New helmet from Alpina: Pheox and Pheox L.E.
Alpina has adopted all the features of the top model Pheos for the Pheox. The new twin-shell system is also designed to increase safety.

Large ventilation slots, low weight and an aerodynamic shape. This is what the Pheox has in common with its big brother, the Pheos. However, unlike conventional helmets, the Pheox does not only have an outer shell. An additional second shell made from a special polycarbonate is designed to reinforce the helmet. The two outer shells are bonded together with the EPS core using the inmould process.

The width adjustment has also been revised. The height of the support system can now be adjusted via two joints on the side. Two wing-like pads at the back are designed to prevent pressure points at the back of the head. The Pheox weighs 225 grams and is available in three sizes (50 to 55, 55 to 59 and 58 to 63). The Pheox costs 139.95 euros. The bike version L.E. with shield is available for 149.95 euros and weighs 230 grams.

Stefan Frey is from Lower Bavaria and loves the mossy, loamy trails of the Bavarian Forest as much as the rugged rock of the Dolomites. For technical descents, he is prepared to tackle almost any ascent - under his own steam. As an accessories specialist, he is the first port of call for questions about equipment and add-on parts, while as head of copywriting he sweeps the language crumbs from the pages of the BIKE print editions.
