preferably on your bonce, but some real life pics of them would be nice too, think im going to get a new helmet for summer, this looks just the trick and not to mushroom like in stock photos
and also is it possible to mount a helmet light and remove the go pro mount? i need to mount a helmet light (exposure diablo type mount or similar) next winter, so no point having a super if i cant do so
Sorry no pic's but I can answer you questions, the go pro mount is just attached by velco, so easily detachable, I mount my trout mini on mine with no issues. Can't see an reason the exposure mount wouldn't fit.
Really like mine, fits my head a treat, though I'd recommend dumping the plastic visor screws, as they snap easily

I went with black/white stripe. Very breathable. Looks nice, feels nice. I was unfortunate enough to be on the cusp of the M/L size. Went for a L, M was too tight, I'm a 58 I think.
Thanks for info guys appreciated, nice to know a light attachment is possible
Not sure which colour really like that green but always have black helmets, the blue one looks quite nice too
I've got one and am pretty pleased with it.
The for me the fit is really good, only bettered by the TLD which is more expensive and ugly. I also didn't like any of the TLD colour schemes. The IXS Trail RS was really comfy too but the Bell feels like a more substantial helmet but I don't think its that well vented (it feels about the same as the Urge Enduromatic it replaced). My other gripe is that the pads are small and thin so don't hold much sweat so it runs down your face but I may just have got used to the massive Urge pad that held loads of sweat.
might be worth checking out the bluegrass goldeneye too - I found it slightly better vented than the super (and waaaay better than the A1), IMO it looks better and its cheaper too.
just measured the bonce - its about 57cm from forehead above eyes to back of head
guessing that means a medium although i have a relatively small head, it suggests small is 52-56cm
Worth trying on, I found it bloody uncomfortable. Also found with the low side bits by the temples it got in the way of 3 different pairs of glasses (that seems to be a fairly common complaint).
As an aside, it made me look like a Vespa riding mod. Not a good look in my case!
haha cheers hobnob im quite partial to vespas and mod 😉
hmmm what glasses? please dont say oakley jawbone/racing jackets?
If that look suits you, then happy days!
It was with Jawbones, both real & Fakely's. The helmet pushed the arms down so it felt like they were crushing the bridge of my nose. Clearly I wasn't being enduro enough and just going with goggles full time...
A quick Google sounds like I wasn't alone with the issue.
I think my head is about 58com or so. Mine is a medium and fits well. I've heard the complaints about them not working well with glasses...luckily I don't ride with them. I'm not Enduro enough either to where googles....all my mates would rip it too.
I'm quite lucky in that my head is quite average so seems to get on with most helmets aside from Specialized. I bought mine without trying so got lucky really.
Slight hijack but I have a big (62cm) head and although it's a long way from front to back, side to side is quite narrow - very oval shaped.
I always have a problem with gaps above and around my ears and baggy straps but I'd like a Super depending on the shape
What sort of head shape are they?
bawls , that may scupper this helmet then, i always wear oakleys in summer so they will have to fit and crushing nose etc aintttt guuurrrrdddd
will try and see how one fits first then, i thought the glasses maybe an issues as it looks like it sits really low over the ears
Can not fault it - except when I comes to mounting night light..

I'd still suggest trying one, I wear glasses full time and my (cheap & cheerful) sunglasses fits under mine without issue. Though admittedly I've seen this complaint before and don't really understand it, so maybe I'm the odd one out.
As you can see in the picture at the top, I wear Oakleys(Jokeleys) with mine and I find them fine.
Don't seem to cause any more discomfort than any pair of glasses do...
oh yeah had not noticed your oakleys 😆
jaffejoffer - why an issue with helmet mounting? what light etc?
none of the vents are square with each other making it tricky with the rubber o-rings you get with them cheap Chinese lights. a proper light with velcro might be alright.
id also prefer the goggle guides to be compatible with the visor rather than one or the other.
i wear Oakleys wi mine too, nay bother.
