Pros | Breathable, more robust than other enduro-focused options, lightweight | Comfortable, breathable, secure fit, substantial protection for enduro-style lid | Very comfortable, protective, surprisingly versatile | Lightweight, excellent ventilation, quality fit | Extremely light, versatile, comfortable |
Cons | Not suited for frequent bike park duties, a little expensive | Slightly heavier than other enduro lids, not the best option for the bike park | Mediocre airflow, not well suited for substantial amounts of pedaling | Narrow range of use compared to other helmets, tight chin bar | Not the most protective, mud can clog up the chin bar bar attachment system |
