Reviews & Tips
1. Full Missile Tech specification — MIPS, ERS, 22 vents, multiple shell and EPS sizes — in a clean matt black finish
2. Multiple shell and EPS size options allow genuine fit precision regardless of graphic preference
3. Matt black finish suits riders who want a purposeful, understated aesthetic on a serious downhill helmet
1. At £399.99 it’s the same investment as the Racer with the same specification — the choice is purely aesthetic
2. Full-face downhill helmet weight adds to the climb effort on longer trail loops
3. Matt finish may show wear marks more visibly than a gloss or graphic alternative over time
The Missile Tech Solid Black Matt delivers the complete Missile Tech specification in a clean, no-graphic presentation. The carbon and fiberglass outer shell strikes the right balance of strength and lightness, the 22-vent system handles maximum airflow alongside a removable chin air vent, and MIPS technology provides rotational impact protection. The Emergency Release System (ERS) allows quick and safe extraction, and the patented visor release is engineered to stay mounted on the most demanding terrain while providing the right resistance in a significant impact.
Available in two outer shell sizes and three EPS sizes, the Missile Tech Solid allows riders who prefer a clean aesthetic to get the full fit precision of the multi-size Missile Tech system. Optional thicker cheek pads allow further fine-tuning, and the wide aperture accommodates a variety of goggles. Removable and washable Polygiene anti-bacterial lining keeps things fresh, and D ring closure gives a secure fastening.
