The protection of the rider, in the dirt and stones.
A unique helmet
The cross helmet is distinguished by its extended chin guard, which allows a lot of air to flow for breathing during exertion, and its visor, which protects against dirt and sun splashes. It doesn't have a face shield: it is worn with a cross mask. Very ventilated and lightweight, it is designed for intense efforts on rough terrain. It must be approved according to the European standard ECE 22.06 for riding on open roads, particularly in enduro.

All helmets are gathered on the helmets page.
Shell and rotational protection
The more economical polycarbonate shell, or composite and carbon, like those from Leatt, Troy Lee Designs, or Alpinestars, which are lighter, absorbs and disperses the energy from a shock. Many off-road helmets incorporate a system to protect against rotational movements of the brain, such as MIPS, a thin sliding layer inside, found in Bell and Troy Lee Designs. The Arai helmets, from the Japanese brand, focus on a round and smooth shell that glides on the ground.
Cross, enduro and trial
For cross and enduro, brands like Fly Racing Formula, Bell, Airoh Wraaap, LS2 Fast and Kenny offer ventilation and lightness; the Arai Tour-X, with a shield and visor, is suitable for trail riding and all-terrain travel. For trial, a slow and technical discipline, open jet helmets, like the Airoh Kombakt, the LS2 Drifter, or the Hebo, allow for maximum vision and breathing. Size is chosen based on head circumference, and one should replace their helmet after a significant fall.

Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't a cross helmet have a face shield?
It is designed for intense exertion: its extended chin guard allows plenty of air to flow for breathing. It is worn with a cross mask, which is more resistant to dirt splashes than a face shield.
What is the purpose of the MIPS system?
MIPS is a low-friction layer placed inside the helmet. During an oblique impact, it allows for a slight slip that reduces the rotational forces transmitted to the brain.
What is the difference between a trial helmet and a cross helmet?
A trial helmet is often open, lightweight, and well-ventilated, suitable for low-speed obstacles. The cross helmet, being full face with a chin guard, offers much better protection for the face during fast falls.
How do you choose the size of a cross motorcycle helmet?
Measure the head circumference above the eyebrows and follow the manufacturer's guide. The helmet should fit snugly without any pain points and should not move when shaking the head; the pads compress a bit over time.
When should you replace an off-road helmet?
After any significant impact, even without visible damage, as the inner shell may have absorbed the energy. Otherwise, replace it after several years of use, when the padding has compressed and retention decreases.
