Trajecta is better than Proframe, more equivalent to the Proframe RS

Better fit?
Better experience?
I don’t care about features that come up in a marketing comparison. I’m starting from the assumption that they both adequately protect a head.

I do believe the dual layer foam in Trajecta and RS is important to manage energy in a way the certifications don't measure.

I’m debating buying a 100% Trajecta helmet to replace my Proframe. $75 with double discounts is hard to ignore. Anyone have insight on this?

I know helmet fit is 110% personal, but the front of the Trajecta is padded weird with its MIPS knockoff system and creates a hot spot around the brow for me. I've seem a few other reviews bring it up too. It has these little rubber 'eraser' heads that poke thru the liner and are supposed to let the helmet roll vs. jank your neck I guess, but in the front they are riding on your skin and annoy the shit out of me.
Kind of sucks 'cause it seems awesome otherwise.

100%'s Smartshock is very similar to Leatt's 360 Turbine. They offer rotational dissipation from glancing hits as MIPS does to reduce TBI (concussion) and also do something MIPS cannot: offer very low speed multimpact energy absorption while leaving multidensity foam as single impact absorption for low/medium/high energy impact.

I was never a fan of the original Proframe. It was a light breathable helmet that could pass a certification, nevermind the realworld protection against TBI. I had a friend get a very serious TBI in one from a low speed crash. I personally preferred the Leatt MTB Enduro 4 or the Bell Super DH which are convertibles. Kali (a great safety focused company) made a light breathable FF was nicer than the original Proframe. The Trajecta and Proframe RS finally bring modern helmet safety tech to the lightweight breathable fixed FF.

Having survived a very high speed glancing head impact (25-30mph) with only a very minor concussion when that same crash resulted in a scapula fracture (indication of very very high energy wreck), I am a huge believer in the elastomer rotational energy dissipation and multidensity foam. I was wearing a Leatt MTB Gravity 8.0 which is the only helmet I trust when riding lifts. It has 4 foam densities and 360 turbine.

I recently cut 3 crash retired helmets: Leatt MTB Gravity 8.0, POC Coron Air Spin, POC Cortex DH MIPS (the original pinnacle of DH safety tech) and it was interesting to note the internal design differences. I'd recommend strongly against the Coron due to minimally protected sharp edges around the forehead that specifically injured a friend in a crash with a huge laceration from the helmet.

I'm serious and obsessive about helmets.

While we're on the 100% topic - has anyone of the round head shape persuasion tried on 100% helmets? I really have yet to find a bike helmet that fits my round-ass ("Asian fit") head well. The original Fox Proframe probably comes closest, which is funny because their half-lids couldn't fit me worse.

That is a good bike for not a lot.

Anyone know of good deals on carbon wheels? I need to replace the Roval Traverse SLs that were on my stolen Smuggler. So ultimately I'm hoping to find a sub-1800g wheelset that's ~$800'ish.

Elite wheels?
