SixSixOne Evo AM Helmet


OPEN-FACE HELMETS with increased coverage have becoming a lot more popular in recent years. The new SixSixOne Evo AM has the requisite dropped rear and ups protection with a liner made from Contigo foam, which is better at absorbing impacts than the EPS used by most manufacturers. The helmet is also available with a brainprotecting MIPS layer for an extra 45$.

Nine large vents and six large exhaust ports manage airflow, while the Boa retention system should cradle the head effectively and make it easy to tailor the fit. A magnetic buckle makes it easy to open or close the strap with one hand.

PRICE 150$ (standard), 195$ (MIPS)

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.
