Yeah thats definitely a good option! I actually really like using the switchblade without the chin bar most of the time so it's really suiting my needs well right now
I use the Giro Switchblade and love it but like I said in the video it depends on what youre looking for. I think the switchblade is more suitable in terms of heavy duty protection while the super 3r is more suitable as a trail helmet.
Nice review, and I wish I had a fun trail like that to ride! I just got the Giro (Neon green), and I can't wait to try it out. I'm thinking of even using it as a skiing/snowboarding helmet if I ever need it (So far I've never rocked a helmet on the slopes, but you never know).
BELL Super 3R Mips, toller MTB-Helm mit massivem Qualitätsproblem und uncooperativem Hersteller! ======================= Heute am 24.08.2021 habe ich über meinen Fachhandel, bei welchem ich den Helm gekauft hatte, eine Antwort auf den als Reklamation eingesendeten Helm vom Hersteller BELL erhalten. Antwort: Weil der Helm außerhalb der Garantiezeit ist, stellt BELL keinen Ersatz zur Verfügung und gewährt ebenso keine Kulanz irgendwelcher Art. Auf meine Nachfrage was mit dem Helm passiert ist, bekam ich "kein Kommentar" als Antwort! 🤷♂️ Es war ein schönes Konzept dieser Helm, aber ich werde wohl nie wieder einen BELL Helm kaufen. ☝👎 #BELL #Super3R #Problem ua-cam.com/video/bZTPfAywow8/v-deo.html
It's a different helmet! They still have the Super 3r which is not, but the newly designed Super DH is. Haven't had a chance to try it but looks pretty great
Thanks man you resolved my doubt. I wanna buy a helmet to ride my bike and to snowboarding. If ,in the Bell, you can´t use your goggles without the chin,the Giro will be.
hi. as far as sizing, which one did you go with for the giro? doe's it feel like it kind of floats above your head? i'm not used to mips so i don't really know how it should feel compared to a regular full-face with the padding that keeps it snug. if i put it on and strap it it, and i shake my head, it doesn't move but it wobbles a bit. is it normal? how's yours?
One Imaginary Boy there’s a little bit of float! In that regard it does feel more like a normal trail helmet than a downhill helmet because there isn’t the thick padding all around the inside
Interestingly, the reason I am interested in the Giro is that I think I can also use it for skiing. (I don't want to buy two helmets). As for the action cam mount, it seems to be the go-pro style, so no love for Sony action cam owners.
Hi nice review! Got my 3r mips today and have the 2r also. But I can't fasten the gopro in the mount. Do I need to switch it out ore something? Love the helmet othervise😃
Stian Jorge Jarnæss thanks! I'm pretty sure the mount you're referring to on the top of the helmet is actually a light mount and not made for a GoPro. I could be entirely wrong but I believe that to be the case so you may need to by a mount from GoPro!
I have the Giro and I can say I do feel like it addes way more protection than a standard trail helmet, I am loving it. My face has taken to many hits.
Wear and tear of cervical spinal disc compression carrying the human head in normal circumstances let alone the pounding they get in aggressive trail riding does warrant the lightest weight possible while providing proper protection. Weight consideration should be a factor in a review. Thx.
When I used the GoPro mount on the giro I got this terrible creaking noise from the visor, pins were perfectly tight... very annoying but love the helmet
Utube_Assassin I got the same thing first time I used it! One thing that ended up helping was putting the GoPro on with the visor still not attached to the helmet. Not sure if that'll work for everyone though
Haha yeah, I was also riding a jump line and i had no idea the pins were loose so I've yet to get a new set of pins. And clipping the helmet isn't easy or near as crisp as the demo models and stuff but I love the helmet, I feel so safe with it on. Have been riding with no goggles for a long time which doesn't look pretty but pairing it with some 100% strata goggles when my broken collarbone is healed.
do you feel the switchblade is to hot for daily trail use as well? currently have a smith forefront and enjoy the helmet but have not took a crash with it yet. ( 3 weeks mountain biking so still slow ). the smith is nice but as the annoying sit on top of head look and I honestly don't feel that confident in it ( no side protection ). the switchblade is sweet but just don't want to be burnt out in this summer heat.
Wyatt Poovey it's certainly a little hotter than other helmets but that being said I still wear it for every day trail riding without the chin bar and don't feel like it's way too much of an issue!
