We compared two loud bike bells: the Greallthy Full-Metal Bike Bell and the ROCKBROS 120dB Bike Bell.
What we looked at
Materials, stated volume, handlebar fit, and price.
The verdict
If you want a small, full-metal bell with a stated 80dB tone and two mounting brackets for 22.2 to 31.8mm bars, the Greallthy is the pick at £13.95. If you would rather have a retro copper alloy bell with a stated 120dB tone for £13.99, just 4p more, the ROCKBROS is the alternative.
A £13.95 brass, aluminium and stainless steel bell of about 50g, over 80dB.
A £13.99 retro copper alloy bell claiming 120dB, with 2 spacers.
