Tested: Urge Supacross Helmet (Product Review)

Overall Review
Review by Josh Cady // Action photo by Xotio Media The Supacross is a 14-vent cross country/trail helmet from the French company Urge. While not new to the helmet scene, this is Urge’s first foray into protecting the brain-housing part of cross country riders.

A number of years ago there was a shift when companies like Giro began to add helmets to their line...
