Even if you’re just breaking into mountain biking, that doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate competition-level gear. That approach has directly informed Fox Racing’s latest Mainframe helmet, which aims to bring competition-class features to a helmet that’s competitively priced — especially for those who are just starting out in the space. The latest addition to an arsenal of premium mountain bike helmets for both youth and adult riders, the Fox Racing team packed a lot of thought into every element of this helmet. From the molded vent structure to the removable, moisture-wicking (and washable) liner each detail has been carefully considered. Comfort and breathability aside, the key feature is the MIPS Protection System, which is designed to absorb and redirect energy away from the brain in the event of a crash or fall (and received the prestigious Virginia Tech 5 star safety rating to boot).
