The Bell Story
At Bell, we all ride. Our parking lot is filled with bikes, not expensive cars, and you won’t find our headquarters in a high-rise or a big city. All the Bell magic happens right here in Santa Cruz, California. And if you’ve ever taken a ride over the world-famous Highway 17 on a nice day, or felt the gravel under your wheels while passing through the scenic back-roads of Big Basin, you’ll understand why.
Our helmets offer class-leading technical performance and style. And while they’re loved by pros like Metzger and McGrath, and worn by legends like Evel Knievel, they’re available to the guy who just got his first bike too. Over 50 years of experience goes into every helmet. From professional riders to first-time bike owners, all of our customers get the most trusted head protection on the planet.
At Bell, we live to ride. That’s the way it’s always been. Our mission is to make sure everyone in a Bell helmet (no matter how big they go) can live to ride over and over again.
OUR HISTORY IN HELMETS
We’ve been in this business for a long time. Long enough to have a pretty sweet collection of classics. To us, these helmets say it all.
