The V2 Merz Helmet sets the standard for a mid-level helmet with a pro-level feature set, including new safety technology and an injection molded shell, giving you protection to match your performance goals.
Designed with MIPS™ (Multi-directional Impact Protection system) technology, which is scientifically proven to reduce rotational forces on impact, a visor designed to release in the event of a crash, and dual-density Varizorb™ EPS liner to take impact protection a step further, this is a motocross helmet that’s got your back, every ride.
Fit and feel aren’t forgotten either, with six specific shell and EPS sizes for a more true-to-fit feeling, plus removable and washable lines and cheek pads that wick away sweat and manage potential odor.
