Vital MTB Weekly Photo Comp - Presented by iXS

UPDATE: The two-horse race turned into a victory for Utkarsh Rao and his funky night shot, much to the delight of Vital member MadMaxFlexin, this week's lucky voter. Both winners will each receive the Cedric Gracia edition Xult cross-over fullface helmet from iXS!

A cross over full face - developed and designed for downhill racing and riding. It features a molded aeration system that provides consistent airflow through the helmet and therefore crosses over towards the needs of enduro style riding and racing. The special FRPTM (fiber reinforced polymer) shell is designed to increase strength while also reducing overall weight of the helmet. The FRP minimizes the shell volume which helps to reduce rotational force while helping to prevent severe severe concussions in the event of an impact. An ergonomic padding system ensures comfort without inhibiting the air flow using high-tech anti-bacterial Coolmax material that wicks moisture away from skin to keep you dry and comfortable. Optimized cheek pads ensure a perfect fit while the emergency release pad system allows for easy removability in the event of an emergency. The Xult helmet series meets the European EN1078 and American ASTM DH as well as C.P.S.C standards, and weighs in at +/- 1100g.
