Market: Enduro sport is currently characterized by innovations. Wherever you look, there are enduro-specific products that are often optimized for racing and therefore want to convince with their low weight. However, the Norwegian clothing specialist Sweet Protection sees things differently and primarily focuses on the functionality of the products and the safety of the riders. The highest credo: Never save on weight if this affects performance.
Since last year, Sweet Protection has also had a clothing line specifically for enduro use in its range.
The Fixed full face-Helmet is an essential part of this line. Tracy Moseley wore the Fixer last year and won the inaugural Enduro World Series. The combination of low weight and maximum protection is crucial for her and so she chooses the light carbon helmet. This is characterized by the new MIPSsystem, which is designed to absorb the rotational forces that occur in a fall 50 percent better than a conventional helmet without MIPS. That the To stare its big bonus is that it only weighs 850 grams. It should be characterized by good ventilation and a good fit.
For those who prefer a more airy feel and aren't serious about racing, Sweet Protection offers the Bushwhacker helmet. This half-shell helmet boasts a modern design and features five deep intake vents and eight exhaust vents for optimal airflow. The Bushwhacker is available with or without MIPS and boasts a five-piece outer shell for maximum protection. Once you've decided between the standard and carbon versions, the only remaining choice is between six different colors.
