The Reebok 11K Helmet has a thinner profile than the previous model which was the Reebok 8K model. Reebok has done a lot of research about what needs to go into the helmet to make it more protective and they found out that 90% of the hits are low impact hits which could be just as harmful as the big impact hits. So what they did was use the EPP liner but they used a softer version of liner to absorb those low impact hits. They also made the liner a flexible liner so it’s not attached to the shell this will allow a closer fit to the head when the helmet is adjusted to offer better protection.  Also they added the comfort pads which they have used in the past. To improve the fit they have a Microdial II which has a 360⁰ strap that allows it to really pull the helmet together around your head so it will fit a lot of different head shapes. The Reebok 11K Helmet features tool less adjustment with side clips to allow you to expand or contract to fit your desired size. The Reebok 11K Helmet has removable ear pieces and ear loops. The ventilation on the Reebok 11K Helmet consists of vents on top and front and ports in the back to allow maximum airflow. Available in a helmet and cage combo it comes with the Reebok 11K cage. The Reebok 11K Cage features a flat wire design to improve visibility. The chin cup is a floating chin cup with a much thicker padding then before, real dense foam with a gel cushion and moisture channels to get the sweat out. You attach the Reebok 11K Cage to the helmet with clips and can it can be adjusted while clipped on to the helmet to really get the fit needed for maximum protection.
