From Backcountry
For Dissident 2, we collaborated with powerhouse competitors, Loc Bruni and Finn Iles, to design a helmet that would meet the highest demands of downhill mountain bike racing, in terms of confidence, a modern-styled fit, and breathability. With five strategically placed EPS foam inserts, were able to tune for higher and lower density foam based on where it is being configured inside the helmetallowing us to maintain a light weight and still manage energy. The use of a softer foam density allows more energy to be absorbed in an impact, transferring less to the rider.
