The VPV allows for 15 degrees of vertical adjustment by using an imbedded clutch mechanism that holds the visor firmly at the desired angle, but allows for easy, on-the-fly changes. Couple this with the 20 breezy vents, Bell's signature GPS fit system, Fusion In-Mold Microshell and bottom wrap, internal reinforcements and precision graphics, and you have a helmet that's destined to go from box to podium in no time flat. | | | Features: | |
• Constructed with fusion in-mold microshell and in-mold bottom wrap
• Utilizes GPS fit system, internal reinforcement, and cam-lock levers
• 20 channeled vents force cool air in and warm air out
• Weighs 309 grams and comes in three sizes
• Complies with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets

 A Great, Cool HelmetJul 19, 2010
By W. Littlejohn
"WWL"
The Bell Sweep is easily the best helmet I've owned.
This is my third Bell helmet in the last decade(like others state you either have a Bell head or a Giro head). The Bell Alchera fit well but was really hot while the Bell Ghisallo fit perfectly but was just too hot when the temp got over 85. I even began to skip wearing a helmet on hot humid rides which drove my wife nuts. So I did a bit of research and decided to pay a bit more for the Sweep.
What a difference. You can actually feel the ventilation. I know this costs more but it is worth it. Not even close. I'm not much of a reviewer but this product has allowed me to enjoy riding again in hot, humid weather. As for pricing, remember all the Sweep variations are really the same helmet. The XC version includes a visor (which I don't use) but is exactly the same as the "R" so find the cheapest Sweep you can get (in your preferred color of course) and go for it.

Couldn't be betterJul 05, 2011
By Christopher
This is my fourth Bell helmet and I couldn't be happier. This one replaced another Sweep that I cracked in a pretty severe crash, and left my noggin unscathed. Better to crack the helmet than the head.
I find that Bell helmets fit my XL head the best and provide plenty of cooling thru the vents. Highly recommend this product, especially if you have an XL hat size.

Lightweight and great for hot weatherJun 18, 2011
By M. Owen
I purchased this on Amazon due to the great reviews and good price. I like how lightweight it is. There are plenty of vents so it keeps your head cool while riding. I like the look and color of this helmet. I have the Matte Black/Carbon color. The visor is nice because it can tilt up or down slightly to adjust the angle if needed.

Great HelmetJun 14, 2011
By Loren Smith
Got this helmet mainly becase there are very few helmets out there that look goof and are affordable. I wanted to get a Giro but I cant see myself spending $150-$200 on a helmet. This was very afordable and looks great. My last helment was about 10 years old so it was time to get something newer with the amount or riding I was doing. This also keep my head quite a bit cooler on the long rider or steep climbs.
My helmet brings all the boys to the yardMay 18, 2012
By Drew
I was in the market for a helmet, I decided it would be sensible to have something between my cranium and a potential car windshield. Being the miserly man I am, I tried on several $60 dollar helmets, none of which felt secure to my head. The sweep feels like it was tailor made for my noggin, it feels like a helmet much more expensive than $110. I cant say enough good things about it, it's extremely light weight, fits to my head perfectly, feels extremely secure with TAG system, plus the ventilation is predictably superb.
