    These are a welcome addition to our MTB kit when biking where we live, in bear country! We came upon a Mom and two cubs this summer on the trails and after we could safely continue it was nice piece of mind having the bell on so we wouldn’t surprise her again. Easy to use while traveling at speed and loud enough to deter wildlife and problematic dog walkers, mostly…

    Louder than expected, makes slight noise even when locked off. Excellent for alerting people when you’re down hill mountain biking. RECOMMEND!!

    This is a great bell, i can hear mountain bikes coming from a distance, while i ride my euc (electric unicycle) on bike paths and various different mountain bike trails.

    I hope Timber can make a bell especially for euc which would need to be much more sensitive to movement. the suspension on the lynx euc is so smooth, that even on bumpy offroad trails, most of the time the bell is not making any sound. i have tried every recommendation by timber, including adjusting the bell to different settings, as well as changing the angle of the bell, as it is mounted onto the euc handle grip area.

    i feel frustrated, even though i know this is a very good product for mountain bikes and any bicycles.

    i give this bell a best rating because it is good quality, and works great on bicycles.

    dest timber, please make a bell for electric unicycles. we need this!

    I hate most bike bells and the way people use them. This one is nice pleasant and friendly; kind of like an ice cream truck. It’s easy to turn on when you need it and off when you don’t. It has a good ring that allows hikers to hear you coming a ways away. The bell is a bit heavy but its mass is what helps it produce a good ring. The bell’s well made and seems durable after a hard summer of use.

    I’d stick with the bolt on version as this bell is kind of pricey and wouldn’t want to lose it. Bolting it on also makes sure it’s in the right place so you can easily turn it off or on with your thumb. Installation is trivial and requires a single 3mm hex wrench.

    Some reviews said that they wished they could intentionally ring the bell. It’s easy to ring the bell if you just jiggle your handlebar on the side the bell is on. It works great.

    I love this bell!! It has three settings so I can just move it to whatever setting is right for you. (No bell, a little, and a lot). What I really like is that I don’t have to worry about ringing the bell when I’m going around a corner on my mountain bike. It is always on! (or off!) Just pay attention to how to install it on your bike.

    Damit hört man einen von weitem. Funktion ist top. Der Preis ist allerdings krass für etwas Metall und Plastik. Kostet in anderen Shops annähernd genauso viel. Ist wohl vom Hersteller vorgegeben. Hier kann man Amazon nichts vorwerfen. Die drei Sterne sind durch den Preis bedingt.

    Easy to use bell with 3 setting switch. Easy to put on and stays on without moving around. Bell is too loud at times and gets a bit annoying. But does its job of alerting people on trails.

    Montato su una mountain bike, ideale per avvisare del proprio arrivo sia cinghiali che cacciatori: in modalità apertura emette automaticamente uno scampanellio in base alle vibrazioni del manubrio causate dal terreno, senza che si debba lasciare la presa del manubrio

    Extremely handy when riding over bumpy terrain/off road. Lets others know where you are without being overwhelming. Pleasant sound. Volume can be muffled or turned off completely for quiet areas. Highly recommend for cycling near horseback riders as they will hear you coming and the horses are less likely to panic. Sometimes even the most relaxed horse can get spooked and this bell easily makes passing safer for everyone. Most people seem to appreciate the length of time they have to react, and I don’t have to continually ring the bell like a mad person to get their attention (unless they are wearing headphones, in which case nothing works and everyone can end up frustrated! Also, ugh! dogs on retractable leashes and unpredictable children, squirrels with death wishes, etc—no bell can magically make everything safe!)

    Also, my riding partner usually goes ahead of me and, when we aren’t talking, he likes knowing for sure I haven’t dropped back too far.

    Takes up very little room in my cockpit. I like the bell so much that I wish it worked on smooth paths, too. As it is, I find myself switching bells when I know I will be on pavement. Yes, you can generally shake your handlebars to make it ring, but that is awkward. Maybe they will come up with a version that has a manual ring option. Until then, this bell does what it’s supposed to do exceptionally well. Solid purchase!

    サイクリングロードを走っていて、他の自転車や歩行者、ジョギングをしている人などに自分の存在を知らせるために使用している。そのために必要充分な音量だと思う。

    I had the older V4 (left in pictures) of the Timber Bell and they don’t give guidance on Toque of course after getting a new bike did it up a little too tight and broke the plastic.

    This one is much chunkier (right in pictures) and feels like it can handle more abuse, the switch mechanism is much better, and the hinge to get it on the bars without scratching them is also great (and not stressing the plastic out) overall it’s a bit larger than the older style but if the parts are modular as they claim this should last a long time.

    Really is vital to be noticed when out and about on single tracks and shared access ways. Most people don’t mine being alerted but I’ve across many people and their dogs who get a bit grumpy. This does what it says on the tin and alerts others to your presence.
