I can't understand how a huge helmet company like Bell can have such a shitty presence in Europe.
I ordered the Tagger designs Flex helmet from a Finnish dealer and they were supposed to arrive 15.3 but got delayed to 31.3 and now i got a email from my dealer that they will arrive in late May.
The dealer said to me that the importer of Bell to Europe said this to them when they were wondering about when the Flex helmets would arrive to Finland "Hi its a shit show from BELL they are so late end of May will it be here. Im so sorry for this"
And this is not the first time that Bell are struggling in Europe. It took ages for them to start selling the original Moto 9 when it got released.
The dealer offered to me that i could cancel the order but i don't know if i should do that. I really like how the Moto 9 feels on my head. I could change the Flex order to an 6D helmet but i have never tried one so i'm a bit unsure of the quality and fitment of those helmets.

I think you should do the same.
Now days it isn't that hard to send a helmet to the other side of the world.
It was allways like this.
If you need it order from areseller like BTO, RockyMountain, or others.
Will work
The Shop
the trade mark Bell is held by an italian company and thats mainly the issue.
I am from Germany and using Bell since more than 20years, if i needed something i ordered it from a US reseller.
Works fine shipping is usually within 2 weeks.
And wtih Snell and DOD beeing accepted in Europe you are ok.
Have you tried ordering straight from Bell's website?

Anyway, I've decided I will buy a 6D. Not just because of the unavailability of the Bell, but after doing some research, I'm convinced the ODS system is safer than liner-layering.
