Have you seen the 2021 Troy Lee bike helmet range yet? Yes that’s right, there’s a stack of new D3 and D4 colourways from TLD and, it’s probably no surprise but, they look pretty sweet. Don’t take my word for it, check them out for yourself.

D4 Carbon

D4…Redefining Everything

The Daytona, D2 and D3 series of helmets redefined the marriage between technology, safety and artistic design. The new Troy Lee Designs D4 is changing the game again.

Using TeXtreme® Spread Tow carbon fiber reinforcements in the shell of the new TLD D4 Carbon helmet has helped pare down the weight of the full-face helmet by almost 50 grams without sacrificing strength. Despite the loss in weight, we were able to strategically add EPS to increase strength and durability. Integrated MIPS Brain Protection System designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts to the head. The new TLD D4’s package is rounded out with lightweight titanium D-rings, collarbone suspension system and quick release XT2 3D cheek pads and X-Static washable liner.
