Discover the next generation of dial-fit riding helmets, combining contemporary design, everyday comfort and the trusted EQx fit riders know and love.
Meet the Hyda by EQx by Charles Owen — a fresh new addition to the EQx collection, designed for riders who want to look and feel their best in the saddle.
Blending modern styling with practical performance, Hyda brings together a distinctive carbon-effect top, beautifully brushed metalwork and signature EQx rear branding to create a refined, contemporary look. With its easy-to-adjust dial-fit system, lightweight design and optional Mips® protection, Hyda is designed to take you from everyday rides to competition days and everything in between.
Hyda makes a statement with its contemporary peaked silhouette and carefully considered detailing.
The distinctive carbon-effect top creates a modern finish, complemented by intricately brushed metalwork on the crown and signature EQx branding at the rear. Every detail contributes to a sleek, sophisticated helmet that combines style with practicality.
Whether you’re heading out for a schooling session, enjoying a hack or preparing for competition, Hyda brings a fresh look to your riding wardrobe.
Building on the success of the EQx dial-fit system, Hyda offers an adjustable fit designed around rider comfort and convenience.
The easy-to-use dial adjustment allows you to fine-tune the fit, helping you achieve a secure, personalised feel. Its lightweight construction makes it a practical choice for a variety of riding activities, while the removable, washable headband makes keeping your helmet fresh and comfortable simple.
For riders seeking an additional layer of protection.
The EQx Hyda is available in three size ranges:
Choosing the right helmet size and fit is essential. We recommend having your helmet fitted by a trained professional to help ensure it sits correctly and securely.
A fresh, comfortable fit can make all the difference. One of the practical benefits of the EQx collection is its removable headband, which can be replaced to refresh your helmet without replacing the entire headband assembly.
There are two replacement options available for EQx by Charles Owen helmets:
The Standard Replacement Headband is an ideal option for refreshing your existing EQx helmet and maintaining a comfortable fit.
Looking for an enhanced feel? The new 2.0 Replacement Headband has been designed to offer enhanced comfort and an improved fit, making it an excellent option when it’s time to refresh your helmet.
Both headband styles are compatible with any EQx by Charles Owen helmet, giving you flexibility when choosing your replacement.
Top tip: Before ordering, check the size printed on the label of your current headband to help you select the correct replacement size.
