Strengths: It is a Bell helmetWeaknesses: Made in China, poor quality control, moulding defects, dangerous to wear!Bottom Line: My helmet had a moulding defect that caused a knob 5mm think and 1.5 cm in dia in the crown of the helmet. It would have been fatal in an accident.

Strengths: perfect fit, good ventilation, estetically looking good when put on. does the job more than anything.
Weaknesses: None in my opinionBottom Line: i crashed in a bit more than 26 mph indoor. i touched the wheel infront of me, lost control and dived over the handlebar, landed on my head and volted over. the helmed cracked up in 17 places but i did not receive any serious physical damage. the x-rays proved my head and neck to be intact. if it would not have been for the helmet, i would definitely not be around today. i have to say that BELL Alchera saved my life and i will be loyal to this brand for as long as i can pedal.
Favorite Ride: anywhere

Strengths: light, snug, Bell reliability, not crazy bulkyWeaknesses: doesn't have the nicer straps / buckle system that some of the boutique models like KASK have.Bottom Line: helmets are just as unique as saddles (I think). Tried on like 30 different ones from $35 to $200 and the Alcherra was the most comfortable. The fact that it was on sale for $40 was just the icing on the cake.
Favorite Ride: no rain
Price Paid:
$40.00
Purchased At: performance
Similar Products Used: Bell Slant, Bell Variant
Bike Setup: 4130 frame, Sram Apex (the 'Toyota Camry' of bikes..)

Strengths: Price to feature ratio
Fits me wellWeaknesses: Pads are thin and begin to fall apart after being carefully washed a couple of timesBottom Line: Very good helmet for the price.
Bell helmets seem to fit me better than some others so I stuck with Bell after losing my Bell Ghisallo in an accident (which did save my head...thanks).
It does the job and is cheaper and not as bulbous on me as the Ghisallo
I find the pads to be a bit thin and cheap feeling. I contacted Bell for a new set and they sent 2 sets for free
Price Paid:
$39.00
Purchased At: Performance
Similar Products Used: Bell Ghisallo
Other Bell helmets over the years
Bailen-if you are old enough to remember it.
