Offering a dual-certification for downhill (ASTM F1952) and e-bike (NTA 8776) safety standards, this helmet provides top-tier impact protection, though its robust feature set makes it slightly heavier than standard open-face trail helmets.

FAQs

Is this helmet suitable for e-bike riding?

Yes, it is NTA 8776 certified, which is the safety standard specifically developed for e-bikes.

Can I remove the chinbar?

No, the chinbar on the Vanguard Core Mips is fixed and cannot be removed.

How do I know if the MIPS system is working?

The MIPS C2 system is an internal liner; you should be able to feel a slight independent movement of the liner relative to the shell when pushed.

Are the cheek pads washable?

Yes, the cheek pads are removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap.

Does the visor break off during a crash?

Yes, the visor is designed to be flexible and breakaway to help manage impact forces during a crash.

Does this helmet fit all goggles?

The helmet is designed to be highly compatible with most MTB goggles, though fit may vary slightly depending on the specific frame size.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose on the head

Adjust the rear dial fit system and try the thicker set of included cheek pads to increase internal contact.

Fidlock buckle is difficult to close

Ensure no dirt or mud is trapped in the magnetic mechanism; wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Goggles do not sit flush

Adjust the visor angle upward to allow for more clearance between the goggle frame and the brow of the helmet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elite safety ratings including Virginia Tech 5-star
  • Dual-certified for downhill and e-bike standards
  • Excellent ventilation through 24 strategically placed vents
  • Convenient Fidlock magnetic buckle for easy operation
  • High-level facial protection from the fixed chinbar

Cons

  • Heavier than traditional half-shell trail helmets
  • Full-face design may feel restrictive on hot, slow-speed climbs
  • Non-removable chinbar limits versatility compared to convertible models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, experiment with the provided cheek pad thickness options to ensure the helmet sits snugly without creating pressure points. The visor is designed to be flexible; it is intended to break away during an impact to prevent neck injury, so avoid over-tightening the mounting points. For daily care, wipe the outer shell with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. The inner liner and cheek pads are generally removable and should be hand-washed in cool water and air-dried away from direct heat sources. Always inspect the MIPS liner for debris periodically to ensure the slip-plane functions smoothly.
