Trigger Bell v7: a safer jet-black bell with a brass bell, an ergonomic thumb trigger, spring and integrated handlebar strap

Urban riding isn't predictable

Traditional bells force you to move your hand away from the brake to ring. That split second matters.

"The Trigger Bell bike bell is so well thought out and nicely executed that I think it would be my first choice of bell for most bikes"

Ian Walker

4,300km Trans-European Race Winner · Road.cc

"Well designed and works on almost any bike — if you want a small but useful bell, look no further."

Road.cc

"This little wonder has been designed so it can be used quickly while braking, turning and changing gear."

Evening Standard

"All-in-all, it's a very clever piece of design and one I highly recommend."

Calibre Magazine

"Always within reach and nice sounding, the Trigger Bell will suit drop bar users better than a standard model."

Warn early. Be ready to brake.

You already brake instinctively — Trigger Bell works with that instinct, not against it

Let people know you're there earlier and politely.

Yes — it's loud enough

As loud as a traditional bike bell

A clear, sharp tone that pedestrians, other cyclists and shared-path users hear. The bell is custom-grade brass, for a clearer ring than cheaper aluminium bells.

"Makes a nice clear ring and everyone so far has heard it and got out of the way. Job done."

Survivor, UK · Verified Amazon Review

"Super-clear and high-pitched ring seems to travel further than most others, and even seems to give a heads-up to headphone wearing folk."

"Trigger Bell was literally a life-saver, being able to use my bell and hit hard on the brakes I was able to avoid an accident."

Metod, London, UK

"The idea behind it is amazing, completely hidden. The sound of it is perfect. Best bell ever, and I've tried many."

Umberto, London, UK

"Trigger Bell allows me to alert other trail users of my presence while maintaining full speed and full control of my bike on singletrack without changing my hand position. Incredible design. This is the bell I've been waiting for."

Jean-Paul, USA

"Super safe bell, great for inner-city cycling. Got used to it really quickly, and having my thumb trigger-ready is now second nature."

Kunu, UK

"I wanted a bell after several occasions when pedestrians stepped out in front of me. But I always felt that needing to take my hand off the handlebar to ring the bell was unsatisfactory. This works perfectly."

Jo R, UK · Verified Amazon Review

"You've provided probably the best customer support I've ever experienced. So I recommend Trigger Bell to every cyclist I know!"

Questions, answered

Will it fit my bike?

Yes. Trigger Bell fits flat bars and drop bars (on the hoods and the drops), including mountain, city, road, electric and folding bikes, and all gear types except Campagnolo.

How loud is it?

As loud as a traditional bike bell, with a bright, clear ring made to alert pedestrians and other road users. The bell is high-quality, custom-grade brass, which gives a clearer ring than cheaper aluminium bells.

Can I really ring and brake at the same time?

Yes. The trigger sits right by your thumb, so a short flick rings the bell while your fingers stay on the brake lever.

How do I fit, move or remove it?

It takes two minutes with a flat-head screwdriver. Instructions are on the packaging, and there's a fitting video for every handlebar and gear type.

What changed in version 7?

A redesigned torsion spring for a smooth, consistent trigger action, and a tougher integrated strap to hold Trigger Bell in place. Everything you loved about version 6 is unchanged.
