If you like scary fast, technical mountain bike trails then a full face helmet is the only choice. Downhillers, enduro racers, long travel emtb riders and BMX racers all wear them every time they ride. Now with modern lightweight and breathable options, more trail riders are choosing the ventilated full face and removable chin bar options. With most modern helmet brands using MIPS liners to help reduce impact force in rotational impacts, every update gives you higher levels of protection. Top models are using dual layer foam with different density materials to increase the range impact forces they can help protect from.

To race DH, attend your local gravity shuttle days or hop on a bike park chairlift, you’ll need a proper downhill rated full face helmet.

Look out for the top level ASTM 1952 Downhill, ASTM 2032 BMX, and NTA-8776 E-bike Certifications in addition to the standard CPSC, EN 1078 and AS/NZS 2063 approvals. Most models are available in adult and youth size options to suit all ages of shredders.
