Safety First Mountain biking is tough on both the body and your equipment. And none more so when you're unfortunate enough to crash. However, the Otocon Helmet is here to keep you safer when it all goes a bit wrong. Reliable head protection comes via the Otocon's dual-material construction. In the event of an impact to the head, a combination of EPP foam lower and EPS foam upper provide the perfect degree of energy dissipation, helping prevent injury. A tough and durable outer shell works with moulded Aramid bridges to enhance structural strength, integrity and improve penetration protection. This is one tough helmet. Peak Performance While the peak is great for keeping out sun and rain, it's also safe, breaking away from the helmet body in a crash, and reducing damaging forces upon your neck. Meanwhile, the chin guard features a removable grill, offering protection from mud and dirt in winter but easily removed to boost airflow in warmer weather or improve cooling when on a tough enduro transition stage. Cool Comfort Be it downhill runs or a tough enduro, it's all very well feeling protected but you certainly don't want that to compromise comfort. Thanks to the excellent ventilation, with internal air channels to maximise airflow, you'll enjoy all-day mountain bike riding comfort. Race Lock Integrated Adjuster A secure helmet is a safer helmet. And with the Race Lock Integrated Adjuster, you can dial in the perfect fit quickly and easily. This keeps the helmet firmly in place over all types of terrain and rock-solid in the event of a crash.

The core of the Trajecta MTB Helmet's protection, both figuratively and literally, is Multi-Density EPS foam. This shock-absorbing centre takes the energies from a head impact and soaks them up to prevent injury. This core is covered by a durable polycarbonate outer, keeping your lid looking good when it's getting almost daily (ab)use. Next comes the 13-point Smartshock® Rotational Protective System. Smartshock® Rotational Protective System While most standard cycle helmets are great at dealing with straight-on impacts, oblique, angular impacts are in fact more likely to occur. These create rotational acceleration and deceleration forces to the head and brain. The Smartshock Rotational System combats those extra forces via a suspension system seamlessly integrated into the helmet. This innovative fully suspended system through compression of direct impacts while elastomers allow inner and outer to move independently of each other. Both features help reduce energy transfer to the brain over a wide range of speed and impact types.
Packing a Protective Punch Weighing in at a gravity-defying 690 grams (size M/L), the Stage MIPS Helmet is the lightest full-face mountain bike helmet in its class. However, not for a moment should you think lightweight means lack of protection. Not a bit of it. The Stage packs a heavyweight flurry of protective punches too. To counter both slow and fast speed impacts it uses Dual-density EPS and EPP foam, absorbing impact forces should you take a tumble. It doesn't end there though. It also features brain-protecting MIPS technology, more detail on that further down. A tough outer Polylite shell optimises strength and adds overall durability - perfect for a helmet that will see a lot of use. A Polyacrilite injected chin bar with EXOskeleton also adds strength without sacrificing weight. Designed for Enduro but passing DH certification, you can be confident to push your mountain biking limits in this lid. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Comfort Built-in So protection is first-rate, what about comfort? Yes, that's fantastic too. 11 high-flow vents let fresh air rush into the Stage, with internal channelling and 14 exhaust ports creating perfect airflow.

The Wasabi (WG11) Team Ineos Grenadiers Road Cycling Helmet has been engineered to be extremely slippery through the air, second only to Kask's Utopia in wind-tunnel tests, but its key innovation comes via the ability to tailor airflow and aerodynamics to your ride. Aero. Warm. Cool. You Choose The Wasabi Aero tackles heat regulation via an innovative sliding front panel. This lets you maintain low-drag performance as the pace increases or you can boost or restrict airflow as and when needed. Closing the vent keeps your head warmer during colder weather conditions, ideal for winter training and early-season racing. But pop it open when the heat rises and you have more cooling airflow. Even with the sliding panel open, the drag increase is minimal (with a claimed 1-watt drag increase at 50 km/h). But this helmet isn't just about heat regulation and aerodynamics, your comfort and safety are of course key characteristics too. WG11 Safety Test The Wasabi exceeds stringent WG11 testing protocols. This series of scientific-based protocols focus on protection from rotational impact forces, measuring rotational kinematics from both oblique and normal impacts. With these safety protocols adhered to, you can be sure this helmet has you covered should you be unfortunate enough to fall from your bike. Naturally Comfortable Inside the helmet, you'll find pads made with merino wool. These pads are excellent at regulating temperature and wicking away moisture, boosting comfort whatever the weather. And with natural bacterial resistance, itchy scalps and nasty smells are prevented. Kask Octo-Fit The Wasabi uses Kask's super-adjustable Octo-Fit system for a perfect fit every time. A rubberised Micro-Dial adjuster provides easy adjustment with a quick twist. Meanwhile, the floating cradle features contact points and supports designed to oscillate freely through 180°, allowing a secure fit on any shaped head. The Skeletal Brackets of the cradle have been engineered and refined to provide the best fit and support while being as light as possible too.
