Fox Racing V Core MIPS Motocross Helmet — Matte Black, DOT-Certified with Ventilation

Fox Racing V Core MIPS Motocross Helmet in Matte Black is a DOT-certified, MIPS-equipped off-road helmet built for riders seeking balanced protection, ventilation, and a secure fit.

The V Core blends shock-management technology, a lightweight shell, and purposeful airflow into a race-ready motocross helmet. Engineered for everyday trail rides and competitive laps alike, it pairs a polycarbonate/ABS shell with a multi-density EPS liner and a magnetic visor-release system to minimize secondary forces in crashes. With multiple shell and EPS size combinations, the design aims to fit a wide range of head shapes without excess bulk.

How does the V Core MIPS helmet protect my head during off-road crashes?

The helmet uses a multi-density EPS liner and MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) to address linear and rotational forces during angled impacts. The outer shell is built from a polycarbonate and ABS blend that disperses energy across the helmet surface, while the MIPS layer provides a small relative motion to help reduce rotational loads to the brain.

• MIPS slip-plane reduces rotational forces in oblique impacts.
• Multi-density EPS for staged energy absorption.
• Durable polycarbonate/ABS shell spreads impact energy outward.
• DOT (FMVSS 218) certification for road-legal safety standards.

Will this helmet stay comfortable and cool during long rides?

Ventilation is prioritized with nine front intakes and four rear exhaust ports that channel air across the head to help manage heat and moisture. The lightweight shell construction reduces fatigue, and the liner materials wick sweat while remaining breathable for extended sessions on the bike.

• Nine intake vents pull fresh air into the helmet cavity.
• Four exhaust vents expel warm air to maintain airflow balance.
• Moisture-managing liner for quicker drying between rides.
• Lightweight construction reduces neck strain over time.

How does the visor system improve safety and convenience?

The magnetic visor release is designed to hold under normal riding forces but detach under high-impact loads to help reduce neck stress in a crash. This mechanism also simplifies visor removal and reattachment for maintenance or quick adjustments on the trail.

• Magnetic mount secures visor during normal use and detaches on high impact.
• Reduces risk of visor-induced neck loading during collisions.
• Tool-free removal makes visor cleaning and replacement easier.
• Low-profile visor shape helps with goggle seal and field of view.

How should I choose the right size and fit for the V Core?

Fox Racing offers four shell sizes and five EPS liner sizes to dial in a close, secure fit across head shapes. Measure your head circumference and compare it to the brand size chart; when in doubt between two sizes, sizing up is generally recommended for comfort and proper helmet performance.

• Measure around brow and above ears for accurate circumference.
• Consult the Fox Racing size chart included in the product images.
• Four shell and five EPS sizes provide refined fit options.
• If between sizes, select the larger size for a safer, more comfortable fit.

Who is this helmet for? The Fox Racing V Core MIPS suits motocross riders who want a modern, ventilated helmet with rotational-impact mitigation and race-oriented features. It’s appropriate for recreational trail users, competitive riders needing DOT-compliant gear, and anyone who values a lightweight build combined with replaceable parts like the magnetic visor. If you require a snug, performance-oriented fit with proven safety technologies and broad ventilation, the V Core is designed to meet those needs.
