Description
Demon Podium X MIPS® Helmet 710g. Four Certifications| MTB
710 grams. Four independent certifications. One helmet for every gravity sport you ride.
The Podium X pairs MIPS® rotational protection with a custom-conforming EPS liner and a tough multi-impact shell — certified to CPSC, CE EN 1078, ASTM F1952 (Downhill MTB), and ASTM F1447 for riders who move between snow and dirt.
Features
- MIPS® rotational protection — The Multi-directional Impact Protection System adds a low-friction layer between the shell and liner that lets the helmet rotate 10–15mm on angled impacts, redirecting the rotational force most real crashes involve.
- EPS foam liner — Conforms to the shape of your head for a secure, custom-feeling fit, absorbing and dissipating impact energy through controlled compression.
- Tough outer shell — Built for repeated impacts and abrasion across a full season of aggressive riding.
- Featherweight — 710g — All-day comfort without cutting the protection stack.
- Four independent certifications — CPSC, CE EN 1078, ASTM F1952 (Downhill MTB), and ASTM F1447, covering recreational snow through aggressive downhill MTB.
- Removable visor — Adjust sight lines for terrain and light, or remove for a clean profile.
- Washable liner & cheek pads — Removable and machine washable to keep the helmet fresh all season; swap the liner and ride again next year.

MIPS® works by allowing the helmet shell to rotate independently of your head by 10–15mm on angled impact — absorbing rotational force rather than transferring it. Standard helmets handle linear impacts. MIPS handles the crashes.
The EPS liner conforms to your head's specific shape for a custom, pressure-point-free fit that doesn't shift during aggressive riding. The tough outer shell handles repeated impacts and abrasion across a full season — built for riders.
One helmet for every discipline — CPSC and CE EN 1078 for snow, ASTM F1952 for downhill MTB, ASTM F1447 for recreational riding. Snow to dirt, resort to bike park, same lid. Four certifications. No compromises between seasons.

Frequently asked questions
What does MIPS actually do and do I really need it?
MIPS — Multi-directional Impact Protection System — addresses a specific type of injury risk that standard helmet testing doesn't fully account for: rotational force from angled impacts. Most crashes don't happen straight on. When your head hits a surface at an angle — catching an edge, glancing off a tree, sliding out on hardpack — the skull rotates. That rotational force is linked to traumatic injury. A standard helmet absorbs the linear component of the impact well. MIPS adds an independent low-friction layer between the outer shell and the EPS liner that allows the helmet to rotate 10–15mm relative to your head on impact, absorbing and redirecting that rotational force. Do you need it? If you ride terrain where angled impacts are possible — which is essentially any terrain — yes. MIPS is now the standard that independent helmet safety researchers, neurologists, and sports medicine professionals point to as a meaningful advancement in protection. The Podium X includes it as standard, not as an upgrade.
What certifications does the Podium X have and what do they cover?
The Podium X carries four independent certifications covering both snow sports and mountain biking: CPSC — U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standard for bicycle helmets; required for legal sale of bike helmets in the United States. CE EN 1078 — European standard for bicycle helmets and for roller sports/skateboarding; widely recognized for snow sports use across EU markets. ASTM F1952 — Downhill Mountain Biking standard; one of the most demanding helmet certifications available, specifically designed for the high-speed, high-consequence impacts of DH MTB racing and aggressive trail riding. ASTM F1447 — Standard for recreational non-motorized wheeled sports helmets; covers skiing, snowboarding, cycling, and skating at recreational and intermediate levels. Together these four certifications mean the Podium X has been independently tested and verified for every discipline it's designed for — snow and dirt, recreational and aggressive.
Can I use the Podium X for both snowboarding and mountain biking?
Yes — multi-sport certification is the Podium X's core design brief. The ASTM F1952 downhill MTB certification means it has been tested to one of the most demanding standards in recreational helmets, making it genuinely appropriate for aggressive mountain biking — not just labeled as multi-sport and hope for the best. Combined with CPSC, CE EN 1078, and ASTM F1447 covering snow and recreational riding, the Podium X is independently certified for both environments. The removable visor adjusts for different terrain and lighting conditions across disciplines, and the EPS liner provides the same protection whether you're hitting hardpack on a ski slope or a rock face on a trail. One helmet, one certification stack, both seasons. If you ride both snow and dirt seriously, the Podium X eliminates the need to buy and store two separate helmets.
How do I clean and care for the Podium X helmet?
The liner and cheek pads are removable and washable — hand wash in cool water with mild detergent and air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry; heat and mechanical agitation can degrade the foam padding in the liner. For the outer shell and EPS, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap — do not use solvents, aerosol sprays, or petroleum-based products, which can degrade the EPS foam and compromise the shell's structural integrity. Replace the helmet after any significant impact even if there is no visible damage — EPS foam compresses permanently on impact and will not provide the same protection on a subsequent hit. Store the helmet away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can degrade both the EPS and the MIPS liner over time.
