First Look: Bell Limited-Edition Star Wars Helmets
It happens to all of us: You’re weaving your bike through a tree-specked trail, when your mind starts to wander. All of a sudden, you’re Boba Fett in an asteroid belt, juking and shucking hot on the trail of the Millennium Falcon. Because normal protective bike gear isn’t enough to take on interplanetary outlaws (or, presumably, congested city streets and rocky trails) Bell has come up with a line of Star Wars-themed bike helmets that will keep you safe while on patrol, and do it in style.
The limited-edition Super 2R Boba Fett-inspired helmet ($240) has all the features of the standard model, including a removable chin guard, camera mount, and the ability to integrate with an Icedot crash sensor. In addition to the cool colorway fit for a bounty hunter, this Super 2R comes newly equipped with MIPS protection.
Sith lords looking to shred skate-style should opt for the Darth Vader version of Bell’s Segment helmet ($50). Subtly shiny black graphics recalling the nasty one’s headgear, as well as Vader’s monogram, overlay a matte-black base, while the helmet’s insides are reinforced with plentiful foam to keep uncomfortable skull-jostling at bay.

Want to get your grom in on the act? Bell offers a few Star Wars-themed lids for kids, too. The Segment Jr. ($50) comes decorated as a miniature Boba Fett dome, emblazoned with a Mandalorian skull symbol and the words “bounty hunter,” or—if your little one is not ready to turn to the Dark Side—a Millennium Falcon panorama that looks lifted from a '70s van.
