 TSG protects your head – and wallet
Known for its quality – but reasonably-priced – helmets and body armour, Swiss protectioneer TSG has decided to jump into the Enduro fray. Unlike so many others, however, TSG’s brightly coloured, peaked, and spoilered Substance comes at a price that many riders will be able to justify.
While plastics used likely wouldn’t pass muster on a $200 lid, at $70 the TSG’s peak, spoiler, and extensive shell coverage certainly look the part. While the new model is not yet on distributor Ison’s website, previous versions sold for £45.

“Enduro” helmet. FFS.
What is an “enduro helmet”? Looks pretty much like a normal trail helmet
Looks like a Fox Flux?
Does the spoiler (very apt in this case) easily come off?
“the TSG’s peak, spoiler, and extensive shell coverage more than pass muster”
So whose list of muster-passing requirements for a helmet includes a spoiler?
Looks like a duck
I’ve got the previous incarnation of the substance & it’s a nice helmet (if a little sweaty). No spoiler though thankfully, what’s the point!? Looks like one more thing to get snagged on low branches :-$
Not really into the blue and orange colour scheme, agree that it looks like a duck!
I like the blue orange combo – reminds me of the Le Mans Gulf Porsche’s…
The blue/orange thing is something you either get (because you like those Gulf Porsches/GT40s) or you don’t. 🙂
Don’t want to say it too loudly but… I like it. not in blue/orange but it looks like it has big vents but still good protection. Might go buy one when they’re out.
+1 on the Gulf colors. I spent a long winter on the trainer watching the film Le Mans over and over. To me, that 917 is beautiful- and now linked (in my mind) with cycling.
