Description:
# A deeper rear profile EPS shell offers more comprehensive coverage than a traditional XC helmet.
# In-molding technology molds the outer shell onto the EPS foam. The outer shell covers and protects the EPS from dings and dents, and adds structural integrity with a molded wrap fit.
# Detox retention system.
# Visor and Spoiler.
# 20 strategically placed

Pros
everything, but if I had to pick one I would say the vent system cause I sweat like a hogg, it really keeps me very cool. I like the lower rear profile protection. It is light and it is also my 3rd helmet in 2 years.
Cons
none yet if any...
Review

Pros
I did a fly-over-the-bars-and-clear-off-the-bike endo several months back and the edge of my Flux helmet (just above my right brow) was the first part of me to hit the ground! Other than the nifty scar (when you're a 47 yr old female and your most prominent scar is from mountain biking and not a plastic surgeon, I think you should be proud of it) my head -- and brains -- are unharmed. Really, this is what *really* matters in a helmet -- you can crash-land on your head and walk away intact.
Cons
Front visor could be a little longer in order to better block sunlight. Unless that would interfere with the performance, which I wouldn't want!
Review

I ordered it online for $59 and am very happy with the decision to get it. The vents are great and it is very comfortable to wear all day. I am consistantly impressed with Fox's quality of their products and design. For those riders looking for a new quality helmet I think you will be very happy with your decision.

Review
Love this helmet! It's super comfortable and really easy to adjust. It fits snug on your head without having to really tighten the chinstrap. Good coverage on the back of the head as well. All around great helment.
Pros
Coverage, fit, and style
Cons
Does not shed sweat very well, retention system
Review
Two things that standout about this helmut is that if fits like a glove and that it vents your head extremely well. However, on the flip side it sheds sweat down my face and glasses and I have had to replace the detox retention. having said that the positives far out weigh the negitives. I now wear a head band when I ride and after I replaced the retention band I have had no issues with the fit. I play hockey during the winter and the helmut fits and feels like my hockey helmut...Put it on and forget it.

I took a nasty head hit a few days ago. My CT scan was negative. The helmet saved me! I lost consiousness breifly, but made the ride down the 1mountain. Thanks, Fox Flux
Pros
This helmet has a snug fit that stays in place, even over the roughest terrain. I looks sweet and is built tough.
Cons
None.
Review
If you want to protect that brain of your's, get this helmet.
Pros
Fit, venting
Cons
The visor isn't adjustable.
Review
Great trail helmet, Fox raised the bar on trail helmets on this one.
Pros
color stlye coverage
Cons
I bought the biggest size and it was to small. Why dont they make MTB stuff for the larger bikers out there?????
Pros
Looks, very cool. Big vents, keeps you cool in summer. Easy adjustments. Full coverage of protection.
Cons
Bigger than many helmets. Looks a little big on your melon. Full contact points all the way around your head. Visor does not come low enough to really help block the sun, with or without it on.
Review
This is a cool lid. I actually could not decide on which color so I ordered 2, the sand camo and the grey/black camo. When I race I don't wear it but go with my smaller, lighter Specialized lid.
