Lightweight, advanced tech, and a protective design are everything we need for aggressive riding. The Giro Coalition Spherical Helmet is our new go-to helmet for full-face protection. The Giro Coalition Spherical Helmet has an in-molded polycarbonate shell for a lightweight and durable design with 23 vents, so we stay cool even on the hottest days. This helmet features a dual-density EPP and EPS liner to absorb impacts, and a Mips Spherical technology acts as a slip plane between the helmet and our head so we can minimize energy from angled impacts. The Halo chin bar system has been reinforced with Pebex and elastomer bushing to give the chin bar flex and absorb kinetic energy.

Created specifically for trail and enduro riding, the Axion helmet features a lightweight feel with heavy protection. High-risk areas are protected with extended zones around the temples and back of the head, and the neck is protected by the patented adjustable breakaway peak that reduces forces on impact by snapping off.

Also included is a 360° adjustment system, giving you a snug fit for added comfort and security.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I rely on the Cinder Mips Helmet for long road rides where airflow, comfort, and a secure fit matter most. The Roc Loc 5 dial is super intuitive, and the Mips protection gives me extra confidence without adding bulk."We chase the open road with confidence when wearing the Giro Cinder Mips Helmet. Designed to balance style, comfort, and performance, this helmet borrows inspiration from Giro’s premium Synthe line. Whether we’re grinding up mountain passes or cruising along scenic byways, the sleek profile and extensive ventilation keep us cool and comfortable on every ride. Built with a full-wrap In-Mold polycarbonate shell and reinforced with a Thermoformed SL Roll Cage, the Cinder Mips Helmet offers lightweight strength and protection.

The Youth Flight Pro Helmet brings that high level of safety to any rider or thrill-seeker looking to level up their protection without sacrificing style. It features Mips technology, a interior shape which sits lower on your head to improve overall fit, and a 360 fit system to adjust the comfort. The Fidlock buckle system clicks open easily for helmet removal, and the helmet comes with two XT2 comfort liners, so you're set for spares when you need 'em.

Even if you know the twists and turns of the trail like the back of your hand, your noggin still deserves reliable protection against unexpected falls and impacts. To cover your cranium for those all-mountain adventures, throw on the Troy Lee Designs A3 MIPS Helmet. Its polycarbonate shell is designed to act as the initial barrier when charging trails, and underlying EPS foam absorbs impact through every fall. The A3 offers additional coverage along the temples and base of your head than its smaller sibling, the A2, but doesn't go overboard with chin bars that are better-suited for the bike park. MIPS technology repositions the helmet to soak up angled impacts, and a ventilated shell keeps you cool on hot summer rides. To protect your eyes from debris and glare, the A3 employs a three-position adjustable visor that our riders applaud for its ability to break cleanly from the helmet through a fall, reducing impact forces if you don't happen to stick the landing.

The POC Omne Lite Helmet is designed to be as lightweight and breathable as possible for race day. This minimalist helmet features only the essentials, including an EPS liner for impact protection, massive exhaust vents for maximum airflow, and a 360° adjustment system so that we can lock in a secure fit.

With the Bell Falcon XRV MIPS Helmet, we ensure our head is protected in the event of a crash, whether on our daily commute or training ride, thanks to its fusion in-mold polycarbonate shell and MIPS Evolve technology. The durable, lightweight helmet sits comfortably on our head and keeps us feeling fresh as we ride with anti-odor comfort padding, while Fidlock buckles and no-twist tri-glides deliver a securely snug fit.

ooking for an open-face helmet with a clean, modern look and advanced protection features? The Project. 21 meets all your requirements. Named after the number of vents, the Project. 21 combines massive airflow with the coverage demanded by increasingly technical bike parks, all-mountain and enduro trails. This airflow gives a cooling effect to keep you comfortable whilst concentrating on the trail ahead.

When we get on our trail or enduro bike, we know a crash is always possible, so we keep ourselves protected with the Mavic Deemax Pro MIPS Helmet strapped to our head. The combination of XRD foam and Mips technology provides an adaptive fit, vibration absorption, and a reduction of rotational forces to the head upon impact, while the extended coverage around the back of the head and temples offers added protection in critical areas. In addition to the external vents and inner cooling channels, Mavic added Coolmax pads to absorb heat and wick sweat, keeping us cool and comfortable no matter how hot the day.

With an easily adjustable fit system, consistent airflow, and an integrated rear LED light, the Smith Dispatch MIPS Helmet is ideal for daily commuters and E-bike riders. The AirEvac system features 8 fixed vents to keep our heads cool, while the VaporFit and Fidlock systems allow easy one-handed adjustments. And, because crashes unfortunately happen, Smith equipped the Dispatch with the MIPS brain protection system to reduce rotational forces caused by impacts to keep us safe.

Smith's road helmet lineup has never been one to disappoint, and this year is no different, with the bar being moved a little higher once again with a new helmet in the mix — the Trace MIPS Helmet. This pinnacle helmet in the road collection features all of the tech you would expect from Smith, like its Koroud protection that fully surrounds the helmet to provide next-level protection, while teaming up with internal air channels so intake as much air, and keep your scalp feeling cool when you're challenging yourself up new climbs, and soaring down canyon roads. The Trace features 18 large vents that are strategically placed to create an intake and exhaust system, pulling cool air in, and giving it a quick escape in the back. And because those long rides also mean varying lighting conditions, Smith builds the Trace with an AirEvac system that works to keep your shades fog-free while riding, and vents that neatly secure your glasses when you need to take them off after dusk falls.

