Flex-On riding helmets

Flex-On riding helmets: protection, comfort and customisation

Developed by the French brand Flex-On, the Armet riding helmet is designed to combine protection, comfort and customisation options. Created for riders looking for a technical helmet for both everyday riding and competition, it stands out in particular for its adjustment system and interchangeable components.

Its ABS outer shell is combined with an EPS inner shell, designed to absorb part of the energy generated in the event of an impact.

Classic Armet or Armet MIPS: which one should you choose?

The two versions are identical except for one feature: the MIPS technology incorporated into the Armet MIPS. This system is designed to help reduce certain rotational forces that may be transferred to the head during some angled impacts. Beyond Flex-On, other riding helmets are also equipped with MIPS technology.

How to choose the right size for your Flex-On riding helmet

A correctly fitted riding helmet should remain stable when you move your head without putting excessive pressure on your skull. It should neither tip forwards or backwards nor move easily from side to side.

To determine your size, start by measuring your head circumference with a measuring tape, positioning it horizontally above your eyebrows and ears. This measurement provides a useful starting point, but the shape of your head will also affect the overall fit and feel of the helmet.

On the Armet, the fit is further enhanced by the L.A.C. liner (Liner Adjust Control), which allows the helmet to be adjusted more precisely to the rider’s head.

Comfort and ventilation of the Flex-On Armet riding helmet

Riders may wear their riding helmet for several hours at a time, particularly during competition days. Ventilation and a secure, comfortable fit are therefore especially important in addition to the level of protection. The Armet features a ventilation system designed to promote airflow inside the helmet. Its liner also contributes to a secure fit and provides comfort against the rider’s head.

The liner is removable: it can be taken out for cleaning or replaced when it becomes too worn, without having to replace the entire helmet.

How to customise a Flex-On Armet riding helmet

Choosing your Flex-On visor

The Flex-On helmet visor is interchangeable. This is a real advantage if you want to update the look of your helmet, adapt it to your style or simply replace a damaged visor without having to replace the entire helmet. To change it, simply remove the 6 screws and attach your new Flex-On visor.

The choice of size, texture and colour mainly depends on your personal preferences. A wider visor provides more shade for the face and gives the helmet a different silhouette, while a more classic shape offers a more understated look. Discover the different Armet visors available to find the shape and finish that best suit your Flex-On helmet.

Choosing your Flex-On helmet stickers

A magnetic sticker decorates the front of the helmet. In addition to the different visors, Flex-On helmet stickers can be changed quickly and as often as you like. Flex-On offers a wide range of colours, patterns, flags and finishes, allowing you to customise your helmet to suit your preferences and personal style.
