Good to know

Always measure your child's head circumference before choosing a helmet – it should sit level on the head and feel snug without being uncomfortable. The integrated insect net helps keep bugs out during summer rides, and the removable visor can be detached when not needed. With its grey/yellow colourway, the Flash Inmold X8 is a practical, safety-conscious choice for young cyclists.
