The A3 mountain bike helmet is a new standard in premium mountain bike helmets with luxury comfort, patent-pending innovations in safety, ventilation that will keep you cool on the longest climbs with comfort and coverage to protect you on the sketchiest of descents. It received the highest possible score (5-star) from Virginia Tech Saftey Lab so that you can feel confident in all conditions.

A-Series History:

Troy Lee Designs was always known for the best-in-class full-face Daytona Series, not new to creating industry-leading helmets. But for years, TLD athletes and customers wanted a half shell trail helmet. In 2013 the long-awaited a1 helmet was born and brought TLD safety and style with DNA action. Four years later, the A2 was born and was the first MTB helmet to offer high-speed and low-speed energy management protection with EPS and EPP impact foam co-molded together. Both helmets remain in the lineup with the A3 so every customer can find what’s best for them with a wide range of features, benefits, and price points.
