Fox's new visorless helmet fills the gap in the brand's range for a lid that compliments short travel and gravel bikes during rides that take riders over long distances with a smattering of technical descents thrown in.

In order to fill that role, it's equipped with Mips to handle rotational impacts and that's combined with a dual-density Varizorb EPS foam. Inside, the Crossframe Pro benefits from a removeable, washable and anti-microbial Ionic+ liner. That EPS is in-moulded too which ups the breathability, which is one of the main benefits of the Crossframe Pro as it gets a vast number of vents to keep the lid cool during those lengthy days on the bike.

The feature lists continues as there's a Fidlock SNAP magnetic buckle which is a standard of helmets at this price, and there's a handy inegrated sunglasses holder that employs TPU inserts to keep your specs in place.