No matter how experienced we may be on the trails, protecting our head in the event of a crash is of utmost importance, so we clip on the Oakley DRT3 Trail Helmet before we head out on our ride. Its extra-durable outer shell and textile foam padding absorb impact, while the added MIPS technology reduces rotational motion as our head hits the ground for added protection. To ensure a secure fit to the head, we tighten down the 360-degree fit system and adjust our visor to keep the sun out of our face.

Urban riders need as much protection as the rest, and that's why we turn to the Escape MIPS Helmet from Giro to keep us safe on our daily rides. With ventilation and deep coverage, we're sure to remain cool and confident no matter how strenuous our commute. An adjustable Roc Loc Sport MIPS system provides superior fit, and integrated MIPS protection guards against rotational forces upon impact.

They may be smaller, but young riders still need the same safety features from a helmet that their parents are getting. Closely resembling the adult Quarter MIPS helmet, Giro's Dime MIPS Helmet makes sure young riders look the part while staying safe. With an ABS plastic outer layer for surrounding an inner EPS foam layer, the Dime is no lighter on the protection than the Quarter. Like it's adult counterpart, it also includes polyurethane reinforcement on the EVA foam, as well as removable Fit Kit foam pads. It's now available with added MIPS technology in the form of a thin inner layer that rotates in the event of impact to minimize damage from rotational forces. Eight vents keep kids cool, with two size options for getting the right fit.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I grabbed this for weekend road rides and ended up using it every day—it’s super comfortable, has MIPS, and vents surprisingly well. Looks clean too, which is a bonus." Whether we're putting in long miles on open roads or just weaving through traffic on a morning commute, the Sweet Protection Outrider MIPS Helmet gives us peace of mind with a sleek profile and advanced protection. Sweet Protection packs this helmet with safety-focused features without tacking on extra bulk or sacrificing airflow. The Outrider uses the same shell technology found in Sweet’s high-end performance helmets and adds MIPS technology to help reduce rotational forces during angled impacts. Its lightweight, in-mold construction and efficient ventilation system keep us cool on climbs and focused on the ride. The fit system dials in quickly, and the low-profile design means we forget we’re even wearing it—until it saves our skin.

Brush up on your history of Leatt, and you'll discover a rich past based upon the creation of safer, smarter equipment for those that ride off-road. The California-based brand's two decades of experience has provided us with reliable gear from body armor to neck braces, and the MTB 4. 0 AllMtn Helmet is their latest launch to offer superior protection at an affordable price. Its rugged frame is built from a lightweight polymer compound to reduce neck fatigue as you grind up the mountain, and EPS foam handles higher speed impacts no matter where the trail takes you. We especially like Leatt's 360-degree Turbine Technology, which dramatically reduces harmful rotational and low-G impact forces.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I love the Dropframe Helmet for aggressive trail riding because the extra ear and jaw coverage adds real confidence without jumping to a full-face. The Mips setup feels dialed, the Varizorb EPS spreads impacts well, and the ventilation is way better than I expected. It’s light, secure, and perfect for big terrain where a normal open-face feels underbuilt."We reach for the Dropframe Helmet when our trail days blend fast descents, tight technical lines, and terrain where we want more protection than a standard open-face design can offer. Its extended coverage around the head, ears, and jaw adds a layer of confidence on exposed ridgelines and chunky sections, while the Mips technology helps manage rotational impacts for extra security in unpredictable moments. With eight intake vents and seven exhaust ports, this helmet stays surprisingly cool during climbs and humid rides. The fixed visor channels air directly into the venting system, and the moisture-wicking liner keeps things comfortable from start to finish. Whether we’re pushing into enduro-style terrain or just wanting a more confidence-inspiring helmet for daily trail laps, the Dropframe delivers stability, airflow, and dependable protection.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "When I want to go fast without overheating, this is the helmet I grab. The Aerocovers™ help early in the ride or on descents, and I pull them off for climbs to get airflow from the STACC vents. It’s super light, looks sleek, and the Fidlock closure is way easier to use than a traditional buckle—especially with gloves."We ride for the edge—the margins where seconds matter, airflow counts, and gear choice makes the difference. That’s where the Sweet Protection Falconer Aero 2Vi Mips Helmet comes in. Inspired by one of the world’s fastest animals, this road helmet is built to slice through wind and stay cool when the pace is relentless. Magnetic Aerocovers™ give us control over drag and temperature, snapping on for streamlined efforts or off to unlock airflow on grueling climbs. The STACC ventilation system channels cool air to key areas of the head for better thermal management, and the Mips Air system adds a lightweight layer designed to reduce rotational energy during angled impacts. A Fidlock magnetic buckle allows for quick one-handed use, while integrated eyewear grippers and a ponytail-compatible rear dial in comfort for long hours on the road.

Sometimes, the trail takes a turn, and we find ourselves in steeper, more aggressive terrain where we might wish we had more protection on our heads. The Fox Racing Dropframe Pro helmet is the answer, as it effectively blends aspects from full-face and half-shell helmets into one helmet with extended protection on the bottom and sides. Fox loaded this helmet with dual-density impact foam to help absorb impact energy, and Mips technology helps reduce rotational forces from angled impacts. A three-position visor and a removable go-pro mount allow us to capture footage for the boys, and a rear BOA dial fit system and a Fidlock magnetic buckle ensure we get the perfect fit every time.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This helmet gives me confidence on everything from mellow trail rides to full enduro stages. The removable chin bar is a game changer—breathable when climbing, protective when descending." We love a helmet that keeps up with our ride style, and the Leatt MTB 4. 0 Enduro Helmet does exactly that. It’s built for the modern trail rider who climbs hard, descends fast, and wants DH-level protection with everyday versatility. Whether we’re lining up for an enduro stage or heading out on a big loop, the 4. 0 has us covered.
