Mountain biking can be a pricey hobby to get into, but when it comes to keeping your head safer in the event of a tumble, you shouldn't have to compromise, even if you don't have the biggest budget. And this is where the Youth Mainframe Helmet (MIPS) comes into play. Packed with the latest head-protecting tech, it offers superb coverage at an accessible price. From smooth flowing singletrack to tough and technical trails, it's got you covered. Trail-Slaying Safety The construction is of Fox's in-moulded EPS design. This sees a shock-absorbing inner EPS foam covered by a tough polycarbonate outer. Should you crash, always a possibility when tackling technical trails and riding hard and fast, then the EPS foam soaks up and dissipates the damaging forces of a head impact. The tough outer is there to fend off those smaller knocks and bumps you might get when getting a bit too close to tree branches and trail-side overgrowth. Next comes the MIPS brain protection system, a brilliant bit of technology to feature at this entry-level price point. 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.

With large vents and carefully optimised inner air channels, you'll always have fresh airflow over your head. So whether it's a stiff climb or fast downhill, you remain comfortable and fresh. Inside the Mainframe, the moisture-wicking padding does a great job of preventing you from being soaked in sweat as you pick up speed. And they're washable too, so you can always get that new-helmet feel back. The MIPS integrated fit is the final touch on this impressive MTB helmet. This gives a quick and easy way to get the fit just right. And a secure helmet is a safer helmet too. So twist the dial, get comfortable and go rip up some trails.
Race-Ready Protection When stood at the top of a trail peering down at what lies ahead, ready to hit big features and the toughest of terrain, young riders want the confidence that should it go wrong then they're protected. The Youth Raceframe Roost gives them that confidence to keep expanding and learning new skills without fear of falling.

A removable backplate adds versatility, allowing easy adaptability of protection levels. Whether they're relishing an epic day at the MTB park or going for the podium between the tape, the Youth Raceframe Roost won't let them down. Rider Attack Position (RAP) ™ Protection is all very well but young mountain bikers will want to be able to move and manoeuvre their bike quickly and easily, which is where the Youth-specific sizing and MTB specific Rider Attack Position (RAP) ™ design shines. The articulated design hugs the body and adjustable shoulder straps and waistband make it easy to dial in a customised fit, allowing an unprecedented level of flexibility. When steering across rocks, roots, steep chutes and launching big booters this unrestricted feeling really comes into its own, leaving them to concentrate on getting fast lines right and not on ill-fitting armour.
