Buying MTB Bells – Audible and Safe on the Trails

A good MTB bell is not a luxury. Whether you're riding on busy trails or cycling on a quiet forest path, a bell helps you stay safe and audible. At Hollandbikeshop, you will find a wide range of bells specifically designed for mountain bikes. You benefit from fast delivery and a large assortment of top-quality bicycle parts.
 

What are MTB Bells?

MTB bells are specially designed for use on mountain bikes. The bell is usually more compact than a standard bicycle bell. It is tuned for rugged conditions and sturdy handlebars. The main function is safety. You let other cyclists, walkers, or animals know that you are coming. This is not only handy but often required on public paths.
The sound of an MTB bell is powerful and penetrating. This way, you are well audible, even in windy or busy environments. Many models are made to withstand vibrations and stay firmly in place, even during intensive use.
 

Different Types of MTB Bells

There are various types of MTB bells that differ in design, material, and mounting:
•    Classic Bell: Simple metal or plastic bell with a thumb lever.
•    Minimalist Bell: Discreet and sleek, often with a rubber band. Ideal for minimalist handlebars.
•    Integrated Bell: Built into the handlebar or almost invisibly mounted.
•    Electronic Bell: with a loud and digital sound, rechargeable via USB.

Most models are suitable for handlebars with a diameter of 22.2 to 31.8 mm. Make sure the bell is compatible with your handlebar. Many MTB bells are specially designed to take up little space, leaving room for your brakes, gears, or dropper post.
Metal bells often last longer than plastic models. Aluminum is lightweight and rust-resistant. Plastic is cheaper but less durable. Do you want a bell that is barely visible but sounds powerful? Then a minimalist aluminum bell is a good choice.
 

What to Consider When Buying MTB Bells?

When choosing an MTB bell, pay attention to the following points:
•    Handlebar Diameter: Measure your handlebar before ordering.
•    Mounting Method: With rubber, screw clamp, or strap.
•    Sound: Clear, loud, and suitable for outdoor use.
•    Material: Aluminum for durability, plastic for lightweight.
•    Size: Compact for space on the handlebar.
•    Weather Resistance: Resistant to rain, dust, and mud.

Maintenance is simple. Keep the bell clean and regularly check if it is still securely attached. Avoid mud buildup around the mounting. A little silicone spray on the mechanism prevents jamming.
