The right MTB helmet for you
If you want to hit the trails at high speeds, it is important that you wear an MTB or Enduro helmet which you can rely on. Most mountain bike helmets are manufactured using the In-Mold procedure, which creates a firm bond between EPS foam and outer helmet shell. This allows for very high shock absorption. MTB helmets come with a different shape than road helmets. With a deep drop at the back, they ensure particularly strong protection in the back of the head area. What’s more, a built-in visor protects from branches hanging down on your way. When choosing the right MTB helmet, it matters above all that the helmet fits without wobbling or slipping on your head. An individually adjustable and easy-to-use fitting system, a comfortable snug-fitting strap system, a low weight and good ventilation thanks to large vents top off the package.
Experience it live – camera mount on your MTB helmet
Some of the MTB helmets in our range offer the possibility to mount an action camera. They usually come with an included adapter which can be fixed at the vents of the helmet. You can then attach your GoPro or other helmet cameras on top of it. Simply clip the camera on in its protective sleeve and your ride will be filmed. A great feature for those who love experiencing their tours at home again.
When should I replace my MTB helmet?
A crash might seriously damage your bike helmet. Not every damage is visible on the outside though. Cracks in the material and the foam inside will keep the helmet from absorbing as much energy as it did before – your safety is no longer guaranteed. That’s why you should replace your MTB helmet after every fall. Even if your mountain bike helmet wasn’t used in a crash, you should replace it at regular intervals. UV rays, moisture and other outside influences remove the helmet’s glue after a certain amount of time, or they cause the helmet’s material to wear out. This is why we recommend buying a new helmet regularly.
CE and US standard – the safe MTB helmet
The CE standard DIN EN1078 is mandatory for all bike helmets sold in the European Union and Switzerland. This is the minimum requirement for all MTB helmets. In addition, there is also the US testing standard ASTM F1952-15 or ASTM F2032-15 for helmets used in downhill or BMX sports demanding a higher safety standard. The US standard requires a full face protection. Chin bow, closure system and helmet shell are put through their paces in this test. If you love fast rides with your mountain bike, you should go for a full-face helmet with high safety standard. You will find our full face helmets here.
MIPS – technology against rotational forces
Some of the MTB helmets in our range come with the additional “MIPS” feature. This “Multi-Directional Impact Protection System” is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head possibly reducing head injury from rotational impacts. Bike helmets with this technology are marked with “MIPS”.
