Defending Enduro World Series champion Richie Rude and teammate Cody Kelly have been seen wearing a new and very interesting helmet. The most recent shots posted to Rude’s Instagram account come from last weekend’s Big Mountain Enduro race in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The most striking feature of this new lid is the fact that it provides substantially more coverage than the Montaro. It comes down lower around the back of the head and wraps around the ears.
It’s essentially what you would expect to get if you combined the Monatro with Giro’s full-face helmet, the Cipher. And unless Giro is testing the waters of the moto trials market, that is exactly what this helmet is likely to be — a new full-face / half-shell convertible helmet.

What’s more, Giro appears to be resurrecting a name from the past for this yet-to-be-released creation. The use of “#switchblade” in social media posts by Giro's athletes is quite telling.
