Bontrager Rally MIPS helmet


Looking and feeling like a far pricier lid, the Rally has a hard twopiece polycarbonate outer enclosing its EPS liner. The adjustable peak is formed from soft plastic and stays rattle-free and secure, with room for goggles underneath. We had no issues fitting eyewear under the brow. At 400g, only the Bell is heavier, but the Bonty lid doesn’t feel too weighty on your head. The numerous vents make light work of maintaining airflow. While the pads hold your head securely, comfort doesn’t match that of the Giro, TLD or Urge lids. Fit-wise, the Rally feels snug, with some testers complaining of pressure points towards the front and back of the helmet. It’s also comparatively shallow, so it may feel perched on some head shapes. You can buy the Rally without MIPS for $45 less.
