Sporting 12 vents and design features that ensures the Maya is bang up to date. This includes the use of cone-shaped multi-density EPS foam and a core that features the lowest density foam that Kali has used to date. Kali explain their use of softer foam: “while helmets typically utilize a foam density between 100-120 g per cubit litre, the density in our Maya is around 70 g. The benefit to using this softer foam is that it dissipates impacts faster and more efficiently”.<\/p>\n

We only have US pricing to go by but at US$99 it’s looking good compared to the Troy Lee Design A1 $139, iXS Trail RS $119 and Bell Super 2 $135.<\/p>\n
