Troy Lee Designs have, for many years now, been the helmet of choice for many riders in the field at UCI SX World Cup events. At this level of racing the consequences of a crash can be catastrophic with the speed of the riders ever increasing year on year, so when they choose a TLD helmet, you know that the manufacturer has their trust.
The reigning king of full-face helmets, the D4 range expands with a Polyacrylite model packing the same safety and comfort features as the premium carbon and composite models into a price-conscious shell. Meaning that while you are sacrificing a little bit of weight in a slightly heavier shell, you still have the D4 MIPS rotational impact brain protection built in.
When you choose a TLD helmet, you are making this decision because you want your head to receive the highest level of protection, and you don't need to be racing SX BMX to be exposed to the same level of forces that riders at a world cup face.
Most modern BMX tracks have tarmac berms and concrete hard surfaces meaning that riders from 5 to 55 years old need the best level or head and brain protection that they can afford and your BMX race helmet is the most vital piece of gear that you should invest in. It's not an area you should try to save money on. You only get one brain, look after it the best possible way you can in a TLD helmet
