SixSixOne Helmets

SixSixOne helmets fall into one of three main categories: lightweight mountain bike helmets for dirt trails or cross-country; fullface mountain bike helmets for downhill and heavier riding; and multi-purpose helmets for use on both bikes and the skatepark. SixSixOne’s helmet line is a good example of doing fewer things better—the company doesn’t make a huge number of helmets, but each helmet is well designed for its purpose. XSportsProtective carries the following SixSixOne helmets:

SixSixOne Dirt/Trail Helmets

• The SixSixOne Recon mountain bike helmet is an ultra-lightweight helmet designed for dirt trails. The Recon has extended coverage to protect the back of your head in case you take a tumble backward and a removable visor to help protect your eyes and face from rocks or branches.

SixSixOne Fullface Mountain Bike Helmets

• The SixSixOne EVO Carbon Fiber fullface helmet is SixSixOne’s top-of-the line fullface helmet. The 3K carbon weave shell gives this helmet an excellent strength to weight ratio (it weighs under 1,000 grams).
• The SixSixOne EVO Wired is a fullface mountain bike helmet with a fiberglass composite shell. It offers the same level of protection as the EVO Carbon Fiber fullface but with a few additional grams of weight.
• The SixSixone Comp Shifted fullface mountain bike helmet sports a polycarbonate exterior shell and full-cut eye view for maximum peripheral vision. The Shifted fullface helmet is a great starter helmet if you’re just getting into downhill.

SixSixOne Bike/Skate Helmets

• For those who like to spend time on the trails and at the skatepark, the SixSixOne Dirt Lid helmet does double duty as a bike/skate helmet.
