TSG Pass 2.0

Ten years after the launch of our first full-face downhill skateboard helmet, we provide speed demons all over the globe with a brand-new lid. Meet the TSG Pass 2.0, our next-generation incarnation of the legendary Pass downhill helmet.

Anyone pointing it down a mountain pass or speed track on a skateboard needs serious head protection. Hence, the Pass 2.0 was created with next-level standards in design, safety, and comfort.

In 2014, we launched the TSG Pass in collaboration with world champion downhill skateboarder Martin Siegrist. It set a new benchmark for helmet design and became a desirable head protection for downhill skaters. Ten years on, we’ve pushed the design, safety, and comfort bar even higher with the introduction of the Pass 2.0.

Teamwork for the new TSG downhill helmet

We conjured up an amazing team to recreate the legendary downhill Pass helmet. Downhiller Oscar Rodriguez gave it his lifetime experience of blazing tarmac. Product designer Stephane Dion, the creator of TSG’s downhill mountain bike helmet Sentinel, went all in with his technical know-how and speed-giving design to make our new downhill skateboard helmet, the Pass 2.0.

What makes the Pass 2.0 different to the Pass Pro?

The new Pass 2.0 helmet features advanced ABS injection molding, with improved protection levels on earlier fiberglass models. ABS injection molding delivers consistent quality, impact resistance, and strength throughout production. For superior stability, we also refined the Pass 2.0’s chin guard, with EPS and PC throughout. The helmet shares the same great shock absorption as the Pass Pro, thanks to its EPS lining, which sucks up impacts evenly across the helmet.

The Pass 2.0 meets and exceeds the European EN1078 helmet standard and the US American ASTM F1952 downhill helmet standard requirements and provides ultimate protection and reliability. Compared to the Pass Pro the new Pass 2.0 achieves up to 23% better test results in CE EN1078 helmet standard tests and up to 16% better results in ASTM F1952 tests. The Pass 2.0 is now also US CPSC 16CFR Part 1203 tested.

We also redesigned the Pass 2.0’s visor. It now features improved helmet integration for an enhanced look and superior air seal. The visor’s modified screw in the connection system to the helmet makes visor swops simple and quick to keep up with changing light conditions. We deliver the Pass 2.0 with a clear, low-light visor and a tinted visor for bright conditions. 

The downhill community asked us for more helmet sizes, and we’ve delivered. The Pass 2.0 comes in XS to XXL, perfectly fitting all heads from 53 to 63 cm in circumference. The Pass 2.0 is 10 mm wider than the TSG Pass Pro, with the modified padding matrix delivering better fit with maximum comfort. We have also widened the helmet entry, making the helmet easier to take on and off. Adjustable snap-on cheek pads cheek enables quick and easy size adjustment and safe helmet removal after a fall. Two mold sizes are in the range to provide a more accurate fit, ranging from XS to M and L to XXL.

The Pass 2.0 is instantly recognizable because of its modified fore-design, which accommodates bigger ventilation slots for improved airflow. Our advanced air duct system directs airflow to the visor for premium anti-fogging and clear vision, however hot the going gets. 

The TSG Pass 2.0 is the perfect choice for downhill skaters and athletes of other gravity sports, like inline downhill and street luge. We’re proud to offer downhill athletes premium protection and comfort with this all-new full-face helmet because fast is not fast enough.
