Why We Like The Speedframe MIPS Pro Helmet
The Speedframe Pro is a helmet you forget about while wearing it, and that’s why it’s one of our favorites. The safety conscious construction helps us focus on the next feature instead of the next tree. With MIPS technology we won’t be subject to the same forces the helmet encounters on the ground and the large ventilation ports means plenty of airflow to keep our head cool and collected.
- Comfortable, light, and safe for your next mountain-biking adventure
- MIPS Technology reduces impact forces in the event of a crash
- Goggle compatible for park versatility
- Washable and odor resistant liner to keep it clean and fresh
- Large front and rear vents promote airflow
- 360° adjustment dial to ensure a perfect fit

I am solidly a Medium per Fox sizing chart and wear M in other brands (e.g., Smith) too, and this lid fits very well. This is my first fuller coverage helmet (and first MIPS) and I have found it to be quite comfortable and lightweight. I didn't think I would care about the fidlock buckle, but it is nice to have and makes on/off easier when wearing gloves. Haven't gone out on any super long rides, but I can't see it irritating me or being uncomfortable in any way. On compatibility with glasses: I ride with cheap Amazon glasses. The arms of the glasses are quite long and did hit the helmet behind the ear. It didn't cause major problems, but because the glasses are so cheap and came with extra arms, I lopped off the last 1cm or so with wirecutters and there is no interference anymore. If you have nicer glasses I would check compatibility before you head out on trail. I have found it possible to stash the glasses under the visor in such a way that they stay securely when I'm not wearing them, but it's a little fiddly and tough to do while pedaling.

Fantastic weight, coverage, and comfort. Had a hard time finding a helmet and tried several brands. My head measures a 59.5 cm, and ordered the large. Fit is great, I still need to crank it down a bit so not maxed out on the size but definitely doesn’t feel sloppy/too big. I’m having less sweat dripping down into my eyes with this helmet than I have in the past which is an added bonus. It breathes super well, easy to operate visor, buckle, and tightening. Really happy with this helmet!

Sizing is frustrating

Helmet seems okay but Fox sizing design and BC needs to improve sizing listing. Backcountry -- sizing for the speedframe is not in the sizing chart button (other Fox model helmets are) so I had to go elsewhere to get the proper size chart. Fox -- other helmet makers design their sizes to overlap so medium ends at 58cm and large starts at 57cm. For speedframe 59cm is the upper end of M and lower end of L, which is exactly what my head measured. I thought there'd be some wiggle room but nope, large was just a bit loose with my hair short. If I was a couple weeks late on my haircut the L might fit but then the M won't! Overlap your size ranges by 1cm and everyone can find a helmet size that works. If your head measures in middle of their sizing range, go for it!

Using this as my primary helmet, riding a lot in hot weather. The helmet is very comfortable in hot weather, never making it feel hot. It’s also very light, and I don’t really notice wearing it. I’ve used it with different sunglasses, and all worked well.

Good Helmet, Cheap Plastic

Everything about this helmet is great and more comfortable than my TroyLee. But I am having to get the retention system replaced for the second time. The first time I thought is was a fluke in Moab but the knob just unscrewed itself and came off somewhere, no fall. You can still adjust but its a pain. After several emails back and forth to Fox and Backcountry during COVID to get a replacement part, just the knob, they wanted me to send in the entire helmet back. As you can see the large are all sold out so no helmet for me if I went this route. Finally they, Fox, agreed to just send a new retention system which is definitely cheaper for them anyway and in stock. Unfortunately, about 5-10 rides down the road, it happened again this time I found the knob in the back of my shirt and saw how the plastic broke inside where the tiny screw threads into. Again, no fall or maxing out the adjustments, it just gave under what ever conditions were that day, 80 degrees and clear in Colorado. Having to go through this process all over again now. It is a very comfortable helmet at a great price, but damn the cheap plastic on the back. If you purchase this, go to the Fox website and order a new retention system for spare parts.

Apex Helmetus! All-Mtn/All-arounder, and marked improvement over standard Speedframe. Same dapper visage, even more intense smolder. Blowing away my expectations all the time, and I am constantly reflecting positively on my decision to buy this helmet. 🙃 Air flow is incomparable and it can be easy to forget youre wearing the Spdframe Pro, except for that confidence eminating from the MIPS lining which is unshakeable. The White model really nails down my concrete Raceface gear, makes me feel very paragon.
