Know what it isn't: there's no MIPS here and the cert is standard CPSC — nothing extra for 28 mph Class 3 speeds. If you want MIPS in the same style family, Thousand's Chapter MIPS is the move.

The Bike Cave Verdict

Ben's Take

Gear-pick status: picked from specs and its track record, not a Cave crash test. The Heritage 2.0 exists because of one true thing: the helmet you'll actually wear beats the fancy one hanging in the garage. This is the best-known good-looking commuter lid there is, and the details are genuinely smart — a hidden channel under the logo badge lets you thread your lock through the shell and leave it with the bike, and the magnetic buckle clips one-handed without pinching your chin. City streets and bike paths, great. Fast Class 3 commuting every day — I'd want more helmet.

  • One-hand magnetic fastener, no chin pinch
  • Dial fit system + better venting than the original
  • Pop-in visor and a magnetic taillight mount point
  • 20+ colorways, Speedway Creme to Keith Haring

👎 What to know
