We're curious, what helmet is your favorite for the style of riding that you do and why?

@christophbehrendt87 Жыл бұрын

IXS Trigger FF. The best helmet imo cause it has also mips and is certified for downhill as well and perfect airflow by just 600 grams.

@Coolcmsc Жыл бұрын

Well, the Giro Insurgent spherical MIPS is very similar to the Bell Full 10. I’ve been very happy with it, but I whacked my head and it did a great job and now needs to be replaced. It’s cheaper than the Full 10. So…

@petedivine 10 ай бұрын

I own the Bell Super 3R. I use it for local trail and enduro races. I do a lot of stupid shit so I use a full face. Broke two half shells this year in wrecks. Could easily have been my teeth or jaw hitting those rocks.

I have Giro Switchblae Mips. Its an excellent DH/enduro helmet. Very comfortable and very strong helmet. But i want to get Troy Lee Stage. Because Giro does not have alot of air ventilation etc. Sometimes when i do alot of riding and bread alot it can tough to bread specially in the winter. I really like that troy lee design

Never use a biking helmet u have to use motor cross helmet if u hit jumps and ride fast ..not one mountain bike helmet is certified above 25 mph ...ur head is the most important thing without ur head you can't do anything

@sandiegojody Жыл бұрын

I just purchased the Smith Mainline and Fox Proframe (size large / 59mm head) and would have to say the Mainline is a bit more comfortable. I did play around with the different size pads. The MIPS system on both helmets do creak a lot. Hopefully this goes away after a few downhill rides. If not, I will return and get a non-MIPS helmet.

@DirtNastyy 7 ай бұрын

I just retired my proframe yesterday. Had it for 6 months, had one crash yesterday and got knocked out. The lightweight is nice but I’ve hit my head much harder on my dirtbike and walked away just fine…this one was at a slow speed and messed me up.

My old DH helmet was the RPC before i had to retire it. Mine was the white NITEEYEZ color way and I broke my original visor, but, Fox didn’t have any color matched visor available, so I had to finagle an older RPC visor in black 🫤

I ride motorcycles and of the ways we shop is based on our head type, which is round or oval. How come you don’t address round or oval in the video when talking about bicycle helmets? It would really help us when shopping especially online. Cheers

Agree, I think this is lacking in the mountain bike world in general. Moto helmet vendors usually state what shape head fit the helmet is for, but I have not seen this from any of the mountain bike helmets. I'm an Arai Signet long oval, so finding the right fit can be hard.

@@DoubleTap702 I have a odd shape head and often fit between a medium and a large. I just wished they had more than 2 shell sizes. Small and medium use same shell size and makes the changes with pad/liner sizing. Same with the Large/XL. I went with a size large. Fits secure and good ventilation.
