The Bell Standard
Since 1954, Bell’s testing approach has been to consider the various
aspects of an impact. Speed, direction, track conditions, and other factors
are critical to consider when it comes to testing helmets for the real world.
PROTECTION ACROSS THE BOARD
LINEAR ACCELERATION
ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION
VELOCITY TESTING
A weighted mass dropped
at multiple speeds onto
varying surfaces.
Our flexible-platform rig
allows us to vary the angle,
speed, and weight
of the drop mass.
Testing at varying speeds helps
to represent unique
crash scenarios.
Retention testing
Penetration testing
Fit studies
Hot, cold, and wet impact conditions
Durability testing
Visibility testing
Aerodynamic studies
Rider feedback studies
