For the road / CPSC / current-only assessment at 56 cm, Bell Trace Mips documents S/M 50–57 cm and M/L 53–60 cm, so both rows cover that chart value. This is an evidence-screen scenario, not a size selection or personal fit verdict.

Assessment scenario: Trace Mips road / CPSC assessment at 56 cm
Assessment scenario: a road-category comparison at 56 cm that requires documented US CPSC compliance and keeps the search to current-reference models. Bell Trace Mips has overlapping S/M and M/L chart rows at this measurement; try the exact helmet on rather than using the chart to pick a size.
Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- Bell's exact US style-156 page identifies the observed Matte Red/Black / S/M SKU BL-7139275 and is listed in its US Road and Gravel catalogue.
- Bell's page states US CPSC compliance for persons age five and older, and names Mips Evolve, Ergo Fit, No-Twist Tri-Glides and Sweat Guide.
- At 56 cm, both selectable chart rows—S/M 50–57 and M/L 53–60—include the measurement. The overlap is a reason to try both sizes, not a recommendation.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- The exact page labels the rotational design Mips Evolve, not Spherical Technology powered by Mips; it does not meet that narrower finder requirement.
- Bell's 325 g manufacturer figure applies to M/L, not the observed S/M SKU, and no independent weight or fit measurement is available.
- The embedded chart shows Universal XL 58–63 cm, but XL is not selectable for the observed Matte Red/Black configuration and is not included in matching. No urban, trail or child-specific plan is established.
- Page-level CPSC wording is not a physical-label check of a seller unit. The saved recall screen is limited and does not clear an individual helmet or offer.
Check these before ordering
- Confirm the offer is Bell Trace Mips, US style 100000000200000156, and verify the exact color, size and SKU; the observed Matte Red/Black / S/M SKU is BL-7139275.
- Check the physical label and exact package rather than assuming an online product-page statement describes the seller's unit; verify current safety notices and used-helmet history.
- Use Bell's current fitting instructions and try the exact helmet on, especially because S/M and M/L chart rows overlap from 53–57 cm; confirm return terms before purchasing.
- Do not assume the chart's Universal XL row is available in Matte Red/Black or that the 325 g M/L figure describes the observed S/M configuration.
