Go ahead and\ncount to one. Because one helmet, is all you\u2019ll ever need! The Bontrager\nCircuit MIPS helmet, adapts to all environments. From dark to light. Risky to\nsafe. The Circuit covers you like a hard-bitten security blanket. Its MIPS\ntechnology, and Blendr mounts prove the helmet to be a go-to for any type of\nrider. Not to mention its solid shape, which makes it durable under harsh\nconditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a Safe-Zone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new\nBontrager Circuit comes straight off the rack, with MIPS brain protection\ntechnology. This technology has been constructed specifically for the helmet\u2019s\nnew shape, and mimics the brain\u2019s way of protecting itself. Its thin profile\nalso keeps the bulky factor of the helmet down. Which will in-turn, shove\nperformance levels up! For those of you that are unfamiliar with MIPS\ntechnology should know that it\u2019s a master at compensating for angled impacts on\nthe head. Keeping you safe at all times and allowing the Circuit itself to\nhandle unpredictable impacts better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re\ndown-right impressed with the safety features Bontrager has managed to cram\ninto this helmet. The revolutionary BOA fitting system tightens the Circuit to\nyour head with force – giving you that secure feeling that any helmet should\nhave. The air vents are super wide to provide maximum cooling power. However,\nBontrager has not compromised on helmet integrity. The Circuit is solid\nall-around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Blend it!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Bontrager\u2019s\nsmart way of making sure everything integrates, is branded as their Blendr\nsystem. The Circuit features this same system for its light and camera mounts.\nWith a magnetic clip-on, clip-off way of attaching lights and cameras, the\nBlendr system lives up to its innovative name. You can run specially designed\nBontrager lights on these mounts, or any other compatible brand. And you can do\nall this, without pushing the 300-gram helmet up by much in weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      No Sweat.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The Circuit\nderives its cool, head venting design from the Velocis. And since the Velocis\nis super aerodynamic and built for the racing scene, the Circuit naturally follows\nin its foot-steps. The helmet felt airy and light on our heads. Even though in\nnumbers its slightly on the heavy side, due to the Blendr mounts. The only time\nwe really felt the weight of it, was when we attached lights to the helmet\nitself. Anyhow, the Circuit makes your head feel secure no matter what. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In terms of\nperformance, the Circuit gives its peers a real run for their money. Especially\nif you consider the price tag. The brand\u2019s AgION antimicrobial padding draws\nmoisture away from your skin. Which kept our head high and dry, and eliminated\nsweat dripping down on to our face. The strap also impressed us, with its light\ntouch and easy adjustment. No chaffing against our chin or neck, here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Verdict:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      One thing we concretely concluded about the Bontrager Circuit, is that is been skilfully thought-out with superb functionality features. Bontrager have given attention to every detail. And all that work put into the helmet\u2019s design has paid-off. Not just for keep riders safe and alive, but also keeping them smiling along the path they\u2019re on. Its proven to us that it\u2019s an exceptional, multipurpose helmet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
