I got the 3r ! Don't like the other to box shaped ! I have the 3r for 4yrs now just bought another ! A car rammed me and this 3r stood up to it ! % 100 Agree ! 30yrs riding !
I love my Super 3R but just noticed the plastic tab broke where the rear latch grabs the removable chin bar. Been looking at the Super DH as an upgrade. Thanks for helping me avoid the Super Air👊🏻
Damn that sucks, I thought the rear latch was all metal. But again, I dont really take it off often. I've heard great things about the DH though, a friend of mine just bought one!
Had a pretty serious accident in my 3R on my eskate a few months back, it saved me from at the very least a few days of rhe hospital and possibly much worse. Now that im in the market for a new helmet again its looking like ill be gatting another 3R.
The play in the helmets could be due to face shape, although it's crazy how drastic the difference is between the two. My Z1R modular helmet is a XL and fits my head snug, but I had to get M cheek pads to get it to fit properly.
@@DirtTrampMTB for anyone interested, thats the reason. by now bell provides thicker cheekpads as standard that give the helmet a way better, snug but not too warm feeling. was thinking the same about looseness when i first tried a fit.
Hi bro! I've heard that the 3R has a slightly shorter measure or fit so an L would be equivalent to a M in the Super Air. I am normally L but I tried the Super Air on M and fits me right and snug instead of the L size which would require to tighten the strap as well as the knob, anyways, good review. Greetings
I did not. Didnt ever use the Air on the trail, ended up selling it. As fas as chin mounting it really depends on the go pro. It was great on my Hero 7 but chest mounting is the way to go on the 8. The increased stabilization on the 8 made the footage very stale and boring while chin mounted. Plus the chest mount gives you a better view of the bike and handlebars . It was just too shaky chest mounting the 7
I have also 'upgraded' from Super 3R to Super Air and sadly found out that dial of float fit is difficult to reach as it is positioned too close to the helmet shell. On 3R there is option to adjust position of float fit system so there is plenty of clearance, unfortunatelly there seems to be no ajdustment on Air (or I cannot find it??). Otherwise nicely build halmet. Mine fits snug and comfy, yours looks to be too big for you head.
@@enriquebautista5402 Remove the small padding in the centre of the shell (padding for top of the head) and then you'll see where float fit is adjusted, you must pull it out and put it in another hole ...
2:00 probably more dangerous if anything. The fact that mips moves so easily means it cannot bleed off energy. bumping into the wall in your home probably already renders it useless. How this became popular is baffling to me
its not about bleeding off energy thats the job of the main material, it will still protect your head especially due to the longer backside. the point is to avoid sudden head accelerations that damage your brain due to it hitting the sides of your skull.
Finally normal review with pros and cons. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!

One of the best reviews of this helmet brand/type yet. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
To the point and excellent review. Just got a 3 R and super happy with it. Use the go pro mount for a light and the angle is perfect
thank you for the real life crash test, every helmet review should include that! 🤪
excellent review, I am sure gonna get a 3r now after watching this. thanks for sharing the experience of 3r and R helmets.
Thank you for such a great review will be getting the 3R now.
Thank you for this, straight forward and lets me know which is more price efficient

thanks this video made me take an accurate decision I'm happy with the Super 3R I just purchased
Awesome thanks for watching!
Really helpful review, thanks

What's your head circumference and what size you end up choosing?
The play in the helmets could be due to face shape, although it's crazy how drastic the difference is between the two. My Z1R modular helmet is a XL and fits my head snug, but I had to get M cheek pads to get it to fit properly.
Good point, bigger cheekpads on the Super Air would probably help!

3R FTW. we both took otw crashes with this helmet and mine didn't take a scratch let alone did i even feel it. So comfortable too.
Yeah mine didn't seem to take any damage. I definitely felt it though lol!
Nice review, very helpful.
Thank You!
Great review, thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Witch one u will buy again?? Tomorrow ill buy one but i need try both. Witch one feels more robust??
Hi bro! I've heard that the 3R has a slightly shorter measure or fit so an L would be equivalent to a M in the Super Air. I am normally L but I tried the Super Air on M and fits me right and snug instead of the L size which would require to tighten the strap as well as the knob, anyways, good review. Greetings
Yeah I would have liked to try a M air to see if the fit was better. But regardless it makes no sense that they would do that lol
Excellent review! By chance did you try chin mounting the gopro on the Air? Thanks
I did not. Didnt ever use the Air on the trail, ended up selling it. As fas as chin mounting it really depends on the go pro. It was great on my Hero 7 but chest mounting is the way to go on the 8.

Great review, I'm wanting a Super 3R this year. Is that Finn's sword from Adventure Time?
Thanks buddy, my mind is made up 😁
I have the bell super 3r and its amazing
what gopro mount are you using on the R?
nvm you specified later in the video, thanks
Frequent flyers video review was terrible yours was great
great vid
Thank you!

Plot twist: I have just found setting to adjust position of float fit system on Super Air and now its perfect, no more finger pinching!
@@aint4ever I'm having the same problem, could you tell me how you did it?

@@aint4ever got it! Thank you!
Thanks for the comparison. Some of the other videos on this helm are garbage.
thanks for watching!
Hi I recently broke my bell sueper 3r and I was wandering how your got yours warrantied?
Just email them they responded within a couple days. It took a while to actually get the new one but it was nice to see they did warranty it
Sound like you try medium size 3r and large super air. Therefore the difference in weight is little and the super air you feel loose
They are both the size Large. The fit was fine it was just the helmet moving away from the part that is on your head.
Sounds like you should try a size medium - Super Air
It felt like it fit fine. And I know my 3R does. Doesn't make sense that I would need a different size in the same brand
Is the super3R’s visor removable? I couldn’t find any information about this online. Thanks in advance!
I actually haven't tried to remove it but I will check next time I ride and get back to you!
@@DirtTrampMTB how about it now? Did you manage to check if the visor can be removed?
2:00 probably more dangerous if anything. The fact that mips moves so easily means it cannot bleed off energy. bumping into the wall in your home probably already renders it useless. How this became popular is baffling to me

@@jakecole7447 huh? still bleeding off energy, just of the rotational impact... smartass
3r looks better. Air looks too...video game like...for me.
