Paid partnership with SCOTT Sports Africa
Head injury prevention or just risk reduction have made the wearing of helmets non-negotiable on any ride and not only in races. Every bicycle rider, no matter how experienced or skilled, faces the chance of a fall on every single ride.
SCOTT Sports has taken the simpler-is-better approach to helmets. While packed with the best technology, including PC In-Mold Construction, HALO Fit System, MIPS® Brain Protection System and Aero Optimisation, SCOTT helmets are light, optimally ventilated and sleek. They also offer a wide range of colours to ensure your helmet matches your own personal taste.
SIZING
Because a good fit is vital for optimum protection, you’ll find helpful size guide links on each of the SCOTT helmet website pages. All SCOTT helmets are adjustable, from easy fit systems for juniors to high-end options such as the Halo system, which can be tightened with a dial to precisely cradle the head.
RANGE
SCOTT offers helmets for men, women and children and across the various cycling disciplines. From light, aero and ventilated for XCO, Gravel and Marathon racing, to fuller cranial coverage models for Trail riding and Enduro, to super sleek and aero for Road and Time-trial racing as well as Triathlon.
CRASH REPLACEMENT POLICY
Should you crash and damage your SCOTT helmet, SCOTT Sports Africa will give you a replacement of the same model (or similar if out of stock) at 50% of the current retail price. As with any warranty, there are some Ts & Cs.
“SCOTT’S #NOSHORTCUTS approach is evident in our helmet design, especially when it comes to rider safety by elevating our innovation, technology and design. South African cyclists and mountain bikers have come to trust SCOTT helmets, which satisfy the full range of cycling disciplines that are popular here at prices that suit all budgets,” said Joggie Prinsloo, SCOTT Sports Africa Brand Manager.
