Features of a full face MTB helmet

A full face MTB helmet is specifically designed to provide most head and facial protection for mountain bike riders.

Especially those tackling more technical, high-speed terrain.

Unlike a standard open-face helmet, a full face helmet extends coverage to the chin and jaw. making it the preferred choice for downhill, bike park, freeride, and enduro riding where higher risk and faster speeds are common.

Modern full face helmets are engineered to balance safety and comfort.

Many models incorporate advanced impact protection systems. A popular one is MIPS: Multi-directional Impact Protection System. Look out for the yellow circle.

Or similar technologies designed to reduce rotational forces during a crash.

Well-designed ventilation channels allow for consistent airflow. Which is important for riding in warmer climates or during long bike days.

A durable outer shell, adjustable visors, and removable or washable liners are standard features too.

Why wear a full face MTB helmet?

Full face MTB helmets are a practical investment for riders who ride steep descents, technical terrain or bike park features. Such as big jumps and drop-offs.

A full face helmet has a built-in chin bar and extended shell that protects not only the top and sides of your head but also your jaw, mouth, and face.

This is crucial when riding at higher speeds or on steep, technical trails where crashes can be more severe.

Enduro full face MTB helmet

For riders who want the most ventilated full-face MTB helmet, consider an enduro full face.

These helmets use the most amount of vents and air chanels to direct cool air into the helmet and hot air out.

Enduro full-face MTB helmets are perfect for riders who are pedaling for long distances. Especially rides that involve climbing.

One example is the Fox Proframe.

The Proframe has many air channels that enhance ventiulation. It also cuts down on the weight of the helmet.

Some enduro helmets include a removable chin bar.

Thise gives riders the flexibility to switch between full face and open face setups.

Depending as the trail or riding conditions change.

An example is the Bell Super 3R.

DH full-face MTB Helmet

A DH (Downhill) full-face helmet has less air vents than an Enduro full-face MTB helmet.

And it prioritises maximum protection. And less for long distance riding comfort.

Choose a DH full face helmet if you're shuttled or chairlifted to the top of the trails and you need the protection on the way down.

The outer shell of DH full face helmets are thicker.

Plus, the internal padding is thicker and covers a larger area inside the helmet.

Fox Full Face MTB Helmet

Fox Racing is one of the most trusted names in mountain biking. Fox full face MTB helmets are designed for riders who push their limits on downhill tracks, bike parks, and aggressive enduro terrain.

As such, Fox full face MTB helmets come in Enduro and Downhill versions.

First, the Downhill MTB helmets from lowest to highest.

The Fox Rampage starts the range off as the most affordable Downhill certified MTB helmet. Mips brain protection system, lightweight mould, double D-ring closure and goggle compatible makes it popular.

The Fox Rampage Comp brings more aggressive styling and a lighter fibre-glass outer shell. And it's still paired with Mips, better ventilation and double D-rings.

Made from a super light carbon-fibre shell, next is the Rampage Pro Carbon (RPC).

The benchmark is the newly released Rampage Pro Carbon RS (Race Spec). This features the top-of-the-range Mips Integra split. Caters for low speed and high speed impacts.
