straps adjusted just right. When looking at helmets at a local store, I was considering getting the Schwinn Thrasher helmet (with the same system as my old helmet), but Bell really won me over with the QuickFit system. I couldn't believe when I tried it on, how easy it was to adjust--just tighten the chin strap, and that's it! I also like the rear reflectors, the no-pinch buckle, and the look of it, with the plastic shell also covering the bottom of the rear.
Never let anybody discourage you from wearing helmet. I was really glad that I had one on when I fell. My left shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle got scratched up, but my head was fine because I had a helmet on.
Customer Review: A safe helmet at a bargain! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I continue to buy Bell helmets because they are comfortable, safe, great looking and at a good price. After many years, my older Bell helmet which is similar to the Bell Fusion Slant had the little cushion pieces wearing out so I decided to get a new helmet. Once I put the Bell Adrenaline helmet on, it felt great and snug. It kept my head cool as well. Also, I like the design and color. My gripe is that the visor could be longer and lower and it's not as sleek as my other more expensive Bell helmet but the price surely makes up for it. I give this helmet a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Customer Review: Great helmet, depending on head size. Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It says adult helmet but it doesn't fit all the way on my head. Well, let me rephrase that, it does it all the way but it doesn't go as far down on my forehead as it should. Once again though I have a much larger than normal head.
The snap really is pinch free and it does work in the elements (got caught in the snow storm in Pittsburgh while riding and it kept the wind and snow out of my face.
Overall strong product and durable.
