Mountain Biking
Head impact detection built for the trail — protecting mountain bikers where speed, technical terrain, and hard landings are part of every ride.
Explore HIT for Mountain BikingCrashes happen.
What happens next
matters.
In mountain biking, pushing limits is part of the sport.
Speed, terrain, and progression all come with risk — and when crashes happen, knowing what to do next isn't always clear. HIT provides trusted, objective data after a head impact, supporting riders, parents, and coaches in making calmer, more informed decisions.
Not every crash
tells the full story.
In mountain biking, riders often:
The challenge isn't just the crash.
It's understanding what it means.
Clear, objective data
after head impacts.
HIT records head impacts during riding and presents the information in a simple, accessible way. It helps indicate whether an impact falls within expected ranges and creates a record of what occurred.
Knowing when to push and when to stop.
In mountain biking, performance and safety are closely linked. Repeated impacts and accumulated fatigue can affect decision-making, reaction time, and confidence on the bike.
Simple
by design.
HIT is designed to support clarity — not add complexity.
Used by leading mountain bike athletes.
HIT is proud to work with riders competing at the highest level of the sport.
"The margins between a podium and a top ten can come down to fractions of a second, so I'm always looking for marginal gains. Being able to understand how my body and brain are responding during training is really valuable. HIT helps you recognise when fatigue is building and know when to stop or reset."
Athletes who understand the reality of impacts — and the importance of making smarter decisions in training and competition.
