HELMETS
Fox Motocross Helmets – MX Helmets for Every Rider
The helmets category at Foxracing.si brings together Fox motocross helmets for riding on the track, in the sand and on enduro trails. Here you will find full-face MX helmets for adults and younger riders, from lightweight entry-level models to top-tier competition helmets, all made by Fox. Whether you ride your first gate drop or race every weekend, a helmet is the single most important piece of protective gear you will buy.
What you will find in this category
- Adult motocross helmets – classic off-road full-face design with a peak, an open chin bar and a wide eye port for goggles, built for motocross, enduro and free riding.
- Youth MX helmets – smaller shells and lighter constructions made specifically for children's head sizes and neck strength, not simply downsized adult helmets.
- Different shell constructions – injection-moulded polymer shells for everyday riding and training, and composite or carbon shells for lower weight and race-day use.
- Helmets with rotational impact systems – models using energy-management liners designed to reduce rotational forces in an angled impact.

How to choose a motocross helmet
Size and fit
Measure your head circumference roughly 2 cm above the eyebrows with a soft tape and compare it to the size chart of the model you like. A correctly fitted helmet sits snugly on the cheeks and forehead, does not rotate when you shake your head, and leaves no pressure points after 15 minutes of wear.
Safety certification
Check which standard the helmet is homologated to – in Europe an ECE approval is required for road and most competition use. The certification label is normally found on the chin strap or inside the shell.
Shell material and weight
Polymer shells are hard-wearing and budget-friendly; composite and carbon shells save weight, which reduces neck fatigue over long motos. Multiple shell sizes across the size range mean a small helmet is not simply a big shell with thicker padding.
Ventilation and liner
Look for a generous number of intake and exhaust ports if you ride in hot weather or sandy conditions. A removable, washable and moisture-wicking liner keeps the helmet fresh and lets you fine-tune fit with different cheek pad thicknesses.
Goggle compatibility and extras
Make sure the eye port fits your goggles without gaps at the nose or temples. Useful details include an adjustable peak, a double-D or micrometric chin strap, emergency-release cheek pads and a neck brace-friendly shell shape.
Brands
This category is dedicated entirely to Fox, whose motocross helmet families – including the V1, V2 and V3 lines – cover everything from first-time riders to experienced racers.
FAQ
How do I know my motocross helmet size?
Measure the circumference of your head at its widest point and match it to the manufacturer's size chart. If you fall between two sizes, choose the tighter one, as the padding will settle slightly with use.
Can I use a motocross helmet on the road?
Only if it carries a valid ECE homologation for road use. MX helmets have no visor, so goggles are always required, and the peak can catch the wind at higher speeds.
When should a helmet be replaced?
Replace any helmet after a significant impact, even if there is no visible damage, because the liner is designed to absorb energy only once. Manufacturers generally recommend replacing a helmet around five years after first use.
Are youth helmets really different?
Yes. Youth MX helmets use smaller shells and lighter constructions suited to a child's head size and neck strength, so an adult helmet in a small size is not a substitute.
Take your time comparing sizes, shell constructions and ventilation, and pick the Fox helmet that fits your riding and your head best.
