A new rounder head form gives the Rail a more universal fit, allowing more riders to find the perfect size.
Rail Helmet
Conquer With Confidence
Created with an all-new head form for a more universal fit and the super-slim Mips Air Node® integrated rotational impact protection system, the third-generation Rail is our most comfortable and lightweight trail helmet yet. Boasting a five-star safety rating from the world-renowned Virginia Tech Helmet Safety lab, the Rail also features an accessible, four-position, snap-in height adjustment system, increased ventilation, and supple, lightweight straps with a handy Fidlock® buckle. Comfort, confidence and zero distractions—so you can focus on charging descents while staying cool on tough climbs.
Key Performance Factors
IMPROVED FIT
If you’ve ever felt a need to size up and cinch down to get the right feeling of width without pressure, the Rail’s new rounder shape offers a more balanced overall feel.
CUTTING EDGE SAFETY
Fully integrated into the padding, the super low-profile Mips Air Node® liner is a top-of-the-line safety system that reduces rotational forces that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain during impact. With a five-star rating from Virginia Tech’s Helmet Safety Lab, it’s the ultimate in lightweight protection.
DIALED IN COMFORT
A four-position, snap-in height adjustment system combines with supple, lightweight straps and a handy Fidlock® buckle for a comfortable fit. Twenty one large, head-cooling ventilation channels optimize airflow as you hammer up climbs and bomb descents.
Highlights
From its Mips Air Node® integrated rotational impact protection system, which comes with a five-star rating from the globally recognized Virginia Tech Helmet Safety lab, to the innovative four-position, snap-in height adjustment system and hands-free Fidlock® buckle, the new Rail is packed with cutting-edge technology.

ROUNDER HEAD FORM DESIGN
2
INTEGRATED MIPS AIR NODE® LINER
Mips Air Node® is built into the helmet padding and allows 10-15 mm of movement in relation to the energy-absorbing layer. This reduces the rotational forces that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain during impact, while remaining so lightweight it’s almost invisible.
3
MAGNETIC FIDLOCK® BUCKLE SYSTEM
A magnetic Fidlock® buckle allows one-handed attachment and release. Silky smooth straps provide a secure fit that won’t chafe, even on the hottest days.
4
MAXIMUM AIRFLOW
21 strategically placed vents optimize airflow for maximum head-cooling.
5
THREE-LAYER PROTECTION
In-molded upper, sub and lower PC shells for optimal protective structure.
6
BROAD TOP SURFACE
An extended top surface area is the perfect spot to mount a camera or light system.
7
EASY HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
A dual-arm, four-position, snap-in rear height adjustment helps you dial in fit.
Techs & Features
Mips Air Node™
Mips Air Node™ is a super light and slim helmet security system that moves 10-15 mm in relation to the helmet’s energy-absorbing layer, reducing the rotational forces that are otherwise transmitted to the brain during impact. Fully integrated into the helmet’s padding, Mips Air Node™ is as light as possible and designed to fit each individual helmet model and size, making it virtually invisible until needed.
Magnetic Fidlock®
Magnetic Fidlock® helmet buckles are intuitive, pinch-free and can be opened or closed with one hand, even while wearing gloves.
Virginia Tech 5 Star Rating
In collaboration with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Virginia Tech have rated a total of 128 bike helmets using the STAR evaluation system. The bicycle helmet impact tests evaluate a helmet's ability to reduce linear acceleration and rotational velocity of the head resulting from a range of impacts a cyclist might experience. Helmets with more stars provide a reduction in concussion risk for these impacts compared to helmets with less stars. Read more.
