The Bell RS-1 bridges the gap between the top-of-the-line Bell Star and the value-minded Vortex with an amazing blend of mid-line price and performance. Starting with a lightweight Kevlar / fiberglass composite shell, the RS-1 brings it with Bell's vaunted Velocity Flow Ventilation system providing cool comfort, a super stable aerodynamic profile keeping the helmet still at speed, and the versatile ClickRelease shield system for fast, easy shield swaps, not to mention an amazing variety of tint and coating choices. Contour Cut Cheekpads and a plush, removable, washable liner cradle the head in comfort while Bell's exclusive Magnefusion magnetic strap keeper makes flapping strap ends a thing of the past. All said, it's one great helmet at a modest price.
- ClickRelease was designed for the quickest, easiest shield swaps ever. To remove, simply fully open the shield and depress the ClickRelease triggers. For installation, just align shield pivots in the fully open position and push until they click into place. Done.
- Contour cut cheekpads for superior fit and comfort. By curve cutting the cheekpads instead of bending a linear pad, the helmet has a more natural, comfortable feel on the face and cheeks.
- By opening or closing the FlowAdjust vents, the rider can dial in the desired amount of airflow to match conditions.
- Kevlar / fiberglass composite shell.
- Padded chin strap with D-ring closure and Magnefusion magnetic strap keeper.

- Super stable aerodynamic signature resists buffeting and lift.
- Bell's exclusive Velocity Flow Ventilation system with FlowAdjust: For maximum ventilation and temperature control. Using advanced flow dynamics modeling, wind tunnel testing and rider trials, Bell engineers created a natural airflow engine that literally pulls air through the internal venting system, keeping the rider cool and dry. By opening or closing the FlowAdjust vents, the rider can dial in the desired amount of airflow to match conditions.
- Bell's 3Mode Shield: Allows for one-finger toggling between Lock Mode, Friction Mode and Crack Mode. Lock Mode is the shield's firmest and quietest setting. It not only locks down the shield, but pulls it tightly to the gasket, creating a water-tight seal. The Friction Mode allows the shield to be freely adjusted from fully closed to fully open and anywhere in between. Crack Mode disengages the shield from the gasket and lifts it about ¼" to help prevent fogging, a particularly useful setting at stop lights. A quick touch of the 3Mode Lever brings the shield back into Lock Mode.
