This week Chipps caught up with the man behind the design, Craig Glaspell AKA Stikman. There’s certainly more going on with helmet technology these days than at least we realised as you will come to learn in this fascinating podcast episode.

Stikman in action!


We can promise you that in the next 30 minutes you will learn a great deal about helmet design, production delays, global distribution and Troy Lee himself.

Mark Alker

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
