Last summer Sweet Protection got into the aero road helmet game, but what they didn’t mention then was that they were also developing an everyday road bike helmet. This new do-it-all Outrider combines the safety & tech of their top-end road & trail helmets – including standard or MIPS versions – with low weight & reliable ventilation, all in a more affordable package.

Sweet Protection debuted their first dedicated road helmet for the aero road sector with the Falconer and its removable magnetic aerodynamic covers. But many riders just want something a bit more simplified for everyday road riding. That’s where the Outrider comes in. It shares the same safety tech in a helmet that balances openness for ventilation into a compact and affordable shell for day-to-day riding.
Ventilation on the new Outrider uses generously open front facing vents paired to deep internal channels and a more closed top to move air across the head while maintaining some aero benefits. Sweet specifically targets airflow in and across the rider’s temples, as they claim this has the best cooling impact while still offering a high degree of protection in a crash.
