Crossride SL Elite Helmet

Sometimes it's tough to tell when you're ready for a new helmet as the miles slip by in your old, comfortable standby. But, after more than a few unexpected crashes courtesy of roots, rocks, disguised branches, and maybe some wandering wildlife, your helmet has more than done its job protecting your head, and it's earned its retirement. Upgrading to a featherweight XC helmet like Mavic's Crossride SL Elite Helmet will remind you of just how old and clunky your old helmet was feeling, with a light, aerodynamic design made with XC races and trail rides in mind.

Mavic takes its history in road cycling to XC with the Crossride SL, constructing it to provide extended coverage to the back of the head with an assortment of cooling vents and a sleek shape that won't slow you down on singletrack. Inside the helmet, plush foam padding allows you to make minor fit adjustments, and Mavic thoughtfully included mesh behind the vents with the goal of keeping bugs, bees, and painful small rocks from making their way to your scalp and costing you valuable time while you race. When making fit adjustments, the dial on Mavic's Ergo Hold SL Retention System makes customization easy, so you can be sure the Crossride SL Elite will stay firmly in place once you pedal away from the start line.

  • Ultra-light, aerodynamic helmet for XC and trail rides
  • Retention system offers easy adjustments and light comfort
  • 37.5 technology in the padding ensures wicking performance
  • Removable visor lets you adapt to the day's conditions
  • Tons of ventilation keeps you cool in hotter weather
  • Anti-mosquito mesh shields you from bugs during the ride

Want to order another

  • Familiarity: I've used it several times
  • Fit: True to size
  • Size Bought: L

I was in a bike accident (cause unknown; lost consciousness, but based on the impact, I suspect I was hit by a car). The helmet developed a small crack as a result of the impact, but did its job of keeping me alive. It seems to be of good quality, but I want to be safe, so I will not use the helmet again.

I want to replace the helmet, but it is out of stock in the color and size that I want. It is amazing how hard it is to find a helmet in the color, size and style that I like, without paying double or tripe the amount of this helmet.

I like the visibility that the helmet gives me. It also has a small, but effective sun visor in the front.

Customer service is fast and efficient and one of the 'gearheads" placed me on a waiting list.

Made in China

  • Fit: True to size

I researched helmets for days before deciding on Mavic. There is no where I could find Made in China in helmet ads and listings. I received my Crossride SL Elite only to find Made in China on the interior label. It’s designed by Mavic. A little transparency would be nice!

Fits true to size... very comfortable

  • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Highly recommend for the price. Helmet fit true to size and is very adjustable both on head circumference and the harness. Brim is not excessively large making it easy to see farther down your line without having to lift your head much

Returning it

  • Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

The helmet fits well for the moment I tried it on. the color: white morea is really a teal or aquamarine. The color is a lot more feminine than I expected (thought brighter green) and the box is labelled "W" for women. I didn't think ti was a women's helmet when I ordered it. The helmet itself seems fine, just the color.

Looks good. Feels good!

  • Fit: True to size
