Which Speedframe helmet is best for trail riding?
All Speedframe helmets are designed for trail riding, but the choice depends on intensity. Speedframe RS is best for aggressive riding and higher speeds, Speedframe Pro for all-day trail tours, and Speedframe for recreational trail riding.
2. What is the difference between Speedframe RS, Speedframe Pro and Speedframe?
The difference is in the level of protection, weight, and additional features. Speedframe RS offers the highest level of protection and is intended for the most demanding riders, the Pro version combines low weight and comfort, while the 5050 model offers the best price-to-performance ratio.
Is Speedframe RS suitable for e-MTB?
Yes. Speedframe RS meets the standard NTA-8776, This means that it is also certified for e-MTB riding at higher speeds and greater loads.
What does Mips mean in MTB helmets?
Mips is a protective system that reduces rotational forces during a fall. These forces are a common cause of brain injuries, which is why Mips significantly contributes to greater safety of MTB helmets, especially during trail and enduro riding.
5. Which Mips system is the best?
Mips® Integra Split (Speedframe RS) is the most advanced, as it combines multi-layer protection and better helmet integration. Mips® Air Node (Speedframe Pro) is lighter and more ventilated, while classic Mips (Speedframe 5050) offers reliable basic protection.
6. How do I choose the right size Speedframe helmet?
Measure the head circumference above the eyebrows and choose the appropriate size (S, M, or L). The adjustment systems allow for fine tuning, but the basic size must always match the head circumference.
7. Can I wear glasses while driving in a Speedframe helmet?
Yes. All Speedframe models allow the use of sunglasses and have integrated storage space for glasses during climbs or breaks.
8. How long can I use an MTB helmet?
It is recommended to replace the helmet every 3–5 years or immediately after a significant fall, even if there are no visible damages. Materials lose their protective properties over time.
9. How do I properly maintain my Speedframe helmet?
The Notranjo hat should be regularly hand washed, stored in a dry place, and avoid aerosol sprays such as sunscreen and insect repellents, as they can damage the surface and materials.
