At first glance, the Scope looks like a normal all-mountain or enduro helmet. On closer inspection and on your first ride, however, you notice advantages that are not obvious. In addition to the tested standard version in Army Moss orange, there are three other colors to choose from. There is also a white model with the Mips system. Both are available in two sizes.

Processing & details

TSG skilfully combines colors, matt and glossy surfaces and gives the Scope a very unique look. The helmet adapts well to the shape of your head thanks to the rotating wheel and the height-adjustable rear headrest. The padding can be easily removed and is washable. Hidden underneath is one of the helmet's highlights, a recess in the EPS foam. The straps of a helmet lamp or camera mount can be routed through this channel without them pressing uncomfortably on the head. The visor can be moved into three positions. These are more "crisp" and precise than on almost any other helmet. A goggle can be easily parked in the top position of the visor during breaks.

In use

When you put the scope on, it feels as if you are putting it over your head. If you close the adjustment wheel by half a turn, it fits snugly without pinching. It stays in place even when riding wildly. There are no noticeable pressure points. The ventilation is well designed and has 20 openings. During long climbs in high temperatures, the heat escapes easily through the upper holes. The lower edge of the helmet is fully lined with hard plastic, which protects the EPS foam from dents and keeps it looking good for longer.

Conclusion

TSG has done its homework and created an enduro helmet with the Scope that can keep up with the competition and scores points thanks to the specially created channel for helmet mounts. Given the right head shape, this helmet fits like no other. After four months of continuous use, it shows hardly any signs of wear. Just a few scratches that testify to the pilot's wrong choice of track through the undergrowth.

Recommendation

The Scope model from Swiss manufacturer TSG can generally be recommended to all trail riders, as it showed no weak points.
