O’Neal Fury RL MIPS
The O’Neal Fury has been a best seller for some time and now comes packaged with the latest MIPS technology. Although this adds a hundred or so grams to the deal, luckily they had started with one of the lighter full-face lids on the market, so it still comes in at a lean 1100g. In my opinion, that's a small...
iXS Sports Division XULT
Enduro racing has been a catalyst for many mountain bike products over the past few years. Dropper posts, one-by drivetrains and 160mm travel bikes that can climb have all in some way been influenced by the enduro trend. When races became more full-on, riders started having to make choices about headgear, either down to personal choice, or enforced by rules....

Kali Protectives Avatar
Kali have been around for a little while now and we recently reviewed and loved their lightweight trail lid, the Avita. The Avatar is their top of the range helmet and it features their unique composite fusion technology. They keep the ingredients to this pretty secret, but it does make for a ridiculously light lid. The Avatar weighs in at...
SixSixOne Evolution Carbon
Compared to their older models it’s easy to see why 661 named their top model the Evolution. Larger and improved mouth ventilation, larger ventilation ports below the peak, and an upgraded 3K Carbon weave. The fit is nice and snug and is secured by a buckle so there’s no faffing about either at the top of the run or when...

The T2 is the top of the line helmet for THE Industries; it replaces their very popular “ONE” lid that has been a favourite of many riders. The difference between the two helmets is quite striking, THE have been known for adding a touch of class to a lid but with the T2 they have really gone to town. The...

THE Industries The One
Colour: Throwback 1160 Grams 2.560lb The Industries seem to be bridging the gap between the uber desirable and equally expensive helmets on the market, and the sort of lids you see every day. The graphics and detailing is of a really high standard and there are plenty of designs to choose from. The Throwback will appeal to the guy who...
