Fox Dropframe Helmets – Extended-Coverage MTB Enduro Lids

The Dropframe category at Foxracing.si gathers Fox's extended-coverage mountain bike helmets – open-face lids that wrap further around the ears, temples and jaw line than a standard trail helmet, without the fixed chin bar of a full face. It is aimed at trail, enduro and e-MTB riders who want more protection on technical descents but still need airflow and freedom to breathe on long climbs.

What this category covers

In the Dropframe range you will find Fox half-shell helmets designed around a deeper shell profile, with an EPS impact liner, a large vent layout for hot-weather riding, an adjustable visor and a fit system you can tighten with one hand while riding. Typical features across the line include goggle-friendly shaping, a magnetic Fidlock-style buckle that can be closed with gloves on, and removable, washable comfort padding. Models are sold in several colourways and sizes, so you can match the helmet to the rest of your kit.

How to choose a Dropframe helmet

  • Size and fit: measure your head circumference roughly 2 cm above the eyebrows with a soft tape and compare it with the size chart on the product page. The helmet should sit level, with no pressure points, and stay put when you shake your head with the straps undone.
  • Level of coverage: a Dropframe sits between a classic trail helmet and a full face. Choose it if you ride fast, rough descents but do not need the chin bar required for downhill races and bike parks.
  • Rotational impact protection: check whether the model you are looking at is specified with a MIPS liner, which is designed to reduce rotational forces in angled impacts.
  • Ventilation and weight: more and larger vents help on long climbs and in summer heat; a lighter shell reduces neck fatigue on all-day rides.
  • Eyewear compatibility: if you ride in goggles, check that the shell and visor leave room for the frame and the strap; the deeper shape of a Dropframe is built with goggles in mind.
  • Certification: bicycle helmets sold in the EU carry a CE mark to EN 1078 – look for it on the label inside the shell.

FAQ

Is a Dropframe a full-face helmet?

No. It is an open-face helmet with extended coverage around the ears and jaw. It offers more protection than a standard trail lid, but it has no chin bar, so it is not a substitute for a full face in downhill racing or bike parks that require one.

What kind of riding is the Dropframe made for?

Trail, enduro and e-MTB riding, where you climb under your own power and want serious coverage on the way back down.

Can I wear goggles with a Dropframe helmet?

Yes. The shell shape and adjustable visor are designed to work with MTB goggles, and the helmet can also be worn with sunglasses on easier rides.

How do I find my helmet size?

Measure your head circumference above the eyebrows and around the widest part of the skull, then match the number to the size chart shown with each helmet. If you are between sizes, the fit dial and interior padding can fine-tune the final fit.

When should a helmet be replaced?

Replace any helmet after a significant impact, even if the shell looks intact, and whenever you notice cracks, a damaged liner or a retention system that no longer holds its adjustment.
