FOX Racing Dropframe Bicycle Helmets

The Fox Dropframe Mips is a full-coverage open-face mountain bike helmet designed for trail and enduro riding, providing more coverage around the head, ears, and jaw than a traditional open-face helmet while maintaining airflow through multiple intake and exhaust vents.

Best for

• Trail and enduro mountain biking
• Riders looking for more coverage than a traditional open-face MTB helmet
• Riders who want additional protection around the ears and jaw without using a full-face helmet
• Technical trail riding where ventilation and increased coverage are important
• Riders who want Mips rotational impact protection

Not ideal for

• Downhill or riding situations requiring a full-face helmet with a chin bar
• Riders looking for maximum facial protection
• Road cycling where a lightweight road-specific helmet may be preferred
• Riders who prefer a traditional low-coverage open-face helmet

What this product does

The Dropframe Mips provides expanded coverage compared with a conventional open-face mountain bike helmet. Its 3/4 design extends protection around the head, ears, and jaw while leaving the face open for improved airflow and visibility.

The helmet combines Mips rotational impact protection with a dual-density Varizorb EPS liner. The liner uses different foam densities to help spread impact forces across a wider area, while the ventilation system uses eight intake vents and seven exhaust vents to move air through the helmet during demanding rides.

Protection & Safety

• Mips®: Integrated rotational impact protection system designed to help reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain during certain impacts.
• Dual-Density Varizorb™ EPS: Uses different EPS densities to help distribute impact forces across a wider area.
• Full-Coverage 3/4 Design: Provides more coverage around the head, ears, and jaw than a traditional open-face helmet.
• Fixed Visor: Positioned to help channel airflow into the helmet's intake vents.

Ventilation

• 8 Intake Vents: Large Big Bore vents allow air to enter the helmet.
• 7 Exhaust Vents: Help release warm air and moisture from inside the helmet.
• Airflow-Optimized Visor: The fixed visor is positioned to direct airflow toward the intake vents.

Fit & Comfort

• Removable Liner: Anti-microbial and moisture-wicking liner can be removed for cleaning.
• Additional Fit Pads: Included pads allow the fit to be customized for improved comfort and security.
• Moisture Management: Moisture-wicking materials help manage sweat during extended rides.
