ABUS URBAN-I 3.0 MIPS Bike Helmet

With the URBAN-I 3.0 MIPS, one of the best-known city helmets from ABUS now already enters its third generation. The IN-MOLD technology gives the bike helmet great stability, thanks to a durable connection between the outer shell and the shock-absorbing helmet material. Additional safety is provided by the integrated MIPS system, which can minimise rotational forces in case of a fall. The anti-insect mesh at the front offers effective protection from insects, while a large, high-mounted built-in LED rear light provides 180° visibility. The ZOOM ACE URBAN adjustment system with its anti-slip dial ensures a precise, individual fit. What’s more, 12 air inlets and 5 air outlets provide optimum ventilation.

Highlights & Technologies:

MIPS: WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.

WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.

IN-MOULD:
The IN-MOLD technology provides a durable connection between the outer shell and the shock-absorbing helmet material (EPS). Therefore, the liner is fused with the outer shell under high pressure and strong heat for a lasting connection.

ZOOM ACE URBAN:
Precise adjustment via a full ring consisting of two plastic components for best stability and a perfect fit. An anti-slip adjustment dial allows for precise adjustment.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
