Just took the biggest crash I've had in 13 years of mtn biking. My head took most of the impact. I would be in the hospital or dead if I wasn't wearing a helmet. But I had a Speedframe Pro helmet on that I have worn for at least a year. After the crash I had 0 symptoms of concussion. Never lost consciousness. Just a tiny bruise on my forehead where the initial impact happened. I thought $190 was probably overpaying for a helmet when I first bought it, but I liked the look and comfort of the Speedframe so I justified the price. Now I'm sold on the protection being second to none and $190 for a helmet that can do what it did on a crash as big as mine now seems cheap compared to the cost of what less protection would have led to. I'm getting the same helmet in the new colorway, and I'm stoked to get back on my bike.... as soon as my hip and shoulder heal up enough.

Hey John I wish you a speedy recovery. I full agree with you as well because I broke my collar bone in 2021 with the same helmet from the video. I smashed my head into a rock and I wouldn’t have survived if it wasn’t for the speedframe pro. It took me about 2 months for my collar bone to heal where I could ride but at least my head didn’t take the same hit. Heal up soon so you can get back on the trail!

Compare it to the A3, it has the magnet, it also has a sweat gutter so no sweat dripping on the glasses, the visor has multi positions, visor even comes down low enough to use it, lots of extras like, padding, 2 more sweat drip gutters, decals..

My riding buddy just got the A3. I still prefer the oval shape of the fox over the rounder A2/A3. The fox visor is super adjustable as well and it’s very long compared to my a2. The a3 covers the cerebral cortex much better than the A2.

@@spicymountainbike Thanks for the reply. And you 100% have the best colorway! I don't like the new one's on the site with the small fox logo. I measured my head yesterday and it came to 21.5 inches. The small size of the Fox Speedframe Pro helmet measures 20.1 - 21.7 inches and the Medium measures 21.7 - 23.2 inches. Should I opt for the Small or the Medium? I will be buying the same colorway you have but I will have to purchase via eBay since it's discontinued everywhere else. Only bad thing is the seller doesn't accept returns so I'm taking a risk. Thanks in advance if you can give advice. I'm new to this biking thing and haven't had a helmet since I was much younger.

Thanks dude I appreciate it. Well you don’t want too much coverage because it starts to feel goofy on the head. I have a fox dropframe helmet but it just doesn’t feel right after a while. It just feels a little too big and hot. Just another note is that I broke my collar bone while wearing the fox speedframe pro last year and it really cushioned my head well on impact. I don’t have any reason to look elsewhere after that for a different brand. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and it does it while staying light on the head and also looks good.
