Product Information

Full details

The Fox Proframe Solid Full Face Mountain Bike Helmet is designed for aggressive trail, enduro, and all-mountain riders seeking robust protection without sacrificing ventilation. Its key benefit is combining downhill-certified full-face safety with exceptional airflow for demanding climbs and descents. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for riders engaged in high-intensity mountain biking disciplines where a full-face helmet is warranted.

FAQs

Is this helmet suitable for everyday trail riding?

While the Proframe offers excellent ventilation for a full-face helmet, its primary design is for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding. For less intense trail riding, an open-face helmet might be more appropriate depending on your needs and comfort preference.

How do I clean the helmet?

Clean the helmet with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure it's dry before storing.

What is the Mips Protection System?

Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to reduce rotational forces transmitted to the brain from angled impacts to the head.

Can I use this helmet for e-biking?

Yes, the Fox Proframe Solid meets the NTA-8776 E-bike helmet certification standard, making it suitable for e-bike use.

Does the helmet come with an action camera mount?

Yes, it includes a removable under-visor mount for action cameras like GoPro.

What is the warranty period for this helmet?

Please refer to the manufacturer's official documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Fox. A proper fit means the helmet is snug, covers your forehead without obstructing vision, and doesn't move excessively when you shake your head. The included extra pads can help fine-tune the fit.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose

Utilize the included additional pad set to customize the fit. Swap out pads at key contact points to achieve a snug yet comfortable feel.

Visor adjustment is difficult

Ensure you are using the correct amount of force. The visor may be stiff initially; repeated adjustments can loosen it. Avoid forcing it excessively to prevent damage.

Chin strap feels uncomfortable

Readjust the chin strap for a snug fit that doesn't restrict breathing or movement. Ensure the buckle is properly seated.

Action camera mount is loose

Confirm the mount is correctly seated and snapped into place under the visor. Ensure the camera is securely attached to the mount.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The helmet comes with an additional pad set. To achieve a custom fit, select the pads that provide snug, comfortable contact points around your head without excessive pressure. Ensure the chin strap is adjusted so it is snug but does not restrict breathing or movement.

Compatibility: The visor is designed to accommodate most standard mountain bike goggles. The integrated under-visor mount is compatible with most GoPro-style action cameras. The helmet meets both downhill MTB and E-bike certification standards.

Care: Clean the helmet using a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can degrade the helmet's materials. Ensure the helmet is completely dry before storing. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or fraying of straps. If the helmet has been involved in a significant impact, it should be replaced.
