Collection: Mountain Bike Helmets

The best MTB helmets for men and women are at MTB Direct

Discover Australia’s largest range of dedicated mountain bike helmets, designed to keep you safe and comfortable on every side. Choose from a variety of open face and full face helmets, suitable for all riding styles from downhill to enduro. All helmets sold on MTB Direct achieve the Australian safety standards.

For downhill or enduro mountain bike riding, we recommend full face helmets which offer superior protection compared to open face designs. While full face MTB helmets may be heavier and provide less ventilation they offer added protection for riders who prioritise safety while riding more aggressive trails. 

Our helmets feature an adjustable fit along at least one place excluding some of our full face and dirt jump helmets. Generally, MTB helmets will feature an adjustable internal harness to conform the helmet to the circumference of your head. Some designs offer forms of internal adjustment such as the ability to alter the vertical height of the internal frame. Read our blog to learn more about how to adjust your helmet.

For more extreme riding like downhill racing, we suggest wearing the right protective gear including a neck brace. Neck braces are proven to reduce the severity of neck injuries and don’t impede your movement on the bike when sized and adjusted correctly. Check out our neck braces suitable for men, women, and teenagers.

While it is possible to wear goggles with the majority of our mountain bike helmets there are certainly a number of helmets that are more compatible with goggles. If you enjoy general trail riding on the weekend and are not serious about downhill or enduro then we recommend viewing our MTB glasses which offer protection against glare, wind, and debris.
