There are several things that should be expected when the helmets officially roll out of the assembly line, including a longer peak that can also raise the load; the mesh will also bid us goodbye as it will be replaced by the new O’Neal standard, a dark colored wire mesh; and finally, some parts of the helmet will also be changed to help make it durable enough to be hung from handlebars.

For one the clamp for the seatpost looks like a traditional micro-adjust seatpost but with a closer look you’ll see that the clamp has a pair of chromoly bolts laid together side-by-side. The only downside is that when installing the seatpost, it is apparent that you have to make sure that the clamps and the post are placed on tight.
