It occupies the sweet spot in the half-shell MTB category — offering extended rear head coverage typical of trail-focused designs, aggressive ventilation that keeps pace with high-output riding, and MIPS rotational protection as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 3.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eMIPS is non-negotiable in a modern MTB helmet. The forces involved in trail riding — particularly the oblique impacts common in off-camber crashes and technical terrain tumbles — make rotational protection genuinely important. Bell's MIPS integration in the 4Forty Air is seamlessly built into the fit system, so it doesn't complicate sizing or create any perceptible movement during normal riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 3.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eThe \"Air\" designation reflects a real ventilation upgrade over the standard 4Forty. Larger vent openings and a revised internal channelling system deliver noticeably more airflow on climbs and sustained technical efforts, making it a better choice for riders who run hot on physical trails. The Float Fit dial system provides quick micro-adjustments and holds firm on rough terrain where cheaper retention systems tend to shift and loosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 3.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eAvailable in White and Matte Black — two clean colourways that work with most kit and bike setups. Sizes Small\/Medium and Large\/Extra-Large cover the majority of adult head sizes. Whether you ride flow trails, enduro-style terrain, or aggressive singletrack, the 4Forty Air MIPS offers a strong combination of protection, breathability and value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 3.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eFree shipping Australia-wide on orders over $100.

Part road helmet, part trail helmet, designed for the growing community of cyclists who gravel ride one day, hit singletrack the next, and might be bikepacking the weekend after. If you want one premium helmet that handles all of it, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 3.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eAt its core is Bell's Spherical Technology powered by Mips — a genuine ball-and-socket construction where the outer liner rotates independently around the inner liner during a crash. This helps redirect rotational forces away from the brain in oblique impacts, the most common type in real-world cycling. It's the same protection architecture used in Bell's flagship Super Air R, and one of the most advanced safety systems available in a cycling helmet today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 3.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eThe Fidlock magnetic chin buckle is one of those features that sounds minor until you've used it. It snaps effortlessly closed with one hand — a genuine improvement on a cold morning in gloves. The Float Fit system is a lightweight dial retention system integrated directly with the MIPS liner, providing a precisely snug fit without any interference between the two systems. Inside, Ionic+ padding is quick-drying and treated to resist odour-causing bacteria, keeping the helmet fresh through long rides and warm days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 3.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eOverbrow Ventilation channels cool air through intake ports on the brow and pushes it through an internal air-channel matrix, delivering airflow across the full head. Despite offering trail-appropriate rear coverage, the XR Spherical breathes like a road lid. At 285g in a medium, it's genuinely light for the level of protection and features on offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 3.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eAvailable in Black\/Red and Lavender, both in matte finish.

It's the helmet for riders who want genuine safety credentials and real-world versatility without stepping up to Spherical Technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 3.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eMIPS is an independently validated low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows approximately 10–15mm of movement between the head and helmet shell during an impact.
