Optimal ventilation is the difference between a good helmet and a great one: and Bell’s helmet is undoubtedly one of the latter through fitting bar vents, ten intake, and extraction vents around the upper and lower chin.

All in all, this is a cool and comfortable helmet at an unbeatable price.

Being a Snell SA2015 certified design, Conquer turn the fire retardant padding on the interior from a SA requirement into a notable feature.
