The Smith Forefront 3 MIPS bike helmet—from fast singletrack to technical descents—takes trail riding to a whole new level. Thanks to its internal roll cage, extended nape coverage, and full KOROYD® lining, it offers even better protection from the front, back, and sides. Rotational impact absorption is handled by the integrated Mips® Air Node system, which is built directly into the padding—making the helmet not only safer but also more comfortable. The newly designed ventilation system increases airflow by 25% compared to the previous generation. Twenty vents, combined with the AirEvac™ system, effectively draw warm air out of the helmet and ensure that your goggles don’t fog up while riding—whether you’re using classic MTB goggles or sunglasses. The BOA® Fit System allows for precise and easy one-handed helmet adjustment. You can adjust the visor as needed, and if you take off your goggles during a hike, you can easily store them in the integrated slots at the front or back—they stay in place and are always ready to put on.
