Bell Powersports Announces Offical Entry Into Recreational UTV Industry With Forced Air Helmet Line
- Bell Helmets, an
industry leader in innovative head protection, today officially
signaled its entry into the rapidly growing recreational UTV space
with the launch of two new helmets, the
Qualifier DLX Forced Air and Qualifier Forced Air. Over the
span of its storied 65 years, Bell pioneered the first full-face
auto racing and motorcycle helmet, as well as the first motocross
helmet and has made indelible impressions upon various motorsports
disciplines. Drawing on its industry experience these are Bell's
first helmets designed, developed and tested specifically for
recreational UTV enthusiasts.
Bell Helmets has long been popular among off-road participants due
to its leadership and advancements in the head protection category.
With so many of the top off-road racers already using Bell helmets,
Bell wanted to create UTV helmet offerings that everyday drivers
and passengers could use as well. To provide these consumers with
products designed specifically for their needs, Bell used its
experience from racing and sought feedback from its ambassadors and
the professionals already using the helmets on what they were
looking for in a recreational UTV helmet.
"With the growing popularity of UTV's, we wanted to satisfy a need
by providing these enthusiasts with the types of proven helmets
that Bell has been synonymous with for nearly 65 years," said Chris
Sackett, Bell Helmets vice president. "Using our industry
expertise, and feedback from our ambassadors, we've developed
something we are incredibly proud of and that we know consumers are
going to love. We are excited about the future, as we continue to
develop new products and incorporate our top-of-the-line safety
technologies into helmets for this category."
The new Qualifier DLX Forced Air comes standard with a
Transitions® shield, that offers clarity in low-light
conditions and quickly darken in brighter conditions, ensuring that
riders will be able to adjust to randomly changing lighting
conditions throughout the day. While not included, the Qualifier
Forced Air is also compatible with the Transitions®
shield. Both helmets feature a premium dust skirt, designed
to keep debris out of the helmets. The dust skirt is paired with a
forced air kit that allows riders to breathe in cool, clean air by
using positive pressure to prevent dusty air from entering the
helmet. The forced air also creates a cooling sensation by blowing
air straight down on the rider's head, making it ideal for any
conditions.
The Qualifier DLX Forced Air also features a communications port
and speaker pockets where riders will be able to connect their
Bluetooth devices. Bell is also partnering with Rugged Radio and
has released a "Rugged Ready" version of the helmet prewired with
Rugged's intercom system.
