The Smith Forefront 3 Mips Helmet is a bold evolution of one of the most trusted names in mountain biking protection. With full KOROYD® coverage, an integrated Mips® Air Node System, and a complete internal roll cage, this helmet is packed with next-gen safety tech that doesn't compromise comfort. The updated design boosts ventilation by 25% over the previous version, with a new center channel and 20 fixed vents that keep you cool when the climbs are steep and the descents are rowdy. The flexible BOA® Fit System ensures a precise fit that hugs your head securely without pressure points, even on all-day trail missions.
Whether you're lapping flow trails or picking your way down technical terrain, the Forefront 3 is tuned for every ride. A three-position adjustable visor accommodates goggle storage and maximizes visibility, while AirEvac™ ventilation keeps your eyewear fog-free and your vision clear. Integrated front and rear sunglass storage channels make transitions seamless, and the helmet is compatible with both light and action cam mounts. Built to exceed safety standards and dialed for aggressive riding, the Forefront 3 combines high-performance features with exceptional ventilation and trail-tested durability.
