The Athlon was developed with a single purpose in mind - XC racing. This helmet combines 23 generous Wind Tunnel vents plus smooth style, a compact shape, minimal weight, and an updated, low profile P.O.V. visor. You're not going to find a better performing, more comfortable, competition-specific MTB helmet. The Athlon will keep you on top, whether it's a world cup XC, a 24-hour race, a local short track or a high speed Super D. At the very least, you'll look good trying.
