Fox Metah Helmet


We loved the look and fit of Fox’s original trail/all-mountain helmet, the Flux. A decade on, the market’s a lot more crowded but the new Metah still stands out, with striking looks and better coverage than its predecessor.

The protection now extends further down at the back and the lid has a secure feel, with a dial adjuster to fine-tune the fit. The peak is longer than most and fixed in place, and could prove a bit of a love/hate feature. Ten large vents should help with airflow. The Metah comes in a range of colours to match Fox’s clothing, so if you want good protection while looking sharp this could be the lid for you. Our S/M sample weighs 405g.

Price 165$

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.
