THE’s successful range of Carbon T2 helmets gets extended with the addition of two new designs a carbon effect finish “Knight” and a “Stay Strong” branded design.

Purchasing the stay strong design contributes towards the Stay Strong cause, In the midst of doing a double back-flip, Stephen Murray crashed while competing in the BMX Dirt Finals at the Dew Actions Sports Tour, in Baltimore, Maryland. It was quoted as being “one of the worst crashes seen in bmx” one that would ultimately be career ending, for this incredibility talented, 27 year old athlete. Stephen Murray’s brand STAY STRONG was set up to give him a creative outlet, and providing a source of income for his family in the coming years as he fights to recover from his injuries. What started as a simple tee shirt and charity bracelet has slowly developed into a more complete range and more importantly a positive life message. Thank you for following our story so far and we hope you continue on this journey with us and remember whatever obstacles life throws in your path STAY STRONG.

THE’s T2 Range is their flagship design, weighing in at roughly the 1kg mark, the technologically advanced helmet is lightweight and super strong. The super stylish T2 has a reduced silhouette, semi-integrated visor, 17 cooling vents and comes with an extra colour-matched visor and Helmet Bag.
