Gravity 5.0 Helmet | Push Limits, Not Luck

I put this on, and it just felt super light, which was lovely. It feels as light as my trail lid. It has great visibility, and I love how you can adjust the Boa to lock it in nice and tight. For what a chunky, beefy helmet it looks, it really feels nice and light.” – Josh ‘Ratboy’ Bryceland

You live for moments like this. Light flows through the trees, and dances on the ground. The only sounds are the whispers in the wind, the thrum of your tyres on the loam and the whirr of your freewheel. Speed as true freedom. Everything else fades away – you stop noticing what you’re wearing and focus completely on the ride. Pure experience. No distractions. Let’s go.

The Gravity 5.0 raises the bar in lightweight full-face design. Built for fast, aggressive riding when fit, airflow, and confidence matter most.

Custom comfort

This is next-level full-face comfort. The BOA® FS2 Fit System delivers a precise, dialed fit, while adjustable cheek pads let you fine-tune the feel forward or back. The Fidlock buckle makes putting the helmet on or off a snap, even with gloves. Need to tailor your fit even more? Multiple liner and cheek pad thickness options are also included, so you can customize your helmet to you.

Lightweight and ventilated

At just 710 grams (size medium), with exceptional airflow, the Gravity 5.0 changes how a full-face can feel on the trail. You’ll keep it on all ride – no more helmet banging around your handlebars on the climb.  

Built for bigger hits

The faster you go, the harder you crash – more speed demands more protection. The Gravity 5.0 gained a 5-star Virginia Tech rating and is certified for downhill (ASTM DH) and higher-speed impacts (NTA 8776 e-bike standard), giving you the confidence you need to push your limits. Should things go south, 360° Turbine EVO technology helps reduce rotational forces and manage low-speed impacts, while dual-density foam handles bigger hits. More confidence, more fun.  

Adaptable for your ride

Conditions change – your helmet should too. The removable mouthpiece cover lets you choose between maximum airflow or extra debris protection. When the weather turns, keep your goggles clear by clipping on the semi-transparent visor extender for extra coverage without sacrificing visibility.
