As its name implies, the Bell Citi is designed for the world of urban cycling. It may be a little bulkier and heavier than your average race helmet, but it’s comfortable, we found it easy to adjust and it’s packed with features.

The ‘glow in the dark’ version we tested (it’s also available in gloss black, matt pewter and safety yellow) really stood out on the road.

Night-time visibility is further enhanced by reflective strips, reflective stitching on the straps and the ability to fix a light to the back of the helmet shell. A rear-view mirror is sold separately for £7.99, which fixes onto the detachable peak.

Manufacturers description

Reserved styling and adaptable features make the Citi the perfect townie helmet, whether you're on the way to work or off to the coffee shop. From the ErgoDial fit system for easy sizing adjustments to the durability of Fusion In-Mold construction, the Citi delivers like a bike messenger in traffic. Includes Blade visor, easy-adjust Cam-lock levers, air-moving Channeled Ventilation and the option of adding a Flip Mirror and rear flasher lights for better visibility.
