Fox Racing V Core MIPS Motocross Helmet Matte Black — DOT Certified, Magnetic Breakaway Visor

The Fox Racing V Core MIPS helmet is a DOT-certified motocross lid combining MIPS rotational-impact tech, a magnetic breakaway visor, and optimized ventilation for everyday dirt-bike riding.

Built for riders who demand protection without sacrificing comfort, the V Core MIPS uses a lightweight polycarbonate/ABS shell and multiple EPS sizes to deliver a tailored fit. It pairs impact-management features with thoughtful airflow and a visor engineered to detach in a crash, giving you confidence on tracks, trails, and in practice sessions.

How does the V Core MIPS enhance rider safety?

Safety is engineered into the helmet through multiple systems working together rather than a single feature. The included MIPS liner helps reduce rotational forces in angled impacts, while the multi-density EPS and sturdy shell disperse linear energy. The helmet also meets DOT FMVSS 218 standards for road-legal protection.

• MIPS rotational management liner to mitigate angular forces
• Multi-density EPS options across five sizes for impact absorption
• Durable injection-molded polycarbonate + ABS shell construction
• DOT FMVSS 218 certification for compliance with U.S. safety rules

What makes the visor system different for off-road use?

The V Core’s visor uses a magnetic release designed to stay in place under normal conditions and shed in a crash to reduce neck load. That balance keeps the visor functional against roost and branches while prioritizing safety during significant impacts. The magnetic system also simplifies reattachment after low-speed incidents.

• Magnetic visor mounts that detach under high stress to lower neck strain
• Secure fit for roost protection while riding off-road
• Quick reattach process without specialty tools

Will the helmet stay cool on long rides and hot days?

Ventilation is a key design point: nine intake vents and four exhaust ports channel air through the helmet to manage heat and moisture. The internal flow paths work with breathable liner materials to help riders remain comfortable during extended sessions. Removable, washable liners make freshening the helmet simple after sweaty rides.

• Nine front intake vents plus four exhaust outlets for active airflow
• Breathable liners that wick moisture and resist odor buildup
• Removable and washable interior pads for easy maintenance

How do fit and sizing work for different head shapes?

Fox Racing offers the V Core in four shell sizes and five EPS sizes so you can achieve a more precise fit than single-shell designs. The helmet runs true to size for most riders, but Fox recommends measuring head circumference and consulting the size chart. If you fall between sizes or prefer extra room for goggles or padding, choosing the larger option is advised.

• Four shell sizes with five EPS liner sizes for closer fit options
• Measure head circumference and compare to the provided size guide
• Recommendation to size up when between sizes or for additional comfort

Who is this for? The Fox Racing V Core MIPS helmet is aimed at recreational and competitive motocross riders seeking a modern, feature-rich helmet that balances protection, ventilation, and comfort. It’s a smart choice for trail riders, track racers, and daily-practice riders who want DOT certification, MIPS technology, and a user-friendly magnetic visor in a low-profile matte black finish.
