New Fox Open Face Dropframe Trail Helmet Spotted - Sea Otter 2019
Laughing hysterically at these comments. But the older I get, and number of times I have counted myself lucky with trailside crashes this might be a great option over riding endurance events in a full face helmet.

First Ride: 2019 Canyon Neuron
I'm loving all the X5 hate...I used to also feel superior in my SUV despising autophile greatness. But I'm also an M3 driver with no friends, so what do I know?!
What I can say is that I love my 2018 (F15) X5 35i, far more than I thought I would. It's brilliant do take mounting biking. All hatches should have a split fold tail gate, including the wagon's European's are lucky enough to get. It's an instant mobile trailhead prep station and can carry a 4 bike hitch bike rack. Has 7 seats when needed the kids love. Is it slow? Not particularly. Is it necessary for real winters in Ottawa? No, but I've winter daily driven a 2011 E90 M3 Competition on 245 section Michelin Alpine winters and it's terrible. The X5 is just so much more pleasant to drive in the snow and ice.
Oh and it uses way less gas/petrol than the M3 - especially in the cold.
So reading the Pink Bike take - it makes sense to me, it isn't the choice to go as fast as you can, or or as gnarly terrain as possible, but you'll have a surprisingly good time no matter where you fancy going that day...
