The new Fox Frame Pro and Flex-air Ascent riding gear bridge the gap into cross-country and, dare we say, gravel territory.
However, if you’re a Fox fan, you know they make quality gear and always ensure it has the Fox swagger. In our impressions, the new Fox Frame Pro helmet brings in the Fox style, melding Moto inspiration and XC ambitions. Believe it or not, the Frame Pro is Fox’s first visor-less helmet. Look only a little bit into that, though. The visor is still there in spirit. The Fox XC Frame has a slight visor built into the design, with an in-molded EPS foam.
Inside the Frame Pro is a MIPS liner with dual-density Varizorb EPS foam for improved impact protection. Fox chose a BOA fit system dial and cradle for secure protection and easy use with gloves. The helmet also features a removable and washable Ionic+ liner and a Fidlock SNAP helmet buckle. Our medium-sized helmet weighed in at 373 grams in size medium. This weight is slightly more than the 346g claimed.this spring. It had a cool, unique charisma, like a futuristic skate helmet.
On the road and gravel, the Frame Pro feels more like a mountain bike helmet than a road model for sure. The weight is solid, and the protection is plenty, but there is a bit of noise when the headwinds come. It’s not a super aerodynamic design that cuts like a knife, but Fox makes no claims that it is. The ethos of the Frame would be XC function with a tinge of trail style.
The magnet buckle is something I’m accustomed to and enjoy. Some manufacturers have moved away from them because of weight, but it aptly fits the Frame Pro style. Part of enjoying the ride is feeling fresh in your gear. The Frame Pro has a camo-like color, pops of red, and the subtle Fox logos hidden within the liner. I liked the overall presentation. The visor offered sun protection and acted as a fairing to allow more airflow near the forehead.