I was considering buying the Giro. Now I know it's hot, I will continue looking. Thanks for saving me from that. The Bell is not an option. I am trying to find a DH certified comfortable lightweight well ventilated helmet. A full face helmet is worthless in many parks if it dont have the DH cert. Otherwise great vid on showing how these work. Thanks for posting, please do not be offended. I mean well.
Channel Zero One you make good points! If you're looking for a versatile light weight helmet think about checking out this video I just put out on the switchblade vs the proframe! Both are DH crash test certified ua-cam.com/video/XbXVwlip_Jg/v-deo.html
I have to admit that you did a very very thorough job in reviewing these helmets and some of the bike vids I watched as well but you really need to work on your presentation skills. You sound like that mono-tone teacher in school that puts everyone to sleep in their classes. Someone else commented on this too about ditching the tablet, look at the camera more, relax and have some personality dude it's like watching that mono-tone teacher write on the black board again. I love the detail you go into but liven it up a bit.
Im thinking of getting a matte black, switchblade, I'm going to be doing all mountain riding, but I want to be able to go hardcore on the downhills, which would you recommend?
Check out my updated enduro full face comparison here! ua-cam.com/video/XbXVwlip_Jg/v-deo.html
what were the goggles send back what it was aka link maybe
This is a great review thanks! Bell Super 3R for me as I would like an enduro helmet and a commuting helmet.
This was a very well done review. Nicely done!
thanks man I appreciate that!
The bell super3 would be the best one for me thanks for a great vid.! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻😎
Great! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, it was very informative.
Very helpfull and nice review
What model is that giro
Are the sizes the same from brand to brand?
Nice reading m8
hey m8 if you are not looking for a not chin bar removable helmet there is the proframe from fox
Yeah thats definitely a good option! I actually really like using the switchblade without the chin bar most of the time so it's really suiting my needs well right now
Winner?
I use the Giro Switchblade and love it but like I said in the video it depends on what youre looking for. I think the switchblade is more suitable in terms of heavy duty protection while the super 3r is more suitable as a trail helmet.
I ride the newer model bell and my mate who has a giro who rides down hill convinced me to get it ovee the giro so no regret
loose the stache, haha
oh its long gone haha
no way, stache is SICK, very phil atwill
haha I appreciate the stache love
This has to be one of the best reviews I have ever seen on UA-cam. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!
What a solid review! Props brotha.
Thanks a bunch man!

Thanx for the video, I'm looking to buy the bell and clearly its very versatile
If I’m not mistaken, I’m pretty sure the Bell is now Downhill approved...
It's a different helmet! They still have the Super 3r which is not, but the newly designed Super DH is. Haven't had a chance to try it but looks pretty great
Thomas the Trail Engine Ah okay then, my bad. Thanks for the correction!
What would you recommend for a 25mph ebike?
Is it ok to get it as a dirtjumper
Just got a BELL 3R MIPS SUPPER EQUIPE . THE SWISH BLADE WAS NOT AS COMFY SO I GOT THE 3R !
super nice Info Video 👍
thx 4 it
Greez from Bavaria, Germany ✌
The switchblade without the chinbar looks like a motocross trials helmet
for me,if you want comfort wearing giro switchblade,need 1 size up
Fits well. It can be readjusted as per the size. It doesn’t have light.
got the giro for my 4k mtb videos for my channel
How do these compare to the Leatt dbx 3.0?
Thanks man you resolved my doubt. I wanna buy a helmet to ride my bike and to snowboarding. If ,in the Bell, you can´t use your goggles without the chin,the Giro will be.
Interesting to find a such a good review, watching here in Utah, but recognizing Chewy as I'm originally from AU! 🤙🏻 Awesome channel!
Thinking of getting the giro for bmx racing, what do you guys think??
legit... exactly what i looked for
what size bell you have bro?
good comparison bro....hit all the important features and gave a clear understanding of them...thx.
thanks for the Video, great angle to compare them, just would add the weight as it is very different from one to an other. thanks
Can I use this helmet for longboard downhill?
Thanks for the review. Had an OTB experience with a regular mtb helmet recently and I'm looking for a little more protection.
when did John Luke Robertson start doing mtn bike accessory reviews??
Excellent, excellent video. Really needed the info you provided here
hi. as far as sizing, which one did you go with for the giro? doe's it feel like it kind of floats above your head? i'm not used to mips so i don't really know how it should feel compared to a regular full-face with the padding that keeps it snug. if i put it on and strap it it, and i shake my head, it doesn't move but it wobbles a bit. is it normal? how's yours?
