The Speedframe Pro Backfade Helmet was developed with input from our professional mountain bike athletes and has rightfully received the highest rating (5 stars) in the Virginia Tech Bicycle Helmet Ratings program. This premium, open MTB helmet offers a range of market-leading features that protect you on every trail ride.
At the top of the list is the MIPS Air Node protection system, a low-friction layer for fully ventilated lightweight helmets that reduces rotational movement and redirects forces away from your brain in the event of a fall. The Dual-Density Varizorb™ EPS further enhances impact protection by distributing impact forces over a larger area. The BOA® Fit System allows for micro-adjustability for a perfect fit on every ride. The Ionic+® liner is antimicrobial and regulates odors while wicking moisture away from the head, and it is easily removable and washable.
The one-handed adjustable visor is compatible with both sunglasses and prescription glasses, and the helmet features a sunglass-specific storage solution. If you’re looking for a performance-oriented trail helmet, congratulations – you’ve just found your new helmet.
