Decisive Head protection

Helmet Tech

reliable protection, perfect fit and superior comfort

When you ride with a TSG helmet you’re protected against the inevitable. Each and every model of TSG helmet is rigorously tested in the lab and by our team riders in the field to provide ultimate safety. Keep scrolling to learn more about TSG Helmet Technology.


PROTECTION

RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE

Learn more about our construction technologies and helmet protection here.

Hardshell construction

Hardshell helmets are constructed from ABS or PP plastic. This outer shell gets bonded to the EPS core for a two-piece construction that provides high durability and ultimate high-impact protection.

In-Mold construction

In-Mold Construction is a technique that connects the shock absorbing EPS liner directly to the polycarbonate shells to create a lightweight and strong structure. In the first step, the flat PC sheet is heated and deep-drawn over the helmet mold. Then the outline of the helmet shell and the holes are milled out. This PC shell is then placed in the helmet mold and the anchors for straps and fitting systems are placed. Then the mold will be closed, and the EPS is injected. Now the polycarbonate shell bonds with the EPS and a super light, yet extremely stable helmet is created.

MIPS protection system

MIPS® is a low friction layer inside the helmet, which allows the head to rotate relative to the helmet in an angled impact. This reduces rotational violence and potential damage to the brain.

FIT

RIDE BETTER FOR LONGER

A snug low-profile fit is key to comfort, protection and enjoying your ride. Fit is the core of our philosophy and is what makes us the best.

Snug Fit

We design our helmets differently from our competitors. We have analyzed the most diverse heads and determined a basic anatomical shape. This allows us to follow exactly the curves of the human head shape. You can see this very well when you look at a TSG helmet from the front: The sides of the helmet shell have more curvature and go clearly inwards. The outline of the TSG helmets at the sides and at the back is round and not straight down like with other helmets. With this production we achieve a so-called contact ring inside the helmet. Here the head touches the helmet all around.

We call this the TSG Snug Fit. Beside the better fit, our helmets with Snug Fit also look less bulky.

In order to lift the TSG helmet from the head, more power is needed than with competition models. This is important so that the helmet does not slip during use and above all remains in the correct position even in the event of a fall.

Low Fit

A helmet can only protect what it covers. Our Low Fit design sits low and fully protects the entire back and sides of your head without impairing field of vision or restricting movement.

Tuned Fit System

Our Tuned Fit System allows a rider to dial in their fit using different thickness pads on the interior of the helmet. Our helmets always come with two sizes of pads. Each size comes in a different color which makes it easy to determine the right pads to fit the helmet to the head. It is very important to adjust the helmet with these included pads. For example, if necessary, the slightly thicker pads can be mounted on the back of the head and the pad for the front of the head can be thinner, or vice versa.

Dial Fit System

The Dial-Fit System makes it easy to dial in a custom fit in seconds. An adjustment wheel on the back of the helmet ensures size adjustment and in­creases stability for helmets that do not have our Snug Fit. Some of our mountain bike enduro/trail helmets also come with a height-adjustable Dial Fit System.

COMFORT

RIDE FREE

A real helmet should feel like your not wearing one. TSG helmets are built to deliver all-day comfort in the most demanding conditions, leaving you to think about your ride.

Air Flow Channels

Our innovative Air Flow vent system delivers optimal air circulation and reduces uncomfortable heat build-up in the helmet. The air channels have been designed to pull fresh air over and around the head while forcing stale air out.

Active Shell Venting

Channels between the EPS foam segments in our FlexTech instant fit helmets allow heat to rise and are then pulled out of the shell.

Screened Vents

Mesh protected vents block insects.

Comfort padding

Premium heat-sealed padding that is pre-formed and quick-drying: Removable and machine (hand) washable.

Basic padding

Light, interior fit pads: Removable and hand washable.
