Reviewing the FOX Rampage Pro Carbon Mips Full Face Helmet

[@slick-riq]

I wonder why they didn’t carry over the fidlock straps from the Proframe - I love that, so much easier to attach/detach with gloves.

[@DarcyFletchh]

In the event of a crash, some have found that the fidlocks can undo themselves if dragging on their chin. I have a speed frame pro mips and it happened to me a few weeks ago and it’s pretty scary. I love the system so surely they can find a way to do it. But fox is originally a moto sport team so it makes sense to have d ring

[@hogeandrew]

Love this helmet had it for a year now and it’s saved my brain multiple times

[@richardseller3733]

Excellent point, part of reason I bought TLD A2 mips was the high rating. If they are sending some helmets send all of them. As always great work and look forward to next video!!

[@TheHooniverse]

Sweet, I am looking to snag a new full-face lid ahead of bike park season

[@TheHooniverse]

Kook Mode, 🤣

[@lenBrill1971]

I just bought one used but in brand new condition for $80. I got an insane deal.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Yes you did!

[@ysamuelarai]

Wish you would have talked more about things like: Weight Available sizing/cm Shell sizings (is XS using the same outer shell size compared to XL with only pad thickness difference?) Special Features that distinguish it from others (breakaway visor, amount of ventilation, any shock absorbing gel or something?) What changed from previous version of the Fox Rampage Pro Carbon (RPC). How this differs from Fox Rampage Comp, and Fox Proframe

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thanks for the feedback. We try to always evolve and sometimes we list all the features that are easily listed on brand’s website and then get asked to focus on experiential stuff as anyone can read the stats from a site… we don’t want to make 15 min long videos but we take all comments into account so thanks for sharing!

[@Greyarcher1]

Now THATS a Cool looking Helmet 🤠

[@sjokkomann8126]

Can you review the sweet protection arbitrator?

[@rdkuless]

I don't see a lot of vents to keep your head cool and comfortable.. How many..? the Fluid packs look like they block airflow to the head..

[@TeamCykelhold]

Nice helmet. If I had a bunch of choices for free helmets I'd go with that one, but spending that much cash on a helmet (remember helmets are disposable items that you throw away after a crash) is IMO a bit insane. Get the most secure helmet you can afford - sure. But don't get a helmet you feel too attached to to throw it out as soon as there is a risk of compromising it.

[@erikbedell7392]

I bought the same model. Make sure you try it on as the Loam Wolf said. I would of been a small if you purely look at the sizing chart and went with a medium. Glad I did. The D carbon closure is great but it is tough to strap compared to a standard metal D ring. Overall though great helmet. The helmet takes a couple of rides to break in but when it does it fits awesome. It will feel tight at first especially at the cheeks.

[@dhfurious]

Hey up pal I’m maybe just over 55cm so on your review you think I should be definitely go for a medium. Instead of the small cheers

[@pete24p]

so any info for surron x and talaria sting r riders?? are the mountain biking style full face helmets enough protection??? thanks

[@jamesdunn7526]

Well yeah as long as the helmet that scored and A has a sick paint job…

[@Luigi2641]

sold! Fox can take all my monies!

[@corismsyn]

You prefer D rings to Fidlock?

[@mathistoussaint5486]

Hy. A question about the sizing: I have 58-59 head circumference. Would you rather recommend size L or XL? Thx for your advice…

[@TheLoamWolf]

In this new one we'd probably suggest trying the Large.

[@matteonegrisolo3550]

When is the 100% aircraft 2 long-term review coming?

[@TheLoamWolf]

Next week! It’s part of the series

[@dhfurious]

Hey up I measure around tad over 55cm should I go small or medium cheers Phil

[@TheLoamWolf]

That's a tough one, Drew measures out at 56.5 cm... Hopefully that helps?

[@brent_s]

MIPS is great, unless it’s noisy. I had a IXS trigger MIPS, but it creaked, and rattled just riding along and being a full face, noise is transferred more easily to your ears. Exchanged it for the non-mips version, and it’s completely silent. Any MIPS noise on this helmet? Noise might be a minor annoyance for some, but it’s a dealbreaker for me.

[@TheLoamWolf]

We definitely talk about the quietness of this helmet at 7:00.

