All the gear that matters

The big bad Bell

Bell helmet's Muni commuter helmet is a head protection gear that is worth your consideration for commuting, touring as well as leisure rides...

THE Bell Muni commuter's cycling helmet is worth your consideration as a worthy head protection gear.

Priced at RM229, the flagship helmet features a perfect fit with Bell's Twin Axis Gear (TAG) system which adjusts to the

head on two axes.

And no commuting or touring experience would be complete without a visor. The 2014 Muni features a reflector strip,

which is an improvement from the previous year model.

It can also be integrated with a flip mirror which can be mounted on the visor.

Another useful feature not found on other commuter helmets are the slots for a front and rear lights.

These are made by Blackburn lights and two models are compatible with the muni: the Blackburn Flea 2.0 USB headlight and Flea 2.0 rear light.

The Flea clips onto a slot on the front visor while the rear light slips snugly into a rear slot.

Unfortunately, these are rather expensive and not sold in Malaysia.

Weighing in at 290grammes, the Muni is lightweight.

A total of 21 ventilation holes in the helmet will keep your head cool when riding under extreme hot weather conditions.

This year's collection comes with six colours with the lime-green model being one of the most highly visible helmets in the

Bell Muni range.
