Fox Racing V Core MIPS Motocross Helmet Matte White — DOT-Certified, Lightweight Ventilated

Built for riders who want modern impact management and a no-nonsense fit, the V Core combines a polycarbonate/ABS shell with multiple EPS sizes and MIPS technology to manage linear and rotational forces. The helmet meets FMVSS 218 / DOT standards, offers a magnetic visor release that detaches under extreme loads, and uses nine intake plus four exhaust vents to keep airflow moving when you push hard on trails or in the whoops.

How does the V Core MIPS improve on traditional motocross helmets?

The V Core adds a low-profile MIPS liner that is designed to reduce rotational forces during angled impacts, while a lightweight injection-molded shell manages energy distribution across the helmet. The result is a balance of protection, weight, and comfort without bulky added volume.

• MIPS liner for rotational force management during oblique impacts.
• Injection-molded polycarbonate + ABS shell for efficient energy dispersion.
• Four EPS sizes and four shell sizes for more precise fit across head shapes.

Will the visor stay in place while riding but release in a crash?

Yes — the helmet uses a magnetic visor release system engineered to remain secure under normal roost and trail forces but designed to detach when subjected to crash loads that could otherwise transfer dangerous torque to the neck. That gives riders the benefit of stable shading and a lower snag risk in an impact.

• Magnetic attachments keep the visor stable during regular riding and impacts from debris.
• Detaches under higher load to reduce neck-strain vectors in a crash scenario.
• Easy-to-replace visor components simplify repairs after an impact.

How breathable and comfortable is this helmet on long rides?

Ventilation is centered around nine intake and four exhaust ports that channel air through the EPS liner to help manage heat and moisture. A layered EPS offering multiple thicknesses across sizes, plus a performance liner and cheek pads, maintain comfort on long sessions.

• Nine front intake vents for directed airflow over the forehead and temples.
• Four exhaust vents to pull warm air away from the head and out the rear.
• Removable, washable liner and cheek pads for hygiene and fit tuning.

What do I need to know about sizing and certification?

The V Core is DOT certified to meet FMVSS 218 standards and is offered in four shell sizes with five EPS sizes for close, race-oriented fit options. Measure head circumference and consult the sizing chart; if you fall between sizes, it’s recommended to size up for comfort with goggles and neck protection.

• DOT / FMVSS 218 certified for on-road legal compliance where applicable.
• Four shell sizes plus five EPS sizes for a tailored, secure fit.
• If between sizes or unsure, choose the larger size for better goggle and comfort clearance.

Who is this for? The Fox Racing V Core MIPS in matte white is aimed at off-road and motocross riders who want contemporary safety features without added bulk — racers and weekend trail riders who value a secure, race-style fit, active ventilation, and the additional rotational protection MIPS provides. It’s suitable for riders who want a DOT-compliant helmet with user-friendly maintenance and replaceable visor parts.