One Imaginary Boy there’s a little bit of float! In that regard it does feel more like a normal trail helmet than a downhill helmet because there isn’t the thick padding all around the inside
The Giro looks like a ski helmet without the chin bar. But it should provide more stability than the Bell.
Interestingly, the reason I am interested in the Giro is that I think I can also use it for skiing. (I don't want to buy two helmets). As for the action cam mount, it seems to be the go-pro style, so no love for Sony action cam owners.
Thanks very clear muy claro %100
Ok, *but who the hell can afford it?*
Good to know which way to lean on with big decision .
Thank for making this video. It's really helpful!
Hi. Which one you would recommend for cross country ?? I don’t do a lot downhill. I’m just worry if Giro going to be to hot in the warm days.
Tomasz Michewicz probably the bell!
Thomas the Trail Engine Thanks
What a great review and comparsion. Thanks
Hi nice review! Got my 3r mips today and have the 2r also. But I can't fasten the gopro in the mount. Do I need to switch it out ore something? Love the helmet othervise😃
Stian Jorge Jarnæss thanks! I'm pretty sure the mount you're referring to on the top of the helmet is actually a light mount and not made for a GoPro. I could be entirely wrong but I believe that to be the case so you may need to by a mount from GoPro!
Trail Chaser MTB Thanx! Looks like You're right😃 I like under the visor mount enyway. 😂
On a GoPro mount if you take out the metal hexagon thing and the screw they both fit on the top mount of the helmet
That a awesome bike and I have same helmet to
Is the visor removable on these helmets?
Very helpful, thanks!!
Cruising helmets
Nice review man! Bought the super 3r
Any experience with the met parachute?
great video... thanks mate...
Great review
I think you should try and get ur hands on a fox proframe, i love it and ride enduro and downhill. Lighter than my friends 3r also.
Yeah thatd be sick! Ive heard all good things!
Trail Chaser MTB Keep up the vids, its hard to find non biased reviews/ comparisons of stuff nowadays
Bell all the way for this class of helmet.
Great comparison!
👍
This video is extremely warranted. Good job.
thank you!
I have the Giro and I can say I do feel like it addes way more protection than a standard trail helmet, I am loving it. My face has taken to many hits.
Nice work. Very informative. Thanks!
Brannen Anthony thank you!
good job!
Great review man thank you
Has anyone taken a decent fall on one of these helmets though how does the removable chin bar hold up to impacts
i saw someone crash and rip the chinbar off a switchblade and cut their face going down the elevator shaft at mammoth
Conor McEntee ive seen someone fall off the cliff wearing bell they ripped their jaw clean off with chinbar,never found it
troll
forgot weights. which is damn important
Weight isn't important at all safety for and features is way more important than weight
Wear and tear of cervical spinal disc compression carrying the human head in normal circumstances let alone the pounding they get in aggressive trail riding does warrant the lightest weight possible while providing proper protection. Weight consideration should be a factor in a review. Thx.
I watched this video after I bought giro switchblade. It is because bell super 3r can't fit my head well. lol
awesome, its a great helmet!
what about the fox proframe... thats a enduro helmet...
Adam chinbar is not detachable on that one
This wasnt about removable chin bars it was about best enduro helmet.... But the two he was reviewing had the removable chin guards.
Can you do a review and/or on the fox proframe
I would love to get my hands on one at some point!
TuukkaSilventoinen awesome! I've heard great things about it!
Great review and perspective.
Jamie Shebubakar glad you liked it!

Utube_Assassin yeah I feel that! Very true it definitely favors safety over ease of use. Awesome! Hope that's soon
Utube_Assassin the. Don’t use it
A great review, Thomas. Great job!
do you feel the switchblade is to hot for daily trail use as well? currently have a smith forefront and enjoy the helmet but have not took a crash with it yet.

I have the switchblade and my friend has the bell 3. My helmet has better quality than his. More padding more snug than the bell.
I have to admit that you did a very very thorough job in reviewing these helmets and some of the bike vids I watched as well but you really need to work on your presentation skills. You sound like that mono-tone teacher in school that puts everyone to sleep in their classes.

that 3r is FUGLY!
looks dope what are you on about?
Uhhhhh wtf, it looks so much cooler
armada hell no, what are you talking about
Im thinking of getting a matte black, switchblade, I'm going to be doing all mountain riding, but I want to be able to go hardcore on the downhills, which would you recommend?
Aaron Millikin did you not watch the entire thing? He stated in the end what he recommended for what.
