TRAIL HELMET GROUP TEST • A helmet is the only mandatory piece of safety equipment you need to ride a bike in Australia. It might be different for some events, but the general thinking is our heads are best protected when we’re moving faster than we can run. Helmets have progressed a long way in terms of coverage, ventilation, fit, relative comfort and of course – increased protection. It pays to get your helmet right in terms of fit and suitability for use. We put 15 leading trail helmets to test.
