The revolutionary Dawn Flex helmet brings true soft-fit comfort combined with a CE certified construction. This is what soft-shell users have been waiting for: the perfect compromise between comfort and safety. We have added our FlexTech innovation to this classic full-cut design with ear protection. The Dawn Flex utilizes a series of interior EPS foam segments connected by a reinforced skeleton, allowing the helmet to flex and mold to your head while still exceeding safety standards. The result is a lid that fits snugly without cramping, and will exceed all your expectations.

Features:

-Hardshell construction: Hardshell helmets are constructed from ABS or PP plastic. This outer shell gets bonded to the EPS core for a two-piece construction that provides high durability and ultimate high-impact protection.

Max finally became a man and no longer has a broken leg so he built up his first 20 inch bmx bike. He's been off the bike for 6 months due to a broken leg and surgeries but now Max is ready to get back on the bike. He grew so much since he last rode and now he has upgraded to a 20inch after riding an 18 inch for so long. He is riding a Cult 2short frame with a lot of primo parts along with Cult parts. But the real question is... When will Max kiss his first girl?!?!
