FOX FLIGHT YOUTH HELMET BLACK
The Multi-Sport Essential for Next-Gen Progression.
The Fox Youth Flight Helmet takes the classic "skate-style" silhouette and re-engineers it for the higher speeds and bigger impacts of youth BMX, dirt jumping, and trail riding. This isn't just a standard lid; it’s a high-performance shell designed to sit lower on the head for a more secure, confidence-inspiring fit. Whether your grom is hitting the local skatepark, racing BMX, or commuting on an e-scooter, the Youth Flight provides the robust protection needed for riders who are constantly pushing their boundaries.
The interior of the Flight has been updated with a focus on both safety and comfort. By utilising a single-density EPS construction, Fox has created a helmet that is exceptionally tough while remaining light enough to prevent neck fatigue during long sessions. For the "Pro" variant, this protection is further enhanced with a MIPS liner and a magnetic Fidlock buckle, but even the standard Youth Flight remains a standout for its superior fit and finish compared to generic "big box" helmets.
Key Features
MIPS™ Impact Protection: (On Pro models) Specifically designed to reduce rotational forces in the event of an angled crash, protecting the developing brain.
Redesigned Interior Shape: The helmet sits lower on the head than previous versions, improving both the aesthetic and the overall stability during active movement.
Multi-Sport Versatility: Fully certified and ready for BMX, dirt jumps, skateparks, e-scooters, and pump tracks.
Single-Density EPS: A lightweight and durable foam liner that provides reliable energy absorption for the types of impacts common in skate and dirt riding.
Dual Comfort Liners: Includes two sets of anti-microbial liners, allowing you to swap them out for a fresh set once the first pair gets sweaty or for fine-tuning the fit.
360° Fit System: (On Pro models) A full-wrap retention system that allows for micro-adjustments to ensure the helmet stays perfectly positioned without being overly tight.

✅ Why This IS For You
The All-Rounder Kid: If your child jumps between a BMX, a skateboard, and a scooter, this is the one helmet that safely covers every discipline.
The Style-Conscious Grom: Perfect for kids who want the pro "dirt jump" look in a clean, stealthy matte black finish.
Active Park Riders: Ideal for those spend their weekends at the skatepark or pump track, where a traditional road helmet doesn't provide enough rear-of-head coverage.
❌ Why This May NOT be for you
High-Intensity Road Racing: For competitive road cycling in the summer heat, a highly-vented road lid like the Lazer Tonic will offer more airflow.
Technical Enduro/DH: If they are hitting steep, rocky mountain bike descents, a full-face helmet like the Youth Rampage is the smarter choice for jaw and face protection.
BFC Pro Tip
The Youth Flight is an "OSFM" (One Size Fits Most) helmet designed for a 48cm to 52cm head circumference. We always recommend measuring your child’s head just above the eyebrows before purchasing; if they are already at 52cm, we suggest moving up to the Small Adult size to ensure they have room to grow. Because this is a "bucket-style" helmet, it’s important to use the included thicker or thinner liners to get a snug fit—the helmet should not rock forward or backward when the chin strap is secured!
