Road & Gravel Helmets

Bell road and gravel helmets: where every surface is an option

The lines between road, gravel and mountain biking have never been blurrier — and Bell Helmets designed the XR range to ride that intersection without compromise. Light and airy enough for long road climbs, with enough coverage and ventilation for gravel adventures and XC riding, Bell's road and gravel helmets are built for riders who don't define themselves by a single surface. As the XR Spherical's own tagline puts it: mountain, road, and gravel — they all intersect here.

The Bell XR range: two helmets, one all-rounder philosophy

• XR Spherical: the flagship of the range. At just 285g, the XR Spherical combines Bell's proprietary Spherical Technology™ powered by Mips® — the ball-and-socket construction that redirects rotational forces in a crash — with Overbrow Ventilation™, a Fidlock® magnetic buckle, Ionic+™ antimicrobial padding and eyewear grips. Built as the modern world traveler: go as far into nature as you like, the XR Spherical is ready.
• XR Mips: the same all-rounder ethos and slim "Deep Road" profile as the XR Spherical, at a more accessible level. Mips® Evolve protection, Overbrow Ventilation™, Fidlock® magnetic buckle, Ionic+™ padding and eyewear storage. At 310g, the XR Mips brings the full XR experience to riders who want capable, versatile protection without compromise on quality.

Designed for every ride, every surface

Both XR helmets share the same core design intent: a slim, close-fitting profile that performs like a road helmet, with the coverage and build quality to handle whatever the route throws at it. Whether you're racing cyclocross, KOM'ing your local climb, exploring gravel roads or linking up trail systems, the XR range was built with you in mind.

Key features across the range include a precise fit system for secure on-bike stability, ventilation optimised for sustained effort on long climbs, and Bell's trusted construction quality — the same standards that have shaped helmet design since 1954.

The Bell gravel helmet for every rider

From the premium Spherical Technology™ of the XR Spherical to the accessible, race-ready protection of the XR Mips, Bell's road and gravel range covers every level. Explore both models and find the helmet that matches your ambition and your terrain.
