This open face is clearly aimed at aggressive trail, all mountain and enduro riding. Two of our best ambassadors, Fabien Barel and Florian Nicolai met on their favorite trails in the French Alps Maritimes, to show you how to use it. But please accept in advance our apologies for one missing part, as if the helmet has got all the functions and safety features, it will not make you ride like these two riders, it is not delivered with a magical instructions manual.

The Endur-O-Matic has been the statement helmet of our brand since 2009, the one that everything stemmed from.

It came as a real bombshell at a time when MTB helmet production held no surprises. It made a huge impression on a generation of MTB riders, but the time has now come for it to get a facelift, probably even some major surgery in certain aspects. Of course it retains some of the lines and codes of its famous big brother, but also plenty of enhancements aimed at making this helmet able to take on the challenges that face any real MTB rider.

100% new, the 2016 Endur-O-Matic 2 offers more protection, more ventilation and comfort, more eco friendliness, but remains as classy and unique as always.
