Mavic Crossmax Pro helmet


Lightweight and low-profile, the Crossmax Pro is Mavic’s ‘allmountain’ helmet. It has a wide, adjustable peak that sits supersecurely but feels like it’s flexible enough to move out of the way in the event of a crash. The low-sitting retention band is easy to adjust, with a choice of three vertical settings, and provides a secure fit, coupled with the functional chin strap. ‘XRD’ memory foam underneath the padding adds extra comfort and helps spread the retention system load. We did find the forehead padding itchy at times, which seemed to be due to the material used and the extra warmth of the thicker pad. Generally, we found the Crossmax Pro to be reasonably well ventilated, although some testers did find that the bug netting towards the front of the helmet restricted airflow.
