Description
Bell Super Air Spherical, Fasthouse Red / Black
Bell’s new Ball and Socket is the latest evolution of the MIPS slip plane technology designed to redirect energy during a crash. With the Bell Super Air Spherical ball and socket design the inner liner stays snug to your head while the outer shell is rotates on elastic bands. This provides a pathway for energy distribution unique to the ball and socket design.
Watch the video below for a detailed look at the Bell Super Air Spherical Ball & Socket system’s planes of motion.
