The Future of MTB Helmets?
Inside Kali’s Radical New Full-Face | Brad Waldron
August 18, 2026
Most full face helmets are built for downhill punishment first and trail comfort second. In this episode, Kali CTO and co-founder Brad Waldron explains why that tradeoff is backwards — and how the new Kali Crew is built to give enduro and mountain bike riders more protection without making every climb feel miserable.We get into the engineering behind the helmet, including in-mold construction, softer energy-dissipating materials, and the titanium chin bar design. If you care about MTB, enduro, helmet safety, and the technology pushing bike protection forward, this conversation is packed with practical insight.
