For Sale: 1 s/m Bell Vortex, and 1 m/l Bell Vortex. These are the super light and super rare tt helmet from the 90’s. Includes visor- may have some spare visors. Pretty good condition. M/L has US National team decals still on it. $300 includes shipping in the lower 48 states.
those things are really worth $300? I have one sitting in the garage. Who knew?
They’re not. That’s a ridiculous price. The value on those things topped out at about $200 a couple of years ago, when there were no aero helmets in current production.
- of course, the “market price” is whatever somebody will pay for something, and there’s a sucker born every minute…

I like you, you’re funny.
I don’t know guys, this Vortex is selling for 659.00.
You may be right about the decrease in demand. The Bell Vortex and Troxel Radius were the only USCF legal aero helmets during the pre-Garneau period. But the supply is also very low and not increasing. The medium/large size has always been very hard to find and it is the size that fits the most heads. Track and time trial riders still love 'em.
I sold my troxel titanium helmet in near perfect condition with visor and bag (last spring) for $70ish on a 10 day auction with no reserve.
And…
Here is a description for a bell/reebok pump aero helmet (vortex I think) that sold for 16.50 plus 10 in shipping on ebay on 6/10.
Rare Bell Time Trial Helmet - Reebok Pump
Good for Collectors.
Bell Reebok pump time trial helmet, size S/M (fits small).
This is an older model but still used by those who can find them!
Meets all ANSI requirements so its legal: UCI/USCF approved.
For those who care this helmet was ridden to the silver medal at the 1994 World Championships (women)and 12th place in the 2000 Worlds TT and 16th in the 2001 Worlds TT. It has seen its share of elite racing. Now it needs a new home.
