An MTB helmet is essential for every mountain biker. Mountain bike helmets protect your head which is the most vulnerable part of your body in a crash, so it’s worth investing in a good one.

Why wear an MTB helmet? Crashes are an inevitable part of the sport, hardly a surprise with so many obstacles on the trail, but there is no need to risk your head. A good MTB helmet will save your head from injury when you do take a spill.

MIPS protection: MIPS is a safety technology that is designed to reduce injury caused by angled impacts when wearing a mountain bike helmet. A MIPS MTB helmet includes a slip-plane layer that allows the helmet to move, transferring the angled force away from your head. The best MTB helmet will have MIPS or a similar slip-plane technology alongside other bike safety features.

Types of Mountain Bike Helmet: Cross country mountain bike helmets are lighter weight with plenty of ventilation to give you the racing edge. A trail or enduro MTB helmet offers greater protection when you’re riding more challenging trails. DH and enduro full face MTB helmets can be found in our full-face helmet section.
