Bell Drop helmet or 661 comp helmet?

[Carel22]

Hi , I am new to the downhill scene and want to know which fullface helmet to buy. Should I buy a Bell Drop or a 661 comp?

I would go for the 661 Comp personally. Extremely comfortable and even better value for money!! Fits nice and snug and breathes well enough to use for enduro too.

 

Personally not a huge fan of Bell, the fit and prices usually don't work for me compared to the 661. But that is my 2c.

 

BUT...if the Bell is in the same price range as the 661 and it has MIPS, go for the bell. Safety first! And MIPS is worth it!

 

But it's down to fit and budget and what will be the best protection!

I'm with Jakes on the 661. 

 

The Bell Drop is on old model which has been discontinued. 

If you are on a tight budget also have a look at the POC Cortex Flow on sale here:

As Jakes said. 661 all the way.

The fit is perfect for me. No looseness/play anywhere and cheek pads fits firmly.

Thanks for the info. I am definitely going to buy the 661
