Smith Optics Rover MTB Cycling Helmet

What are the new helmets from Smith Optics?

Last year Smith launched the Route and Rover helmets, slightly more budget-friendly lids than the Forefront and Overtake, which only featured Koroyd along the sides of the helmet, similar to the Session. The new Venture appears to be the MTB focused Rover without the Koroyd.

What does the Smith network bike helmet do?

Designed for whatever you get into on two wheels, the Smith Network is our versatile, shred-ready bike helmet. Safety techs like Koroyd® and MIPS® offer protection and enhanced energy absorption should you need it. When the sun is blazing and you’re heating up, the ventilation system keeps air flowing and your eyewear fog-free.

What kind of helmet is the Smith Rover?

The Smith Rover and Route helmets are designed to be middle of the road bike helmets. These helmets are meant to be used as your everyday helmet, meaning you’re not going to be paying the price of race helmets that are $200+.

This is another really cool bike helmet from Smith Optics. Just as we saw with the previous Smith Optics helmet design, this model comes with a Koroyd internal tubing style liner. Once again, this makes for a very high quality liner that provides excellent levels of rider ventilation.

EPS foam has been used in the internal liner of this helmet for impact protection. Smith Optics have chosen to go for a zonal impact protection system, designed to offer better protection where and when it is needed most.
