Why do mountain bike helmets have visors?

Mountain bike helmets have visors to shield your eyes from sun, trail debris, and other elements. Unlike road helmets, MTB helmet visors give you added coverage for unpredictable terrain and even the occasional low-hanging obstacles that may cross your path.

Are mountain bike helmets different from road ones?

Yes, MTB helmets have external visors to help keep the sun (and the occasional stray tree branch) out of your eyes. Some visors can also be adjusted up for more visibility when you’re in your downhill stance. Mountain bike helmets have more coverage at the sides and rear as the chances of impacting more areas of the head on uneven surfaces can be greater while mountain biking.

How should a mountain bike helmet fit?

A mountain bike helmet should sit level on your head, about an inch above your eyebrows, without tilting forward or backward. It should feel snug but not too tight, with the chin strap forming a “V” around your ears and leaving space for two fingers under your chin when fastened. Use the adjustment dial for a secure, comfortable fit that stays in place on rough trails. Learn more.

How to choose a mountain bike helmet

Choose a mountain bike helmet based on your riding style and terrain. Look for features like Mips® protection for added rotational impact protection, ample ventilation to stay cool, and a secure fit system for all-day comfort. Consider whether you need a half-shell for trail riding or a full-face MTB helmet for more aggressive downhill runs that tend to require added protection.
