Ride with confidence in the Forefront 3 Mips Helmet—advanced safety, airflow, and comfort

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


“This helmet is a game-changer for aggressive trail riding. The Mips system and Koroyd coverage provide unbeatable protection, while the BOA Fit System ensures a perfect fit. The added ventilation keeps me cool on tough climbs, and the goggle integration is a great bonus.”


From technical descents to flowy singletrack, the Smith Forefront 3 Mips Mountain Bike Helmet keeps us protected and comfortable through every ride. Designed with advanced safety features like a complete internal roll cage, full Koroyd coverage, and Mips technology, this helmet reduces rotational forces and absorbs impact to keep us confident on the trail. Ventilation is key when pushing our limits, and the Forefront 3 delivers with 20 fixed vents and AirEvac technology, which keeps goggles and sunglasses fog-free even on sweaty climbs. The BOA Fit System provides micro-adjustable comfort, and the adjustable visor and eyewear storage channels ensure seamless integration with our gear.
