01A different way to fit a helmet
Instead of air bladders and foam, a phone app scans the player's head, the scan is matched against Riddell's head-shape database, and the liner is built for that player at the factory.

Spot it: Deeper frontal protection, flex panels front, sides and rear, and a factory-fitted visor on many builds.
02Sensors as standard
Axiom is the first football helmet to ship with InSite fitted as standard rather than as an option, reporting impact data when a programme subscribes to the analytics service.
03What changed on the outside
Flex panels expanded to the sides and rear, and the frontal protection was redesigned. Next to a SpeedFlex it reads deeper and heavier through the brow.
04Rarity
It is the newest thing on a sideline and the smallest part of the collector market. An Axiom on a shelf reads as current in a way a Speed does not.
05No college, no Replica, no Mini
Collector production is NFL only so far, and the platform is Authentic only. Because the visor is part of the build rather than an accessory, Axiom sits outside the OnField Ready programme.

Every helmet we sell is a collector display piece. None of them is protective equipment and none should be worn for play at any level.
