We've managed to get our paws on the brand spanking new Troy Lee Designs Stage enduro helmet thanks to the guys at Saddleback and our Jon was excited enough to film taking it out of the box and talking about the new features on this lightweight and airy full facer.

• Buyer's guide to mountain bike helmets: get the best bike helmet for you
• Best mountain bikes for under £3,000 - capable trail bikes that won't break the bank
• Your complete guide to the Fox Shox fork range

So, come with us as we take a look at the new lid and run through the features, including the in-moulded shell and foam core that combines two different kinds of foam to provide protection against both high and low-speed impacts along with a MIPS liner.

As well as being liberally peppered in vents to keep plenty of air flowing to you, the fit is also highly customisable, with a number of different thickness pads included to allow you to get it just so against your neck, cheeks and crown.

Saddleback now has a complete range Stage helmets in stock, with six different colourways on offer and priced at £275.

We'll be giving this lid a proper separate test soon too, so check back for a full review and find out what we make of it once we've spent some time inside...
