Troy Lee Designs is synonymous with helmet safety and with this helmet manufactured with a aerospace shell design and materials, they were able to get the D4 Composite helmet to 1050 grams without sacrificing any strength.
Mips® C2 protection system is used to add an additional layer of safety for that time that you lawn dart into the track. And trust us, it happens, even to the best rider. You can be racing along minding your own business when, BOOM, you get hooked up in someone else's disaster and now you're going head first into the turn. Mips helps mitigate the rotational forces enacted upon your brain as the helmet hits the ground. Essentially this system means that the inner lining of the helmet rotates within the shell rather than your brain rotating inside of your skull!
For comfort on those hot and sweaty training nights that we have here in Oz, the D4 Composite routes cooling air through a front air intake system that flows through the polymer centre and power grid side mesh keeping your head cooler during the ride. X-static® and XT2® anti-microbial/anti-odor padding keep the inside of the helmet a much nicer place to be.
The TLD D4 Composite sits between the Polyacrylite and the all out Carbon D4. It's a light helmet that comes from one of the trusted names in the BMX racing business. There's a reason that when you're watching UCI SX World Cup racing that you see a lot of TLD helmets on the heads of riders, that trust in a helmet and safety system in the world's toughest BMX arena.
If TLD is chosen by elite riders, then it should be chosen by you.
