What are everyone's thoughts on the new Fox V3 helmet? I am in the market for a new lid and wanted to hear some real world feedback. My past helmets have been Arai's and Shoei's but I would like something with the newer rotational technology in it.
MIPS bought fluid inside tech, for only $3.3 million bucks. MIPS has been in the bulk of Fox's helmets since they began using rotational impact...so a long time MIPS customer, until recently when they went to Fluid.

If I were Mr Mips, and I found out a competitor technology-whether it was better or worse, was for sale for only $3m bucks, and that competitor took a major account (Fox) away from me, and I could STOP any further market share erosion, i'd buy them. It is said that there are 9 million helmets with MIPS in it (see source below), why not keep that ball rolling and buy ANY future tech from stealing market share? especially at such a bargain price, whether its good or bad-better or worse??

straight from the horses mouth.
So the new V4 will be the top of the line ... when it comes out.
As Tech 1 2 3 5 7 8 10 etc are model names.
New Fox V1 look like the New Fox V3
