LEM Spyne Helmet

Standard EPS foam is designed to absorb linear impact energy, but the GelMotion system adds a proprietary gel-based layer that helps manage both linear and rotational forces. This dual-layer approach provides a more comprehensive safety profile during a crash.

Yes, the Fidlock magnetic buckle is designed for one-handed operation. It snaps into place automatically and is significantly easier to manipulate with gloves on compared to a traditional plastic side-release buckle.

The FS6 micro-adjustable system wraps around a larger portion of the head, including the sides and back, rather than just the rear. This creates a more secure, stable feel that prevents the helmet from shifting during aggressive trail riding.

While it features 15 vents, the Spyne is slightly warmer than some lightweight XC-specific helmets due to its robust construction and impact management system. It is best suited for all-mountain riding where protection takes priority over maximum airflow.

Yes, the LEM Link visor uses an indexing system that allows you to adjust its position on the fly. It clicks securely into place, so you can easily move it up to clear your field of vision or down to block the sun.

At 425 grams, it is on the heavier side for a half-shell helmet. This weight is a trade-off for the added protection of the GelMotion system and the multi-shell construction, which provides a very sturdy, confidence-inspiring feel.
