"The XENON® is a sport helmet for the recreational rider without short cuts in ventilation and strength using all the possibilities of an In-Mold construction."
This helmets fits like a glove. My previous helmet didnt fit well even after adjustments and it moved a lot. The Xenon is a good purchase for its price and quality. I recommend this helmet to any biker looking for a balance with price and quality.

Expensive, too xc, but compared to my 661 full face comp, this is my mtb reinvention.
Similar Products Used:
Some Bells (not so nice), 661 full comp (great protection, but it is a microwave)
Bike Setup:
Bullit, xt, mavic EX729, 5th element, easton, thompson, maxxis, hayes mag and the new 66 light eta is already coming
Bottom Line:
Great Helmet, light, good protection for xc, many and big ventilation holes. This helment fits me perfect. Compared with other helmets in the same price range, it is the best. But remember here in Ecuador averything is too expensive, so a soso bell helmet cost pretty the same (+/- USD100). The best xc helmet, some extra protection as the giro xen would be perfect for more agresive riders. But for it intended use it is the best.

Bottom Line:
Im particular with a helmet that really fits.Im also a lot on its aesthetic looks as well as the fuction.I would also consider the price.I was contemplating on buying a Rudy Project ayron but our dealer here is less than helpful pertaining stocks and availability.The Xenon's quick turn knob is pure heaven,adjustments can be made in a sec.NO more saggy helmet.The 18 vents really does it's office.You can actually feel the breeze even at low speeds.Its fairly light,255 grams of headgear.In terms of durability, I have to crash test it first.I would recommend you guys to BUY IT! It's good value plus the quality..
