The Fox Speedframe Pro Backfade Helmet, designed in collaboration with our mountain bike pros, has received the highest rating (5 stars) from Virginia Tech in its bicycle helmet evaluation—and for good reason. This high-endopen-face Fox Speedframe Pro Backfade mountain bikehelmet offers a suite of industry-leading features that will protect you every time you venture out on the trails.
Performance-Focused Open-Face Trail Helmet
Topping the list is the Mips® Air Node protection system—a low-friction layer for lightweight, fully ventilated helmets designed to reduce rotational movement and redirect forces away from the brain in the event of a crash. The dual-density Varizorb™ EPS further enhances impact protection by distributing forces over a larger surface area. The BOA® Fit system allows you to make micro-adjustments to optimize every ride. The antimicrobial Ionic+® liner manages odors and wicks away moisture. It’s easily removable and washable. The one-handed-adjustable visor is compatible with sunglasses or prescription glasses. The helmet features a dedicated sunglasses mount. If you’re looking for a performance-oriented Trail helmet, you’re in luck. You’ve just found your new model!
