Riddell SpeedFlex
SpeedFlex is Riddell's helmet platform, launched in 2014 with the adult SpeedFlex. Its models share the Flex System, in which the shell, the facemask and its attachment all flex, along with features such as the Quick Change Liner and the CAM·LOC attachment. AFG lists six helmets from the line: four adult models (SpeedFlex, SF Echo, SpeedFlex II and SpeedFlex Diamond) and two youth models (SpeedFlex Youth and SpeedFlex ND6). All are NOCSAE certified, and their Virginia Tech ratings range from 3 to 5 stars depending on the model and the measurement year.
