Sea Otter 2017 – BERN FL-1 Pavé, Trail, and XC helmets

by Brian Mullin on April 21, 2017

BERN is releasing their new FL-1 helmet lineup which includes the Pavé, Trail, and XC helmets broadening Bern’s high-end, yet affordable, lid to the MTB market. They also upgraded their Union urban helmet.

FL-1 XC

Pre-work spins on local trails. Weekend rides with friends. That long-planned-for trip to Moab or The Kingdom Trails. Wherever your ride takes you, the new FL-1 XC from Bern has all of your mountain bike adventures covered. Featherweight In-Mold construction, a premium Boa retention system, a purpose-built removable hard visor, MIPS protection, and 18 air-hungry vents all combine to make the FL-1 XC a premium trail lid. And, with a style all its own, the XC is sure to bring a little extra edge to your game


FL-1 Trail

Split your time equally between the bike path and the local trails? Looking for a technical helmet that won’t break the bank? The FL-1 Trail is the lid for you. Modeled after our top-of-the-line FL-1 XC, the Trail retains the In-Mold construction, light weight, styling, and ample venting of its big brother. By using our own dial retention system and a simplified visor design, however, we are able to bring the price down significantly, leaving you plenty of spare change for a six-pack of your favorite local brew. The FL-1 Trail – premium style and performance without the premium price tag.


Pave

Like Bern’s signature style, but looking for something a little more technical? Want a helmet that is equally at home in a pace line as it is on a spirited commute to work? The FL-1 Pave is the lid for you. With a style inspired by the original leather Tour de France helmets, the FL-1 Pave offers plenty of ventilation, ultra-light weight, a unique look, and technical cutting-edge features such as a Boa 360 degree retention system and optional MIPS protection. The FL-1 Pave: style without compromise.

Union

From the café to the office to the local watering hold, the Union is at home wherever your urban adventures take you. Inspired by our best-selling Brentwood, the Union feature 21 vents, a Boa 360 degree retention system, a removable flip visor, and the modern styling to back it all up. Designed specifically for those urban riders who want their gear to look as good as it works, the Union is sure to be an instant urban classic. Our proprietary Zipmold + construction helps make this one of our lowest-profile helmets to date, while the premium moisture control liner helps keep you cool and sweat-free on long summer commutes. Modern look, premium construction, superior fit – classic.
