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.

Inside the Mainframe, the moisture-wicking padding does a great job of preventing you from being soaked in sweat as you pick up speed.

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.
