This is the helmet that Mirra built. And Bestwick. And McCann. And Cooke. The Bell Faction sets a new standard in skate-inspired helmets, killing it on style, fit and comfort. Two signature colors from Dave Mirra and eight other inspired designs available. Go ahead...touch a helmet to see the detailed graphics.

Strengths:
Cheap, looks good, solid protection, awsome fit.
Weaknesses:
Foam will separate from the hard-shell after a while, but after its on your head, it doesn't move. Just glue it back in and your all good.

Bottom Line:
Good helmet at a great price. Recommended for all riders on a budget. Unless your a hardcore XC rider, this helmet offers good ventilation, and isn't to hot for trail rides, while still remaining burly enouph for freeride. Buy one.

Bottom Line:
Not a bad helmet, especially considering the price. I like to use in in the winter because it insulates well. Not so good in the summer, just too hot. I like that I can toss this helmet around and not worry about it getting ding'd up.

Bottom Line:
I just happen to think the BMX/skate style helmets look way cooler than roadie/xc helmets and whatever gets you to rock one is cool. These things are pretty cheap as well...hell, you could buy three or four for the price of a pneumo...one to match each of yer bikes.
