Troy Lee Designs A1 Helmet

So here it is, the first glimpse of the new trail helmet from Troy Lee Designs. TLD, renowned for their full face helmets have decided to dabble in the trail market and their first offering looks pretty impressive!

Not only does the A1 look the part it also -plays the part, well on paper anyway, as it exceeds the safety standards set by CPSC (US) and CE (Europe). One noticeable feature is the rear of the helmet which comes further down the back of your head than normal mtb helmets, more like a full face helmet. Weight for the new A1 helmet is claimed to come in at 320g for the medium size, and boasts 12 vents to get the air flowing around your dome.

Craig Glaspell, Marketing Man at TLD states that the helmet is aimed at the mid to big travel rider, Enduro rider or cross country rider. UK pricing has yet to be released, with the US price tag of $165, so take what you want from that. The A1 will be available in three colours, the striking “Limited Edition Gold Metal”, “Flake Cyclops ($20 extra)” and “Black Cyclops”, and should be available in the UK this March.

As soon as we find out more info on the A1 helmet, pricing and release dates we’ll let you know.
