The Wild Card The XR Spherical breaks the industry mold of what's to be expected in a road helmet and the rider wearing it. Instead of achieving high performance solely on pavement, we've designed a deep coverage, multi-faceted helmet that performs and protects beyond the tarmac and suits anyone looking to push their limits. As the demands of riders increase, so does the need for all-day comfort and safety. The XR Spherical offers Spherical Technology™ powered by MIPS. This proprietary tech features a ball-and-socket design that helps redirect impact forces away from the brain, allowing the outer liner to rotate around the inner liner during a crash. Because of the channels inside the dual-density EPS shell, the XR Spherical achieves superior sweat management, ventilation, and weight reduction like never before—all without compromising energy management. Your road conditions and tastes may change, but this helmet's performance won't. From deep road to dirt to in-between, the XR Spherical is your wild card—providing deep coverage and our most advanced technology for whatever you want to tackle on two wheels.
- Spherical Technology + MIPS: Spherical Technology’s Ball-and-Socket design, powered by Mips, helps redirect impact forces away by allowing the outer liner to rotate around the inner liner during a crash. Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to help reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts.
- Float Fit and Fidlock Buckle: A minimalist, lightweight fit system with an easy-to-turn rubber overmolded dial for adjustments (integrated with Mips). Fidlock is an easy-to-use magnetic buckle. This time-saving feature slides closed laterally for an effortless, secure fit.
- Progressive Layering, Overbrow Ventilation, and Ionic+ Padding: The process of engineering a helmet liner with variable EPS foam densities to better manage the transfer of energies after some impacts. Overbrow Ventilation features intake ports on the brow of the helmet to usher in cool air and push it through the air-channel matrix for full-head ventilation. Quick-drying interior padding helps manage sweat.
- No-Twist Tri-Glides, Sweat Guide, and Eyewear Storage: Quick-adjust fasteners that help keep straps flat and properly positioned. Sweat Guide pad design pulls moisture away from the brow pad and away from eyewear. Easily stash your glasses using the integrated helmet notches.
