At Skookum we recommend the POC Axion Race MIPS for riders who want serious trail and enduro protection without stepping up to a full‑on race lid. It’s a lightweight, well‑ventilated mountain bike helmet built to handle fast BC trails, technical descents, and long days in the saddle.
The Axion Race features Mips® Integra, an integrated rotational impact protection system designed to reduce forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts. Combined with a lightweight EPS liner and unibody PC shell, the helmet delivers dependable protection with a clean, low‑profile feel. Extended coverage around the temples and back of the head adds confidence in high‑risk impact zones.
One of the standout safety features is POC’s patented breakaway peak, designed to snap off in a crash to reduce forces transmitted to the neck. For everyday comfort, the 360° adjustment system makes it easy to dial in a secure fit, while optimized ventilation channels keep airflow moving on hot climbs and long summer rides.
Designed specifically for trail and enduro riding, the Axion Race MIPS balances protection, comfort, and value—making it a great choice for riders who want proven safety tech without unnecessary bulk. Whether you’re riding local singletrack, bike‑park laps, or technical alpine trails, this helmet is built to perform.
