Mountain Bike Helmets

A mountain bike helmet is your most important piece of gear on the trail. It doesn’t just protect your head in a crash – it also gives you the confidence to take on technical sections and push your limits. Whether you’re heading out for a cross-country ride, an after-work trail loop, an enduro adventure, or a bike park session, the right helmet balances safety with comfort and ventilation.

At BIKE24, you’ll find the full spectrum of mountain biking helmets: from lightweight half-shell helmets with MIPS technology to robust open-face designs and full-face helmets built for maximum protection at high speeds. You’ll also find specially reinforced e-MTB helmets designed to meet the higher demands of motor-assisted riding. That way, you’re well protected wherever the trail takes you.

At BIKE24, our passion for mountain biking shows in every detail – whether you’re looking for a MIPS mountain bike helmet or a more traditional setup.

• Huge selection: From lightweight XC helmets to downhill full-face helmets, you’ll find all the top brands in one place.
• Fast delivery: Your next trail ride won’t wait – and neither do we. Order today, ride tomorrow.
• Expert advice: Our team rides MTB themselves and will gladly help you find the right helmet for your riding style and terrain.

MTB helmets are available in different categories, each designed for specific riding styles and protection needs. Classic half-shell helmets are ideal for cross-country and trail riding, while full-face helmets are essential for gravity-focused disciplines. Modern technologies like MIPS reduce rotational forces in angled impacts and significantly lower the risk of concussions, making a MIPS MTB helmet a popular choice for riders who want added protection. E-MTB helmets offer extended protection for the higher speeds of motor-assisted bikes. This makes it easy to choose the right protection for any discipline and any pace.

• Classic MTB Helmet (Half-Shell): The all-rounder for cross-country, trail, and all-mountain riding. Lightweight, well ventilated, and designed with extended rear coverage and temple protection. Ideal for long rides where weight matters without compromising your safety. Modern models weigh between 250 and 350 grams and feature smart ventilation channels to keep your head cool on tough climbs.
• Full-Face Helmet: Maximum protection for downhill, bike park, and freeride. Encloses your entire head, including your chin and face, with an integrated chin bar. Built with a robust EPS core and reinforced outer shell, full-face mountain bike helmets often feature an MIPS system for rotational protection. They typically weigh between 900 and 1,200 grams and usually meet the stricter ASTM F1952 DH standard. Perfect for lift-accessed riding and technically demanding trails at high speeds.
• E-MTB Helmet: Specially reinforced for the higher speeds of electric mountain bikes. Many models are certified to NTA 8776, offering improved impact absorption and extended coverage at the back of your head and temples. Many models include integrated rear LED lights, advanced ventilation systems, and slightly higher weight for a more stable fit at speed. Ideal for e-MTB riders who move faster with motor support.
• BMX & Dirt Jump Helmets: Minimalist half-shell designs for urban riding, pump tracks, and dirt jumps. These helmets deliberately limit large ventilation openings in favor of robust, all-around coverage. The design is inspired by skate helmets, with a low-profile fit and reinforced sides. Lightweight and compact for maximum freedom of movement during tricks and jumps.

If you mainly ride technical trails, coverage and rotational protection should be top priorities. For marathon-style riding, weight and ventilation matter more. These criteria help guide the decision:

• Helmet type: Half-shell for trail and XC, open-face for enduro, full-face for downhill and bike park – the more speed and risk involved, the more comprehensive the protection should be.
• MIPS or alternative rotational protection systems: A low-friction layer between the helmet shell and the head reduces dangerous rotational forces in angled impacts by up to 50%. Systems like MIPS, WaveCel, or Integra Split significantly lower the risk of concussions.
• Weight: Lightweight XC helmets start at around 250 grams, trail helmets weigh 300–350 grams, enduro half-shells 350–450 grams, and full-face helmets 900–1,200 grams. Choose based on riding style and terrain – on long climbs, every gram counts.
• Ventilation: Plenty of large vents for XC and trail riding, fewer openings on enduro helmets, and optimized channel systems on full-face helmets to keep air moving in the bike park, even in summer.
• Coverage: Half-shell helmets provide basic coverage, trail helmets extend protection over the back of the head, open-face models cover the ears, and full-face helmets protect the entire head, including the face.
• Fit and adjustment system: Rear dial systems for fine adjustment, height-adjustable retention, and padded, washable liners. The helmet should sit securely without pressure points and stay in place without shifting.
• Visor: Adjustable or removable visors protect against low sun and overhanging branches. For bike park riding, goggle compatibility is essential on full-face helmets.
