Highlights & Technologies:

RUN SYSTEM ERGO FLEX MIPS:
This clever fitting system combines the proven MIPS impact protection with an individual, smooth and height-adjustable fit for your head.

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 MIPS 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 down 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.

HARD SHELL:
An impact-resistant ABS or polycarbonate outer shell on top of the EPS liner promises maximum safety.

HI-EPS:
The inner shell is made from High Expanded Polystyrene with numerous microscopic air chambers that absorb impact energy in case of a collision.

AIRFLOW VENTING:
The ventilation of the helmet is one factor that strongly influences wearing comfort. The well thought out arrangement of the ventilation openings is crucial for optimum ventilation of the interior. The air is channelled into the interior, where it is guided along the head and can flow out again at the rear end. The head is therefore always pleasantly ventilated.

Y-CLIP:
A helmet can only provide best protection if it remains in the optimal position in case of a crash. The adjustment and fixation of the two straps under the ear are very important for this. The Y-clip system ensures easy and precise adjustment.

ERGOMATIC:
The strap closure with a red press button and a multi-step ratchet mechanism can be operated with one hand only. It won't become loose in case of a fall.

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.
