Bell’s latest Moto-10 helmet ($849.95) features new Spherical technology that was developed at the Bell+Giro Dome laboratory in partnership with MIPS.
Spherical technology is described by Bell as a ball-and-socket design, meaning that an outer liner rotates around an inner liner inside the shell during a crash, redirecting rotational motion away from the brain. To launch this new technology, Bell is releasing a limited-edition run of 1000 Moto-10 helmets in the pictured graphics.

Here is more information about the Moto-10 Spherical from Bell:
Spherical Technology
Spherical Technology, powered by MIPS®, helps redirect impact forces, bringing market-leading design, performance and brain protection together without compromising comfort, ventilation, weight or style.
Ball-and-Socket Design
Spherical Technology’s ball-and-socket design helps redirect impact forces away from the brain by allowing the outer liner to rotate around the inner liner during a crash.
MIPS®-Equipped
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts.
Segmented 3K Shell Technology
Special shell design that provides a large exhaust vent that expells hot air out of the helmet, ensuring the rider stays comfortable and cool.
No Missed Races Bumpers
Using a softer EPP material, two bumpers on either side of the helmet compress under load but bounce back to its original form, reducing the likelihood of further injury caused from the helmet contacting your body.
Panoramic Goggle Port Technology
A wider port provides better fitment, optimal sealing, and a massive field of view, increasing the rider’s visibility and safety when needed most.
Magnefusion Cheek Pad Emergency Release System
Allows for easy removal of the pads for washing and enables emergency responders to easily remove the cheekpads first before removing the helmet following an impact.
Sweat Management
With the combination of the T.E.A. System, Spherical venting channels, and Segmented shell, we created the ability to force perspiration across the rider’s brow—away from their goggles—preserving vision late in a race.
Virus CoolJade™ Comfort Liner
This removable, washable liner is made of recycled jade fabric to create a natural cooling effect. The ultra-wicking construction combined with CoolJade-infused yarn decreases your skin surface temperature up to 10˚ F, keeping you cool, comfortable, and focused on the race at hand.
Flying Bridge Visor
This visor design allows more flexibility and improves airflow across the helmet. By not using a traditional center post and screw concept, we’re able to increase the amount of energy-management material in a high-impact zone.
