iXS Trail RS Helmet

iXS Trail RS Helmet


The iXS Trail RS Helmet is a lightweight, extended coverage, open face helmet designed to cater for the ever growing enduro market.

iXS Sports Division worked with MTB adventurer Richie Schley to develop a helmet that provided coverage somewhere between an XC helmet and a downhill helmet, while remaining lightweight and highly ventilated. The end result is the iXS Trail RS Helmet that you see here.

Designed with a much lower wrap-around at the rear of the helmets’ shell, the iXS Trail RS maximizes protection for the rider, while the in-moulded outer shell adds not only durability to the helmet, but is said to boost impact dispersion in the event of a crash. On the topic of crashing, the adjustable MX style visor features a crash release system, intended on folding back and out of the way as opposed to forwards into your face in the case of a true face plant. For those interested in certifications, the helmet satisfies both EN1078 & CPCS.

Ergo-Fit Ultra

The “Ergo-Fit Ultra” retention system is both highly flexible and adjustable, enabling an excellent fit for even the most odd shaped heads. I tend to have a lot of trouble getting a comfortable fit in helmets and the Trail RS has been an amazingly comfortable fit from day one. With 22 vents, this helmet really does allow your head to breathe. Despite having a lot more head coverage than my previous XC helmet, I find the iXS Trail RS much more breathable.
