Claudio Posted July 28, 2014 Share When I go into most bike shops it's seldom I will see a helmet that is not suited to the road or XC purposes. There's countless options of them out there. It's not often you see something with some rear and side support – more focused on the trail and all mountain side of things. I set out to see what I could find that is readily available in South Africa. This is Part 2 of our helmet shootout, focussing on trail lids.

Guest Posted July 28, 2014 Share Fox Flux is by far the best option specially considering the price.It is also the best looking helmet out of the 3."Best Buy" is the Flux Daniel J Méssem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braailegend Posted July 28, 2014 Share That "rear spoiler" of the flux is awesome to keep goggles in place on muddy DH days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted July 28, 2014 Share I'd be concerned that the exposed, unprotected styrofoam on the top of the Bontrager would be prone to dings and damage very easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranky Posted July 28, 2014 Share I'd be concerned that the exposed, unprotected styrofoam on the top of the Bontrager would be prone to dings and damage very easily... I believe there is a (very) clear coat of plastic over the styrofoam to protect it but it may mean that it's thinner than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkbstr Posted July 28, 2014 Share Flux fan myself, the new line of Scott trail/AM helmets launched recently will hopefully also find their way to our shores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted July 28, 2014 Share Where would you throw the 661 into the mix? The 661 EVO AM is the most comfortable out of all 6 helmets tested for the shootout, is competitive with weight and offers more coverage than the 3 tested here. It's also competitively priced at R2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roskii Posted July 28, 2014 Share Just picked up the 661 Repeater from Dial'd. Light and comfortable! Would be a real contender in this lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
