Ideal for riders who want a light, affordable helmet for cross-country trails, gravel detours, bike-path riding and general weekend use.
The Limar Scrambler is a mountain bike helmet built for riders who want dependable trail-ready coverage without jumping straight into a bulkier or more expensive lid. At 240 g in Medium and 250 g in Large, it stays light on the head, while the monoshell in-mould construction keeps the overall feel neat and low fuss. If you ride a mix of bike paths, gravel links and XC-style dirt, this is the sort of helmet that makes sense straight away.
What stands out here is the balance of comfort, airflow and simple adjustability. You get 22 air vents to help keep air moving, antibacterial washable pads that are easy to freshen up after sweaty rides, and Limar’s Competition+ Fit-System with height adjustment so you can dial in the helmet position more precisely. The removable visor is handy if you want a bit more shade on the trail, and you can take it off for a cleaner look on everyday rides.
For Australian riders, the practical part matters too: Limar states its helmets meet Australian AS/NZS standards, and the Scrambler’s size range covers 52-57 cm in Medium and 57-61 cm in Large. This is not the helmet we’d point you to if you specifically want a model with Mips or deeper enduro-style coverage, but if your priority is a light, versatile helmet for general MTB use at an accessible price, the Scrambler is an easy one to recommend.
Lightweight trail feel
At 240 g (M) and 250 g (L), the Scrambler keeps weight low for long rides and everyday comfort.
22-vent airflow
The 22 air vents help move heat out on slower climbs, warm commutes and mixed-terrain spins.
Competition+ fit adjustment
The Competition+ Fit-System uses rear adjustment, height tuning and webbing connection to help you get a secure, personalised fit.
Removable visor included
Run the visor for extra shade and trail style, or remove it for a cleaner look. Plugs are included when the visor is off.
Washable comfort pads
The antibacterial pads can be washed, which is handy in hot Australian conditions or if you ride regularly.
Bug-net protection
The built-in bug net adds a useful bit of protection against insects getting through the front vents.
Versatile MTB shape
This is an MTB helmet that suits recreational trail riding, fitness riding and general off-road use without feeling overbuilt.

What's included
Great for
Maybe not for
Available in M (52-57 cm) and L (57-61 cm). Measure around the widest part of your head in centimetres before ordering. The Competition+ fit system includes height adjustment for a more tailored hold. The visor is removable, and this model is best suited to standard half-shell MTB use rather than full-face or goggle-specific gravity setups.
vs Giro Fixture Mips II
The Giro Fixture Mips II is a strong rival if you want a value-priced MTB helmet with integrated Mips, reflective details and Giro’s Roc Loc Sport fit system.
vs Lazer Chiru
The Lazer Chiru sits in a similar recreational MTB space, with a fully integrated visor, 15 vents, adjustable head basket and optional rear LED compatibility.
vs Specialized Camber
The Specialized Camber is another affordable MTB option with Mips, a Headset SX fit system and broad size availability across five shell sizes.
Best suited to general MTB use
We’d position the Scrambler for XC, light trail and mixed-surface riding rather than hard enduro or jump-heavy riding. It’s the kind of helmet that feels right on everyday off-road loops and casual weekend rides.
A good option if weight bothers you
Some budget helmets start to feel bulky quite quickly. With its 240-250 g claimed weight, the Scrambler is a better fit for riders who notice neck fatigue or simply prefer a lighter lid.
Worth checking fit carefully
Helmet fit is always personal, so measure your head properly before buying. The Competition+ system with height adjustment gives you more tuning than a basic one-position cradle, which can make a real difference in comfort.
Know what level of protection system you want
If you specifically want a helmet with Mips, this is the point to decide that before you buy. The Scrambler is more about low weight, ventilation and straightforward value than ticking every premium safety-feature box.
