Bluegrass Vanguard Core MIPS – Full-Face MTB & eMTB Helmet

The Vanguard Core is a serious full-face helmet built for committed trail and enduro riders who refuse to compromise on protection. Dual-certified for downhill (ASTM F1952/2032-15) and eMTB use (NTA 8776), it earned a five-star rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab — one of the most respected independent helmet safety benchmarks available.

What It Does

• In-mould polycarbonate shell with EPS liner for a lightweight, protective structure
• MIPS C2 rotational management system, engineered to add protection in certain angled impacts
• Integrated, fixed chin bar for full-face coverage
• Fidlock magnetic buckle for faster, more reliable fastening
• Adjustable C-shaped cheek pads, supplied in two thicknesses, so you can dial in fit and retention
• ASTM F1952/2032-15 and NTA 8776 certified

Sizing & Fit

The Vanguard Core is available in three head circumference sizes. Measure around the widest part of your head above the ears to find your size:

• Small: 52–56 cm
• Medium: 56–58 cm
• Large: 58–61 cm

If you sit between sizes, the adjustable cheek pads can help fine-tune the fit — but sizing up is generally the safer call for comfort on longer rides.

Why Torque Collective Stock This

Full-face protection that also meets the NTA 8776 eMTB standard is still a relatively short list. The Vanguard Core's Virginia Tech five-star rating, MIPS C2 system, and dual certification make it a credible choice for riders stepping up their descending or riding a fast eMTB where impact energy is higher. The Fidlock buckle and twin cheek-pad thicknesses are practical workshop-friendly details too.
