can attest that the Bell MX-9 is quality gear , however , be warned , it does come with DOT and ECE ratings but lacks SNELL or SHARP , it just means it doesn ’ t have an independent third-party rating , like many other helmets on the market .
The Bell MX-9 is generally a helmet better suited to the more dirt orientated rider , and whilst that is said it does perform well on long distance highway rides .
Overall , the Bell MX-9 is a good all-round helmet , offering many features you ’ d expect from a company like Bell and all at a competitive price .
