Smith Hardline MIPS '26

Built for riders who charge steep descents, bike park jump lines, and technical downhill terrain, the Smith Hardline MIPS combines advanced impact protection with race-ready comfort and integration. Its lightweight composite shell pairs complete KOROYD® coverage with the Mips® Safety System to help absorb energy from impacts while reducing rotational forces during angled crashes. Developed with downhill progression in mind, the Hardline incorporates a collarbone impact protection zone and emergency-ready quick-release cheek pads for added confidence when terrain gets rough. Extensive fit customization, fog-managing airflow, and seamless goggle compatibility make this helmet ready for long park laps, race runs, and aggressive freeride sessions.
