No subject to promotional offersThe Forefront 3 Mips Matte Black is a mountain bike helmet from the brand Smith, a true must-have for protection in enduro/all-mountain MTB riding.
A perfect blend of high protection and optimal ventilation, this helmet draws inspiration from the second version of the model in its design but offers an innovative and high-performance new look.
In terms of protection and ventilation, few competitors can match the arguments of the Forefront 3 Mips. Indeed, this helmet features 4 layers including 2 technologies: the Koroyd® system and the Mips® system, which protect the entire head by absorbing the majority of energy during falls. These technologies also provide optimal breathability of the helmet, combined with 20 vents on the outer shell and the AirEvac™ ventilation system perfectly compatible with wearing Smith goggles and glasses, leaving you free to focus solely on your line.
On the practical side, this helmet features a precise and efficient BOA® adjustment dial, a lightweight retention strap, an antimicrobial Ionic+® liner, and grooves at the front and rear to hold your goggles or glasses. Compatible with camera and light mounts, you’ll be able to illuminate and film all your performances with peace of mind.
Thus, with the Forefront 3 Mips, you can rack up the kilometres and elevation gain while keeping your head ventilated and protected.

- BOA® head circumference adjustment dial
- Lightweight single-layer retention strap

- Grooves at the front and rear to rest your goggles or glasses

| MIPS® | Multidirectional Impact Protection System: MIPS® is a revolutionary technology that mimics the brain’s natural protection system. The low-friction MIPS® layer creates a sliding margin between the helmet and the head, offering enhanced protection against brain damage caused by violent rotational forces during oblique impacts. |
| KOROYD® | Designed for dynamic, real-world accidents and engineered for safety so you can venture further with confidence. Ultimate Koroyd® protection absorbs more energy and outperforms traditional materials by creating deformation zones using central tubular technology. This surpasses other materials at every stage of compression, thereby helping to reduce injury risk. The protective tubular cell network of Koroyd® instantly and continuously deforms, absorbing maximum force to control dangerous movements from any angle of impact, on any impact surface, minimising energy transferred to your head. |
| BOA® | Adjustable BOA® systems gently distribute pressure, providing all-day comfort without weighing down your gear. |
