Most of these mountain bike helmets are gender-neutral and can be worn by both men and women. However, it is possible to find a design tailored specifically for women, which may be identified by the smaller diameter of the ring or a distinct color scheme.
For certain female riders, a ponytail-compatible helmet is a must-have feature. For the most part, a women’s-specific build does not alter the shell’s safety technologies, cost, or basic contour.
