About the Product

Scaled back, pared down yet never compromising on safety, the Ventral Lite is the result of taking a minimalist approach at every stage of design and production. Every aspect of the helmet, from the adjustment system and straps to the liner and shell, are optimized for protection at the lowest weight possible.

Busy city streets and dim neighborhood roads, the Smith Express MIPS® bike helmet is all-in when it's commuting time. The advanced angled impact protection of MIPS® pairs with a clean, minimalist shape for a look that's cool and casual with the protection you want.
