Fox RacingSpeedframe Pro Mountain Bike Helmet

Well, it's time to say goodbye to the wonderful and absolutely comfortable Fox Speedframe. After 2.5 years it's been a outstanding helmet in terms of fit and all-day comfort. While I still agree I should have bought the large (read below), the medium worked very well. I purchased additional interior kits as they don't really last much longer than a year, probably the only down side to this helmet. This past weekend I had a pretty hard crash and my head hit a huge rock, the helmet took every bit of the impact. I got up, dusted myself off and finished the chunky DH. When I got back to my vehicle I took my helmet off and knew right then and there it served its purpose and was no longer trail worthy. Honestly I could have kept it but my head is worth more than a $180 helmet. Would I buy again? Absolutely. What an outstanding piece of kit. In retrospect it was a bit warm on summer day rides, again, maybe because I chose black but it was so comfortable. Just purchased a SMITH Forefront 2 to change it up. Review on that a little later. So far the SMITH has a very similar fit/feel to the FOX. But the SMITH works so much better with larger glasses as the brow of the FOX helmet interfered with my glasses.I wanted to wait to write a review of this helmet until I was able to spend some time with it. A little background about me, been riding MTB for 5+ years, 4 of that intermediate to expert. My first helmet was a FOX Flux, it was a budget helmet and did its job well, loved the fit. When the Bell Super 2R came out I wanted a more flashy helmet with an option for a front (removable) gaurd. Immediately I noticed that the Bell fit like it was sitting on top of my head whereas the FOX felt like it surrounded my head. I missed the feeling of the FOX.I stuck it out and rode with the Bell for a few years and decided recently to retire it due to numerous small crashes but mostly because of its age.This time around I was eager to get back into a FOX and noted how much I really liked the way the Speedframe looked. I measured my head and noticed I fell smack dab between a medium and a large. I chose medium and it fits great, unfortunately because of the medium size I cannot fit a sweatband very easily. In the cooler months I suspect it will not allow me to wear something to keep my head warm. I should have chose the Large. Still, no regrets.Now, the good stuff. I absolutely love this helmet! It feels like my head is inside the helmet, like FOX helmets have always felt to me. It's noticeably lighter than my Bell too. The strap system is considerably more adjustable and the magnetic closure system is just ingenious, once you use it you'll never want to go back.I will add, this helmet feels slightly warmer on a hot day and its certainly not due to a lack of vents, it's likely the colour (I chose black, old helmet was white). I also chose the PRO model as I wanted the better MIPS protection.

Fox has done it again, the helmet exceeds expectations, tried other MTB helmets, I find Fox as the best fit and finish.

Very comfortable and fits nicely. the chin strap has a magnetic buckle that allows it to quickly and easily latch, even if I am wearing gloves. highly recommended.

I find the helmet pretty comfortable, and appreciate the dial fit adjustment to snug up the fit (to adjust for any helmet liner I might be wearing). I like the fidloc buckle, though I found out the hard way that you need to have it well clear of your skin as you fasten it; I once caught a bit of skin on it, and it was neither quick nor painless to extricate my neck skin from the buckle. Otherwise, I find fidloc buckle convenient and easy to use.

Lighter, better fit and looked smaller on my head, so I returned the POC and Specialized helmets since I bought them all at the same time to compare.

Especially like the magnetic buckle. One small issue. Back area has no padding so my bald head sits on smooth plastic. Not ideal for sweat. Plastic on skin.

This is a great protection with great looks and feel

The helmet is exactly what I wanted. As a matter fact the best fitting helmet I've ever had, and I've had a few over the years. The most important part was the seller reaching out to inform me of an issue they had with helmet I ordered. They really stepped in up by making sure what I got was what I wanted. I ended up getting a different color, which was absolutely good, and they honored the sale price of the original helmet. I was very impressed with this company calling me to handle this matter. With that said, I highly recommend this seller and will be buying from them again. A big Thank you! To the person who I talked to. Good to know people still care and stand by their word.
