Hey fellow riders!

So, I’ve recently gotten my hands (or rather, my head) on the Bontrager Rally WaveCel helmet, and I thought it’d be cool to share my take on it. This isn’t going to be one of those technical breakdown reviews – more of a “here’s what I think while dodging branches and bombing down trails” kind of thing.

First off, let’s talk about the fit. I dunno about you, but I’ve got what I like to call a “free spirit” head shape. Helmets usually either feel like a loose bucket or a medieval torture device. But the Rally WaveCel adjusted nicely, and it actually felt good. It’s snug but comfy, kinda like a bear hug for your noggin.

Now, the real star here is the WaveCel tech. I mean, anything that promises a greater chance of protecting my one and only brain is pretty cool in my book. For those of you who love the techy stuff, WaveCel is supposed to crumple like a concertina on impact to absorb energy more effectively. I haven’t had any major crashes yet (knock on wood!), but it definitely gives me a little extra peace of mind on the trails.

Speaking of trails, I’ve tested this baby on everything from smooth singletrack to rocky, rooty trails, and I’ve got to mention the airflow. Holy moly, it’s like riding with a personal AC unit – no more feeling like my head’s about to overheat. Plus, the sleek design makes me feel just a tad faster… or at least look the part (fake it till you make it, right?).

I also gave it a whirl during some light rain – because we all know the weather gods have impeccable timing when it comes to bike plans. The adjustable visor did a sweet job of keeping rain out of my eyes. I mean, if only it worked like wipers on a car, then it’d be perfect!

All in all, I’m pretty stoked with the Bontrager Rally WaveCel. But hey, this is just my two-cents. What do you think? Anyone else tried it? Or maybe you’ve had adventures with other helmets? Drop your thoughts below because I’d love to hear what you all think!

Hey!

I totally feel you on the “free spirit” head shape! 😂 Helmets are like hats—they never seem to fit quite right. But it’s awesome to hear the Rally WaveCel is a comfy fit. Nothing like a noggin’ hug while you’re navigating those gnarly trails! 🐻💚

Here are a few things I consider when helmet shopping:

• Dial Adjusters: Some helmets come with dial systems to fine-tune the fit. It’s like getting the Goldilocks feel—not too tight, not too loose, but juuuuust right! 😌
• Style Points: Let’s be real, looking cool is half the battle. If the helmet makes you feel like a pro racer even when you’re just trying to survive that last climb, it’s a win in my book. 😎
• Color Choices: Did you know bright colors can help with visibility? Plus, matching your helmet to your bike = bonus style points! 🚴‍♂️✨
• Chinstrap Comfort: No one likes a chinstrap that feels like it’s wrestling your neck. Comfort here is key!

Also, props to that visor! Not all heroes wear capes—some just keep the rain out of your eyes. If only it came with automatic wipes, though, right? 🤖

Cheers to keeping the brain box safe while embracing the adventures. Looking forward to hearing more about everyone’s helmet escapades!

Stay awesome and rubber side down,

Hey there!

You had me at “bear hug for your noggin”! 😂 It’s like wearing a helmet that’s not only looking out for your safety but also cheering you on with every pedal. The Bontrager Rally WaveCel sounds like a dream helmet for those of us with more *unique* head shapes! 💪🧢

Here are a few other things I like to think about when checking out new helmets:

• Weight: I mean, who wants to feel like they’re balancing a brick on their head? Lightweight helmets can make a big difference, especially on those long rides. 🚴‍♀️
• Padding Material: It might sound like a small thing, but padding that wicks sweat away can keep things a lot more pleasant on a hot day. After all, no one wants to feel like they’re riding in a personal sauna! ☀️💦
• Compatibility: If you’re into action cams or night riding, it’s worth checking if the helmet has mounts or clips for cameras and lights. Catch those epic fails in hi-def or see those magical night trails. 🎥🌜
• Replaceability: Some companies offer crash replacement policies—because we all know gravity has a way of sneaking up on us sometimes! 🤕

Glad to hear the adjustable visor held up its end of the bargain; if only it could work on bugs, too! But hey, until we get built-in windshield wipers, flicking them away will have to do. 😂

Looking forward to hearing more epic (and not-so-epic) helmet stories from everyone else. Until then, let’s keep that rubber on the road!

Keep shredding,

Hey trail blazers! 🚴‍♂️

Ah, helmets—our stylish saviors and protection pals. It’s awesome that the Bontrager Rally WaveCel is living up to the hype with its brain-hugging fit and cool tech. Seriously, it sounds like a helmet that’s got your back (and, well, your noggin). 😄

Just throwing in some extra thoughts when picking out helmets:

• Ventilation: We all know that feeling when your head becomes a sweaty sauna. More vents = more breeze. It’s like having your own personal wind machine! 🍃
• Bug Netting: Because, let’s face it, no one wants to invite little critters to party on your head while you’re riding. 🐜🎉
• Strap Configuration: If you’ve ever had straps that constantly need adjusting, you know the struggle is real. The less fiddling while riding, the better. 🎶
• Extra Padding: Extra padding doesn’t just mean added comfort; some of them are even removable and washable. It’s a win for those long sweaty sessions! 🧼🧽

And kudos to that visor for keeping the rain at bay. Now if only someone would invent visor wipers, our lives would be complete… or at least less soggy. 🤔💭

Helmet adventures are always welcome here—hit us with your stories, peeps! Until then, ride wild and free! 🚲

Keep it wheel-y awesome,
