MXVice and Motocrossplanet had the opportunity to test the Shot Lite Challenger Blue Matt helmet. The Shot Lite Challenger Blue Matt helmet is a standout in the off-road segment. With its modern matte blue finish and lightweight construction, Shot targets serious riders who value performance, comfort, and style. But does the helmet live up to those promises? We put it to the test.
Design & Finish
The first impression is undoubtedly positive. The matte blue finish looks premium and stylish without being overly flashy. The aggressive lines and ventilation openings give the helmet a sporty appearance that fits well with both motocross and enduro bikes.
Weight & Construction
As the name suggests, the Lite Challenger is designed with weight reduction in mind. The helmet weighs around 1200 grams, making it one of the lightest in its class. You’ll especially notice this during longer rides: reduced neck fatigue and greater freedom of movement.
The shell is made from injection-molded polycarbonate, a material known for its solid balance of weight, strength, and affordability.
Ventilation
Ventilation is one of the helmet’s strong points. Multiple air intakes at the front (chin, forehead, and top) ensure good airflow. Warm air exits easily through the rear exhaust vents, keeping it comfortable even in hot weather.
Interior & Fit
The interior lining feels soft and premium and is fully removable and washable. Shot uses a quick-drying, breathable liner, which is great after intense rides or races. The fit is sporty and snug without being tight. The helmet fits true to size, but we always recommend trying it on first.
Safety
The helmet is ECE 22.06 certified, meaning it meets the latest European safety standards. The double D-ring closure offers secure fastening and is the go-to choice for serious off-road riders.
Pros:
-
Very lightweight (approx. 1200 g)
-
Excellent ventilation
-
Comfortable, washable lining
-
Stylish matte blue design
-
ECE 22.06 approved
Conclusion
The Shot Lite Challenger Blue Matt helmet is an excellent choice for riders looking for a lightweight, comfortable, and affordable motocross helmet without sacrificing style or safety. With its modern looks and solid specs, it offers great value for money.
Ideal for:
Motocross, enduro, and recreational off-road riders who want top-level performance without paying a premium price.
