Inside, a dual-density EPS liner optimizes impact absorption while minimizing weight, working in tandem with the Mips® Air Node system to reduce rotational forces during angled impacts. Large internal channels guide air across the head, ensuring consistent cooling. The 360° fit system and adjustable strap dividers deliver a secure, dialed-in fit for all-day comfort.

How to measure my size?
Helmet sizes are based on head circumference. Measure your size by wrapping a measuring tape snugly around the widest possible circumference - from the most prominent part of the forehead (often 1-2 fingers above the eyebrow) around to the widest part of the back of your head. Measure 3 times, and take the largest number. Using the chart above, select your size.
