Navigate New Terrain in the all-new SMITH Optics Pilot MTB Helmet
Take to the trails with confidence and comfort with the new Pilot MTB helmet from SMITH. Purpose-built for fine-tuned fit and ultimate integration with SMITH eyewear, the Pilot is designed for novice and emerging riders ready to tackle new terrain.
The trail-ready helmet features lightweight in-mold construction with extended rear shell coverage and wrapped edges for increased durability, and the Mips® Evolve Core Safety System, designed to reduce rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head.
For added comfort while riding, the helmet features an adjustable dial fit system, a performance liner for comfort and sweat absorption, and 13 fixed vents for consistent airflow while riding. For ultimate eyewear compatibility, the Pilot also features channels on the front and rear of the helmet for sunglass storage, as well as a fixed visor to reduce overhead glare. The addition of AirEvac™ technology maximizes airflow and prevents fogging when worn with performance eyewear and goggles.
The Pilot (MSRP $95 USD / $115 CDN / $125 AUS / £95 / €95 – Weight: 13 oz / 370 grams – Size M Mips®) is available in XS-XL beginning Spring 2026 at select specialty bike retailers worldwide and online at smithoptics.com.
