MOUNTAIN BIKE HELMETS

A perfect blend of technology and durability, Bollé mountain bike helmets for men and women redefine the standard for all-mountain and cross-country performance: Each model is designed to provide maximum safety without compromising comfort or aerodynamics, ensuring cyclists an exceptional experience on all terrains.

Why choose a specific helmet for mountain biking?

Mountain biking is typically practiced on varied and often rugged, technical terrains, which presents unique challenges due to the intensity of the activity, making it distinct from road cycling. An essential part of this sport, a mountain bike helmet must offer more than just protection: it should be comfortable, lightweight, and built to withstand the demands of the sport.

Some Bollé mountain bike helmets, like the TRACKDOWN MIPS, are equipped with advanced technologies such as the MIPS® system to protect the brain. This allows for relative movement between the helmet and the head, in all directions. This feature helps reduce the rotational movement transferred to the brain during oblique impacts. Note that this model also comes with the Opti-Dock option to secure all sizes of sunglasses.

Unlike road cycling helmets, Bollé mountain bike helmets offer greater coverage at the back, with enhanced protection at the nape and temples. They also feature an adjustable visor with three positions, providing effective protection from branches, mud splashes, and the sun’s rays.

How to choose your mountain bike helmet?

Size is essential to ensure the effectiveness of a bike helmet. Measure the circumference of your head at the widest point, usually just above the eyebrows. Ensure the helmet is snug enough to stay in place but comfortable without excessive pressure. Bollé’s Click-To-Fit™ system allows for precise and easy adjustment, even when wearing gloves. It ensures the helmet stays securely in place, even during the most demanding mountain biking sessions.

Depending on the type of mountain biking, the choice of helmet may vary. For highly demanding disciplines such as enduro or downhill, a full-face helmet is highly recommended to provide maximum protection for both the face and head. For cross-country, all-mountain rides, or biking on rugged trails, a mountain bike helmet with an adjustable visor is ideal. This type of helmet also offers reinforced protection at the nape.

Is it mandatory to wear a helmet while mountain biking?

In France, wearing a bike helmet is only mandatory for children under 12 years old, whether they are riders or passengers. For those over the age of 12, wearing a helmet is a personal choice. However, wearing a helmet while mountain biking is essential for safety. In mountain biking, the risks of falls and collisions are higher, and a good helmet can literally save a cyclist’s life. The importance of protection cannot be overstated, especially in disciplines where speed plays a crucial role.
