Air Node is a super light and slim system that has been disguised as padding and is not noticeable until it is needed. It upholds all Mips standards and is a part of the reason the Rail Helmet received a five-star rating from Virginia Tech.
Mips Air is a security system that reduces the rotational forces that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain during impact or a crash while designed to be as light as possible The technology in Mips Air has been built into the helmet's padding and allows it to move 10-15 mm in relation to the energy-absorbing layer This relative movement can occur in any direction, thanks to a low-friction-treated polycarbonate frame kept in place by specially designed fasteners By integrating the system into the padding, it is as light as possible and therefore provides a minimal increase in the helmet's weight

An improper fit on a helmet can be a distraction and cause unwanted fatigue on a ride. The new Rail Helmet has moved towards a more round fit as opposed to an oval fit. Our approach is that you can get an oval head in a round helmet, but it is hard to get a round head in an oval helmet.
Size Range: S (51-55cm), M (55-59cm), L (59-63) Sizing Recommendations: Size down from the previous generation if between two sizes Comes with 8mm padding (6mm and 10mm padding sold separately)

We didn't stop with FIDLOCK, however We redesigned our strap adjusters to be lightweight, usable, and comfortable It might seem like a small detail, but it goes a long way in the comfort and safety of the helmet

We see more and more helmets have rigid visors, but the Rail Helmet still incorporates an adjustable visor You would never find a top motocross helmet with a rigid visor, so why should your mountain bike helmet have one?
3-Position adjustable visor
The visor can pop out and be replaced if needed Color matched visor
