Based on the Roam helmet, the Revo boasts a 23.5% higher cooling efficiency, thanks to the 23 strategically placed vents. By increasing the amount of back and temple coverage, the Revo surpasses the Roam's safety standards with a prestigious 5-star Virginia Tech rating while also meeting the current NAT 8776 e-bike safety standard—similar to the Fox Speedframe RS.
The similarities between the Revo and the new Fox helmet don't end there. The Revo also features a Fidlock magnetic buckle, sunglasses ports, and an adjustable visor with rounded edges for added safety.
Maximum Protection with Mips For the perfect fit, Fox uses a BOA retention system, while the Revo has its own Safe-T Heta system with a 360-degree Head Belt to reduce pressure points. Ultimately, comfort and fit depend on the shape of your head, so it's crucial to try a new helmet for size before making a purchase.
