Why wear a mountain bike helmet?
Wearing a bicycle helmet is essential for safe cycling. Mandatory for all children under 12, it is an essential part of a cyclist's equipment.

How to choose your bicycle and mountain bike helmet?
To choose the right bike helmet, it's important to choose a model that's suited to your riding style and meets safety standards. There are different types of helmets available depending on the discipline (full-face, classic, etc.). It's also essential to find out about the integrated protection system to maximize protection and limit the risks associated with a fall.
What are the different mountain biking disciplines that exist?
- Down Hill (DH)
- All-Mountain
- Enduro
- Freeride
- Cross-country
- Slopestyle
There are different types of mountain biking. First, Downhill (or downhill mountain biking) involves taking on a prepared trail while netting obstacles, jumps, and banked turns. All-Mountain will delight lovers of the great outdoors who want to explore every corner of the mountain. Indeed, this discipline is a mountain ride with challenging and marked reliefs. As for Enduro, it's a mix of cross-country and downhill, where the rider combines climbs and descents on varied terrain. In Freeride, there are no rules! The mountain is your playground! Cross-Country is more technical than the previous ones. It's a timed race on a circuit with steep sections and rocks to cross. Finally, and for the more adventurous, Slopestyle involves performing tricks on wooden jumps and dirt bumps.
Construction of a helmet
What is a mountain bike helmet made of?
- Internal and external shell
- Protection: MIPS / safety patents
- Internal foam
- Vents
- Adjustment / closing system
A bicycle helmet consists of an outer shell that directly protects the head from the elements. It is bonded to its inner layer, which absorbs and disperses shock waves. To maximize rider protection, helmets are CE-certified and have specific protection patents (such as MIPS and EPS). Furthermore, the bicycle helmet has an internal antibacterial and breathable foam to ensure good air circulation. In addition, multiple vents help cool the rider's head and wick away excess moisture. Finally, helmets have different types of closure and adjustment, from micrometric buckles to chin straps.
The different models of mountain bike helmets
The full-face helmet
Preferred for Enduro and DH riding, the full-face MTB helmet combines protection, comfort, and reliability. Covering the entire head, it allows you to add a MTB mask to protect your eyes from the elements. Protecting the skull, mouth, and chin, it effectively absorbs shocks and reduces the risk of head trauma that can occur following a fall. FIRST RACING models have an adjustable visor and an integrated chin bar to cover even more surface area of your face.
The classic helmet
For road, cross-country, or all-mountain cycling, a classic-shaped helmet will be appreciated for its colors. Lightweight, it offers excellent ventilation and optimal protection, whatever your favorite terrain. Equipped with or without a short visor, the aerodynamic shape of the Enduro MTB helmet is ideal for competitors looking for performance. Are you looking for the best MTB helmet?
