- Two clamp sizes (22.2 and 31.8 mm) plus a carbon-safe version
- Long singing tone that works well on quiet cycle paths
- Anodised aluminium feels premium and resists corrosion
Cons
- Not loud enough for heavy traffic or tourists who refuse to move aside
- Tiny T25 torx bolt requires the right key during installation
Crane E-Ne Bell
Pros
- Around 82 dB with a beautifully pure, long-sustained tone
- Just 27 grams — the lightest serious bell in this comparison

- Metal strap has to match your bar diameter precisely
- Copper quickly tarnishes to brown/green in humid climates
