Podium Full Face Mountain Bike Helmet Black Includes MIPS Technology

After suffering a bike accident and smashing up my face with a normal bike helmet I upgraded to full face. This one is light and very snug, but gives me confidence that I won't wreck my face like last time. I picked this too because of the MIPS feature that I hope to never use! You can wear this helmet with the smaller AirPods, but you'll need to push them in or maybe angle them a bit to avoid too much pressure. The helmet doesn't come with a visor, but Oakleys or other shades with similar arms fit fine for me.

I’m thrilled with this helmet. I tried a few brand name MIPS full face helmets and they were not as comfortable and light as this one. I ride gravel on a fat tire mid-drive e-bike. I don’t need a full downhill helmet but I did need something for the bugs and branches, especially with the screened mouth vent. Accommodates both glasses and goggles well.It’s a perfect fit (7 3/8” = LG) for me but be warned, there are zero adjustments on this helmet (-1/2 Star). I got lucky but it will not fit everyone. Breathes well and offers just the protection I wanted. As mentioned in another review, it is slightly tight on the jawline pads but I can live with it.Price was 50% of my next closest choice. It is comfortable enough to be my street helmet as well.This, if it will fit you correctly, is a great bargain!!!

Very comfortable, sleek and well-built. Great value! We'll see how it is in August, but it's really got great air flow design. My head is shaved, so I wear a skull cap under it, but the structure is well put together. The mesh over the ventilation is nice, but would like an option to be able to strap a camera base on somewhere other than the visor without glueing. Aside of that stupid vanity request, this helmet is a gem.

I ride onewheel and i need a full face mountain helmet for trail riding this helmet is Great, very lightweight, good protection and great fitment . And it's looks great 🔥

This is my first full face helmet and I've been riding MTB for 8 months now. I do singletrack but mostly hang out at the jumpline with medium sized jumps. I have not had any hard crashes but took one light tumble and my neck still is stiff after 3 months. I have not tried other helmets and am mostly satisfied with this model.PROS:-decent sized cushioning (other brands have thick 1" cushioning that owners have complained of, which also makes the overall size seem larger.) This model is maybe about 0.5-0.75" thick. they are easy to take out and wash.-does not feel heavy, although I don't have anything else to compare to.CONS:-HEAT. even on snow days, I find myself taking off the helmet to breathe after a while. on summer days 70-80F so far, I take it off every few sessions of the jumpline (15-20minutes at a time) to breathe.-ventilation: this model seems to have less ventilation holes than other popular models.CONCLUSION:I wanted a MIPS full-face at an affordable price for my first helmet. This was it. Now that I have experience, I will be in the market for one with more ventilation, MIPS, and the same or less cushioning - yes, I know, at the cost of 2-3x more.TIP: if you don't need MIPS, this model looks the same as the Bell Servo at almost half the cost ($60-75), but someone said the Podium might also be lighter and with different internals.TIP #2: the cheek cushions felt very tight when new. I either got used to it and don't notice it anymore or they softened/flattened out somehow.UPDATE May, 2023: I have tried on the lightest models for 2023 and am now deciding between the IXS trigger FF MIPS and Bell Super Air R. They are so light and cool - the Podium feels like a brick on your head and traps heat like an oven, but I may save it as a backup or use on downhill parks since it does seem more like a DH helmet: less ventilation but more protection.

I ride a motorized bike, I wanted something lightweight and easy to throw on, I wear glasses so the other motorcycle helmet I had was a pain in the rear and super tight against my cheeks so I very time I open my mouth I have to try hard not to bite my cheeks, when I put on my glasses they would move with the helmet rather than my face, so it would make things look awkward, this helmet however, changes everything, it’s super light weight, easy to put on, I have full range of movement, it’s super breathable, and it covers the face, 2 gripes I have is that the visor kind of awkwardly flips up and doesn’t click rather it kind of comes back down cuz it’s just on there, and the other thing is that a drop down visor would be nice at least to cover the eyes because it looks like of silly without shades or goggles, if it had these then it would be the perfect helmet, but it’s enough as it is, good price point with mips too

Muy buen producto. Se siente uno protegido. No pesa tanto como parecería por el tamaño. No acalora

When it comes to safety, it’s not something you want to skimp on. But this helmet offers excellent value for your money. The quality is top-notch, it feels great, and it fits perfectly. The MIPS technology is a must-have for added protection. Plus, it’s breathable with plenty of ventilation, I've been riding in 90-degree heat, and it stays cool inside. I’m really impressed with it so far!
