The Fox Racing V3 Motocross Helmet

June 6, 2018

Hey, everyone! I thought I’d mix things up a bit and cover a motocross helmet since I’ve not had a good look at one in a while. So I decided to take a look at, what is in my opinion, one the most interesting MX lids out there- The Fox Racing V3 Motocross Helmet.

The Fox V3 MX Helmet is one of the more interesting MX helmets I’ve ever come across because it’s without a doubt one of the safest I’ve ever seen, there’s so much thought and protective technology crammed into the V3 that just reading this helmet’s CV of features makes me trust it with my noggin.

It really is a great example of innovative Motocross helmets with the different materials used in it’s construction combined with the other features that have been included, one of which I’ve never seen in a helmet before coming cross this off-road gem of a bike lid. Usually I’d save the best and newest stuff for last but I think I’ll lead with it this time.

The Fox Racing V3 features an MVRS – Magnetic Visor Release System. It’s system that is exclusive to Fox and it’s pretty interesting stuff, the MVRS removes the need for screws to keep the visor peak in place and instead uses magnets, if the name didn’t give that away. This is so that in the event of a crash, the visor is released from the helmet to help prevent further injury but is still strong enough to stay in place to protect the wearer while they’re still riding. This may seem like a weird feature to some but it has the potential to reduce the damage a rider can suffer in a crash, particularly helping the neck to not bend the wrong way in a more front-facing impact.

Another really cool safety feature of this helmet is something I’ve come across before- the helmet has MIPS installed. MIPS is a Multi-Directional Impact Protection System designed to reduce brain trauma in more angled or rotational impacts by mimicking the same protective concept as the fluid that surrounds the brain inside the skull. It does that by using a platform inside the helmet that shifts slightly and in a crash and this platform works to reduce the rotational speeds of the head inside the helmet. Very clever stuff that I’ve only really seen in Bell Helmets before.

The Shell it’s self is made of a multi-composite material and comes in 4 different shell sizes with 4 different EPS sizes. So you can get a helmet that fits you perfectly without any unnecessary padding that makes your head look bigger than it really is.

The padding inside the helmet is worth talking about too. It’s a DriLex comfort liner that is really soft, really comfortable and breathes really well. It’s also really good at wicking away moisture to keep you comfortable on hotter rides and keep sweating from becoming an issue.

Also to help with sweating from becoming an issue- the V3 Helmet has some really great ventilation. 14 intakes that allow nice, cool air to flow in and 4 exhaust vents to let all the heated old air out.

And you’re spoiled for choice on colours and graphics too. The V3 comes in different graphics such as the Draftr, Preest, Kustm and Matte Carbon with lots of colour variants to choose from. So there’s surely something to suit your kit. If not- well there are also matching Fox Racing kits available!

Thanks for reading everyone! Until next time!

From £96.95 the kids will love their new kit and love looking like a pro.

The Adult Fox 180 Motocross Kits, look just as great as the kids kits. They’ve still got all of the bright colours and cool designs but the adults do have a bit more of a selection to choose from. They’re comfy, breathe very well and they’ve got plenty of give so they can be worn with armour.

April 8, 2018

NEW! The LS2 MX470 Subverter!

March 5, 2018

Hey everyone! Not had a look at a Motocross Helmet in a while but I saw a gem of an MX lid in our new arrivals so I thought I’d have a good look at it- the LS2 MX470 Subverter Motocross Helmet is a very cool and interesting bit of kit.

The Subverter caught my attention for a few reasons. The materials, the features, it’s price range and the number of graphics options it’s available in.

So I’ll start with the materials, the shell material to be specific. It’s not just made of a normal, quality thermoplastic which already does the job for most MXers that come to us for a lid. It’s made from a KPA, a Kinetic Polymer Alloy, which is LS2’s blend of different types of thermoplastics and other materials that results in a shell that is light weight, disperses impact energy well and has great penetration resistance.

The shape of the shell makes the helmet a good fit for people with a more oval shaped head. And the shell comes in three sizes that they use different size padding with inside, so you’ll be able to get a helmet that’s a good size for you and not unnecessarily large.

The padding inside the helmet caught my eye because of how unique and colourful it is. With all those colours it’s certainly more interesting to look at when you’re putting it on but I suppose it could help people who find putting the padding back into a helmet a bit confusing with a bit of colour association. If anything, at least you’ll be able to tell when your padding is getting a bit grimey.

In which case- the padding is fully removable, so you can throw it all into a pillow case on a normal wash then let it drip dry to have a fresh helmet again. The fabrics in the padding aren’t just interesting colours either, they’re a hypoallergenic material that also wicks moisture away to keep you comfortable in the heat.

Speaking of heat- the LS2 MX470 Subverter features some impressive ventillation. With vents on the mouth guard, the brow, over the head and plenty of exhaust vents on the back- I imagine it would be a challenge for anyone to complain about being too hot in one of these.

The chin strap is reinforced and features a double D-ring fastener, keeping your lid nice and secure on your head while you’re speeding over muddy bumps and uneven terrain. Just in case you do get into an accident- the Subverter has one of the best ideas ever introduced to modern helmets. The LS2 MX470 Subverter’s cheek padding has an Emergency Release System. This allows paramedics to pull out the cheek pads easily so that they can remove the helmet from the wearer without risking further injury.

The LS2 MX470 is available in three solid colours and six different graphics options, with plenty of colours in there to help you match with your bike and stand out from the competition. The solid versions of the Subverter are priced at £149 and the graphics versions of the helmet are priced at £179 which puts this great quality helmet in a comfortable, affordable, sub-£200 price range. [Prices accurate on 06/02/18]

So if you’re interested in getting yourself a new MX lid either to get into the sport, replace an old helmet or even just grabbing a spare- the LS2 MX 470 Subverter is definitely a worthy choice and well worth a go. thanks for reading, everyone! Until next time!