[@brent_s]

@@TheLoamWolf thanks, I missed that, I though you were referring to trail noise

[@mitkoshredder]

The fluid inside helmet from 2019 was superior, why did you choose to remove the magnets from the visor and pit screws.... wtf

[@BMXEVER]

Rn I have a fly helmet 60-61 or 61-61 I don’t remember I just know it’s a xl would it fit me cause if I don’t have any more sizes 🤣

[@BMXEVER]

But a 60.8 cm fitted hat fits me

[@TheLoamWolf]

That is tough to say as some brands XL are different shapes for different types of heads “molds”. I’d look at the numbers though for a best guess on a fly and this but in think XL would fit.

[@Doub1e_R]

This or the new proframe rs?

[@TheLoamWolf]

Depends what your riding / looking for. If you want a single-purpose, downhill specific (bike park, shuttle laps) helmet, then definitely the the Rampage. The Proframe RS would be a good choice if you want a helmet that you can do it all in (bike park, shuttling, long days pedaling on the trail, great for ebiking).

[@Doub1e_R]

@@TheLoamWolf thanks for reply. I have a drop frame that I use for trail riding. But for the gnarly steeps that we ride handful of times would want a little more protection I’d be on an e-bike. If I can get both for around same price would you recommend the rampage?

[@rdkuless]

these are either MIPS or fluid.. Which is this..?

[@TheLoamWolf]

Fox transitioned all their Rampage helmets to MIPS for the 2022 model year and beyond. Their older Rampage helmets used the Fluid Tech. Regarding your other question, there are 11 intake vents and 7 exhaust vents.

[@flitz3112]

Im a 55-56 cm head would you recommend for me to get the large or medium?

[@TheLoamWolf]

I’m the same size, slightly favoring a 56cm. I went large.

[@flitz3112]

@@TheLoamWolf Thanks so much.

[@godlike0630]

Im 7.8 inches..which 1 do i get?

[@danielpatino3868]

I'm a troy lee fanboy 🤣🤣, I have tried fox helmets and I'm not sure if my head has a weird shape but the size is never right and also after 10min riding start to feel the helmets very uncomfortable.

[@tawmifm]

I doubt the ratings are on the company's side tbh, because all of these companies do have helmets in the VT ratings! I think they just didn't test full face for whatever reason.

[@brendenlopp1782]

Interested in this vs the 7idp 23 carbon y’all talked about in a previous review. The 7idp is also Carbon, seems to vent well, and has fidlock for a decent amount less. Is the Fox truly worth the extra cheddar in this economy?

[@SnakeC666]

Last week i bought Alpinestars Missile Tech Solid MIPS excellent helmet for the price weight around 1kg has mips d ring carbon blend outer shell plenty of vents just for 220€. Look great for, sits well on my head M (75-78) me it has similar spec as FOX RPC but is cheaper around 200€ :)

[@Coolcmsc]

Yup, more independent info like VT.

[@muthatrucker6485]

3:08 tell that to the NFL. Someone invented it, proved its safety, then the league and teams refused to use it. Even the individual player couldn't choose to wear it because sponsors are sh!t. I swear they want enforcers cracking helmets to ruin players careers. A couple of match bans to wipe out their best player for the rest of their lives and the sport doesn't even compensate your injury

[@josecarlosavendano5431]

Yes all mtb brands should have more disclosure.!Also, why on earth brands have rejected using an EPP core in their helmets, are they trying to continuously sell us helmets? Varizorb doesn´t act like pure EPP, neither does that aramid nonsense TLD is putting in their Stage helmets. Unless you have EPP as the core of your helmet, 1 hard impact and your helmet is DONE! Bye bye 500 bucks. Nice paint jobs and sophisticated vents are welcomed, but Id rather pay 500 washingtons for a helmet that is going to last me through the downhill season instead of maybe a month.I´ll be looking more into POC´s Coron models since they have an EPP core. Carbon and kevlar are overrated and without EPP, to me, make no sense

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thanks for sharing and glad to hear more feedback on people interested in safety info.

[@juanhidalgo7043]

Hopefully this fox helmet in hand made Italy or USA if not look at Kask as they are made in house in Italy! Don’t settle for Chinese or Taiwan made helmets! Pay premium for maid made carbon in France, Italy, USA…

[@jamesblake1848]

For 500$ it better come with a spare arm and leg along with GPS and rearview mirror 🤣
