Trail riding and XC racing can offer quite a few dangers that mean we want to be well protected. The Fox Racing Speedframe Pro Bike Helmet has the distinction of having earned the Virginia Tech’s best rating (5 STARS) in its Bicycle Helmet Ratings program. Virginia Tech is recognized industry-wide as authorities in the testing of helmets. And it is a little surprising so few much more expensive helmets cannot meet the highest standards that the Speedframe Pro Bike Helmet does. It features the MIPS technology that works to reduce rotational forces in those instances when you do take a tumble on the trails. In addition to that essential feature, the Speedframe Pro Bike Helmet benefits from the feedback and input that Fox Racing has received from their sponsored pros. So you’ll get things like the Fidlock SNAP helmet buckle that opens and closes effortlessly even with gloved hands, but always stay securely fastened especially when you need it most. The dual-density Varizorb EPS interior provides excellent cushioning in case of impact while keeping the weight low. For sweaty rides up a mountain, the XT2 antimicrobial comfort liner feels soft against your skin and absorbs buckets of sweat. It is also removable and washable, so you won’t have to worry about your helmet taking on an aura of its own after a few hot, humid adventures. The venting on the helmet has been designed to allow an abundance of airflow to aid in keeping your head cool. The 360 fit system allows you to dial in your fit every ride while the visor can be adjusted to three different positions, and is goggle compatible.
