Out-mould polycarbonate outer shell is fused to an EPS foam inner core for lightweight impact absorption. Fully adjustable unisize headlock and removable, high-wicking liners focus on a secure fit and straightforward hygiene.
All-day airflow – thanks to 15 air vents including 4 rear outlets
Vents are arranged to draw cool air in and channel warm air out via rear exits, helping heat escape from around the EPS foam liner. Positioning reduces trapped hot spots during activity.
Reduced heat buildup helps riders stay comfortable on longer sessions and reduces sweat accumulation.
Secure, adaptable fit – with a fully adjusting unisize headlock system
Headlock mechanism allows incremental tightening around the skull while side straps lock with a micro Sport Direct Lock System to hold alignment. Quick-release chin buckle allows fast on/off.
Stable, repeatable fit suits different head shapes and makes the helmet quick to adjust between users.
Hygiene that’s simple to maintain – with removable, washable inner pads
Inner pads and chin pad are made from high-wicking material and are removable for hand washing, with fabrics selected to discourage bacterial growth.
Easy cleaning keeps the lining fresh and reduces odour, prolonging usable life between replacements.
