Deep road protection in a helmet that's as comfortable on the road, gravel, or trail as it is commuting to work. All-round performer When we set out to design the XR Spherical, we were after one helmet to do a bit of everything, from racing cyclocross to touring the world to just KOM'ing your buddies on the weekly lunch ride. With Falcon XR, we've taken many of the same features—"Deep Road" fit, ample venting, Fidlock buckle, IONIC+ antimicrobial* comfort padding—and built them into a helmet that is both utilitarian and economic. This versatile helmet boasts the same "All-Rounder" ethos and slim profile of XR Spherical and features Mips Evolve for impact protection in certain crashes. To top it off, the Falcon XR Mips is compatible with our custom Blackburn Grid COB rear LED light that integrates seamlessly into the large rear vent. What more could you ask for? *(IONIC+ antimicrobial padding uses silver for helmet odor control.) - MIPS EVOLVE—Mips Evolve is designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. By integrating the Mips slip plane into the retention system, we are able to reduce complexity and weight for a compact, better ventilated helmet that fits more closely to the head. - IONIC+ ANTIMICROBIAL COMFORT PADDING—Quick-drying interior padding helps manage sweat while fighting odor-causing bacteria. - FIDLOCK MAGNETIC BUCKLE—Fidlock is an easy-to-use magnetic buckle. This time-saving feature slides closed laterally for an effortless, secure fit. - EYEWEAR STORAGE—Easily stash your glasses using the integrated helmet notches. - NO-TWIST TRI-GLIDES—Quick-adjust fasteners that help keep straps flat and properly positioned - SWEAT GUIDE—Sweat Guide pad design pulls moisture away from the brow pad and away from eyewear.-
