Yep, Seth here. I guess I should have given it a bit more "oomf" when trying to move it. I apologize for the mistake. With this addition, the IXS Trigger FF definitely ranks super high on my personal helmet list. Light, adjustable, tons of venting, and dang good looking. This ticks all the boxes! Unless you are specifically wanting something with MIPS-like tech, I highly recommend this helmet. My head shape tends to be a bit tall and narrow (not round), and this helmet fit like a dream with better coverage for my particular head shape. I am planning on picking up this helmet for my personal use and will update with a more in-depth review after spending more time with it. Cheers, S!
@Jenson USA - heads up, I just got an email from IXS that they now make the Trigger FF with MIPS for 2021 and only retails $30 more than the 2020 version with out MIPS.
It is also worth mentioning that FOX has three sets of sponge inserts to make the fitting better. So you do not have eg. BOA but you can regulate the size by changing the pading
I love my IXS Trigger FF. I find myself using it more than I “should” be using a full face, but there are really no penalties. Unbelievably light weight, ultra comfortable because of the dial retention system, Fidlock strap, and breathes like a regular trail helmet. And yes, the visor is a little stiff at first to flip up for goggles, but wears in after just a few rides.
Nice brief run through, but maybe you could have mentioned the dual density foam of the TLD Stage. That really interests me after suffering concussion from a Poc Tectal Race Spin with no visible damage to the helmet. I think multi density foams will be something we see a lot more of in more helmets, if indeed it works as well I hope it does.
Yep, we finished editing before we realized this. Added a bit in the description and comments, but too late to update the video. Just needed to push a bit harder. hahahaha!
The sad thing is that sometimes people laugh at you that you wear a helmet. In my town,mountain biking is a very popular sport but only me and some guys wear helmets..
I think it's a good idea to use a full face helmet anytime you are riding anything. I just placed an order for the 100% Trajecta in red and white because I'm getting and electric unicycle, the MTen3 and I think I'll like that helmet. I have invested a lot of time and money into my brain and I really don't want to take a fall and smash my face or head on the street, so while half helmets offer some protection a full face helmet is better. And I like the added protection of the mips like systems... Yeah you probably will not die if you crash with a half helmet but you may knock out some teeth or brake your jaw, and that can't be fun. Same thing goes for doing anything at speed without pads, protection is used for a reason. I see people riding bikes with a typical bike helmet and around here some folks ride completivlly, but they don't wear a full face helmet for the sake of speed, but again if you hit something at even 10 mph that can mess you up. Just things I consider.
everything around 64 cm is to small for me, big head plus dreads TLD D3 goes up to 65 not sure if it fits choices are slim for me any advice anyone? :D
You can try losing some weight.. don't get me wrong, I'm not here to mock or something, but if you are overweight or something, it will actually help with that.
Hey, so I ride a gravel bike on both road and off road. I recently crashed on a paved parkway trail face first into a fence. Would you recommend a full face helmet for riding on the road? Would it inhibit my peripheral vision and hearing? I want to be safe as possible, but not sacrifice any other senses
The Fox helmet is crap. I was looking for a new helmet and during my search I have seen multiple cases of bad quality control and bad customer service. Such a shame when good companies sell out..
@@nathandroger3076 I said there were a few cases of bad quality control (helmets coming apart at the seams and/or breaking during regular use) which were then not handled correctly by Fox's customer service. With a premium brand like Fox you'd expect them to take care of you in case of a faulty product, wouldn't you? So yes, customer service certainly matters especially with high end products such as this helmet.
Yep, we were stoked to get the MIPS ones. Seth is now riding a MIPS version and loves it. We also hear that we can expect a Virginia Tech rating coming soon. The Smith is a fantastic helmet, as well.
The Leatt DBX 4.0 is a rad Helmet and definitely one we considered for this video. Their Turbine technology works well and it meets the ATSM-1952 certification. If it's one you're considering you won't be disappointed. Keep Pedaling!
Just as a heads up, the Trigger FF does in fact have a movable visor that will fit some goggles. Keep Pedaling!

Hi. I’m right in the cross over between the two sizes for the Trigger. 58cm circumference. Should I go for the larger or smaller size?
@@jensonusabicycles is it more Breathable than the stage? Or there is a small difference?

Love that IXS mag lock feature - Troy Lee always has the best colors and patterns - wish i could fuse those 2 features into a convertible model
You can now get the IXS Trigger FF with MIPS for about $50 more than the standard pricing. Great comparison!

Patrick Traylor hey what size did you get and what is your head circumference?
You should check out the Kali invader the amount of vents it has makes it incredibly cool on the head in the summer just as breathable as a half shell
I love this helmet, it does its job. I'm happy with the price/quality.

Dual density foams show a lot of promise and we're excited to see more research and testing on their effectiveness in protecting our brains.
IXS FF visor has position for goggles. Best helmet I have testet and now ridden two months.
I was sold on the TLD Stage but now i’m double guessing about the Giro Switchblade hahaha. Man it’s so hard picking a helmet.
Im planning to buy ixs trigger ff. Thank you for the review..
Goood choice. I have one and it's as light as my half shell
I'll take a full face helmet any time, safety first and it looks alot better than any other helmet 🔥
Great review! Looking to buy a FF shortly 👍🏼
The IXS visor moves up for goggles and back down. I got mine today and already tried visor,
Yep, we finished editing before we realized this. Added a bit in the description and comments, but too late to update the video. Just needed to push a bit harder. hahahaha!
I go for IXS TRIGGER FF.
the TLD does come with a lot of extra pads to customize the fit
Tip: Do not cheap out on protective equipment, Yes it may be expensive but it will be cheaper than your hospital bill
Not of you live in anywhere which isn’t the USA
Great test and explanations. I enjoyed your video
i think im gonna go with the troy lee, too bad its so expensive
I have the proframe ,it’s sick🤟
The sad thing is that sometimes people laugh at you that you wear a helmet. In my town,mountain biking is a very popular sport but only me and some guys wear helmets..
If they’re not paying for your medical bills, their opinions can go in the trash.
Should i use the full helmet for Electric bicycle?

what does bad customer service have to do with the helmet..

I've had a fox rampage for 4 months now, but only used 5-6 times. No complaints so far. It's stuffy and hot, but feels very secure.
Always had problems with fox products falling apart my lauch pro kneepads split in a crash and my mate split his proframe in a crash
2021. Ixs Has MIPS. for me it is between IXS ANd Smith
Yep, we were stoked to get the MIPS ones. Seth is now riding a MIPS version and loves it. We also hear that we can expect a Virginia Tech rating coming soon. The Smith is a fantastic helmet, as well.
Great review! just looking for a ff helmet. Greetings from Tequila´s Land!
The stage fits me weird I got the m\l. I wish it would fit better. It’s in the size range just not for my shape head idk.

And what about Leatt dbx 4.0?
