Product Information
Full details
The FOX Proframe Helmet is designed for committed adult mountain bikers, offering specialized full-face protection for all-mountain riding and enduro racing. Its key benefit is the integration of Mips® technology within a superlight shell, providing enhanced safety and confidence on challenging trails. A potential consideration is its specialized design, which may be more protection than needed for casual trail riding. Key features include Mips® protection, a 3-position adjustable visor, integrated GoPro mount, and improved ventilation.

FAQs
What is Mips® and how does it work?
Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety technology integrated into the helmet. It's designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain during angled impacts, by allowing a sliding movement of about 10-15mm between the helmet and the head.
Is this helmet suitable for general trail riding?
The Proframe is designed for aggressive all-mountain and enduro riding. While it offers superior protection, it may be more coverage than typically needed for casual trail riding. For lighter use, consider your specific needs.
Can I wear glasses with this helmet?
Yes, the 3-position adjustable visor can be positioned to accommodate most standard MTB goggles. You may need to experiment with visor positions to find the best fit with your eyewear.
How do I clean the helmet?
Clean the exterior with mild soap and water and a soft cloth. The removable interior pads can be hand-washed separately with cold water and mild soap, then air-dried.
What is the ASTM-F1952 certification?
This is a safety standard specifically for downhill mountain biking helmets, ensuring a high level of protection for demanding descents.
Does the helmet come with a GoPro mount?
Yes, the Proframe helmet includes a removable under-visor GoPro mount.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Utilize the included additional pad set to customize the fit. The helmet should feel snug around your head without causing discomfort or pressure points, and should not move excessively when you shake your head.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the fit using the included additional pad set. Ensure pads are correctly placed and that the helmet sits level on your head without excessive pressure points.
Visor is difficult to adjust or stays loose.
Check that the adjustment screws are clean and not obstructed. Gently tighten the screws on both sides to secure the visor in the desired position. Do not overtighten.
GoPro mount is unstable.
Ensure the mount is correctly seated and secured to the visor. If the issue persists, consider using a different mounting solution.
Reduced ventilation in hot conditions.
Ensure all vents are clear of debris. While designed for increased airflow, full-face helmets inherently offer less ventilation than open-face designs. Plan rides for cooler parts of the day or take more frequent breaks.
