2022 Fox Proframe RS Helmet FOX

The Fox Proframe RS Helmet was designed from the ground up to be the lightest, most effective, and most comfortable full-face Fox has ever produced.

Although light on weight, the Proframe RS is heavy on protection, featuring a Varizorb EPS foam inner shell to protect against both high and low-speed impacts along with MIPS Integra technology to further protect the brain from rotational forces.

Advanced in-moulding allows the shock-absorbing inner shell to be securely fused to the robust polycarbonate shell making a helmet that is significantly lighter and better ventilated. Speaking of ventilation, the Proframe RS has twenty-four big bore vents which help channel air through the helmet for maximum cooling.

Who’s this item for: The Proframe was designed with input from riders competing in the Enduro World Series so this helmet is very much for people that need to ride up and down mountains all day. This helmet meets the ASTM DH standard as well as the MTBA DH guidelines so you could wear it for Downhill racing if you like, but it is meant for Enduro racing.

Construction: In moulded (Varizorb) dual-density EPS with a polycarbonate outer shell. One layer is a bit softer and one layer is a bit harder to provide excellent protection against both high-speed and low-speed impacts.

Rotational liner: Yes, this helmet features a MIPS Integra impact protection system combining an EPP liner with the EPS layer and is designed to reduce rotational forces in a crash.

Straps: Chinstrap with a Fidlock SNAP magnetic buckle for fast and secure entry and exit, even while wearing gloves.

Retention System: This helmet uses the BOA fit system for class leading fit and security.

Ventilation: 24 vents make it one of the lightest and most breathable DH certified helmets available. Increased ventilation and decreased surface contact area improves cooling even over the regular Proframe MIPS helmet.

Padding: Ships with a set of Ionic+ anti-microbial liner and cheek pads to optimize fit as well as a spare set of thick and thin pads (depending on what comes installed).

Visor: 3 position adjustable visor thsat will be compatible with your favourite goggles. There’s even a removable under visor GoPro mount included.

Weight: 750g (medium)

Pros: DH certified protection in a super lightweight and breathable package. You won’t sound like Darth Vader on the climbs with one of these on.

Cons: We’re struggling to find any.
