Snell 2015 approved

Meets or exceeds the toughest

safety standards on the market

• Shell is constructed using state-of-the-art, aircraft grade

woven Carbon fiber and Kevlar

®

composite materials,

which create superior strength while remaining extremely

light

• MIPS

®

low-friction layer can absorb more of the rotational

force of impacts, adding more protection than other

standard EPS helmets can offer

• Dual density EPS liner combines two layers of EPS

(Expanded Polystyrene), one softer, one slightly harder to

provide more progressive impact absorption for different

levels of impact

• Multi-port air induction cooling system includes 11 intake

and 4 exhaust vents that create massive airflow to keep

your head cool

• Quad-vent goggle anti-fog vents above goggle eye port

draw air from goggle to help clear away fog

• Custom molded rubber trim with integrated nose guard

helps keep rocks and debris away from your nose

• Quick Release washable COOLMAX

®

comfort liner &

cheek pads absorb sweat, provide plenty of ventilation,

and are easy to remove

• Flow through EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) and comfort

liner air system align to maximize airflow

• Helmet is constructed using super-strong, lightweight

machined aluminum visor screws, and stainless steel

rivets and D-rings for superior strength and years of

worry free use

• Optional carbon fiber intake vent wing can be added to

the helmet for increased direction of airflow on the front

vents

The MIPS

®

patented technology was developed by some of the world’s leading researchers in

biomechanics and neuroscience at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and the Karolinska

Institute in Sweden. You can see for yourself the difference in an angled impact between helmets

with and without MIPS

®

. With exactly the same speed and angle, the results are very different. The

pictures speak for themselves – the more red areas, the more strain in the brain. Gain peace of mind

by helping to protect your brain with a new standard of technology currently on the market, MIPS

®

.

The secret behind MIPS

®

, patented technology derives from the human brain. The brain is surrounded

by a low-friction cushion of cerebrospinal fluid that protects it by allowing it to slide slightly on

impact. MIPS

®

imitates the brain’s way of protecting itself by giving the helmet its own low-friction

layer between the outer shell and the liner, which also slides to absorb a portion of the energy

created by an angled blow to the head. This can reduces the rotational force otherwise transmitted

to your brain. The combination of the brain’s own protection and MIPS

®

therefore provides more

protection than a helmet without MIPS

®

technology. Very simple and very effective. MIPS

®

mirrors

the brain’s own intelligent protection system and provides an additional element to helmet safety.

MIMICKING THE BRAIN –

Most helmets are tested only by dropping them vertically onto a flat surface.

MIPS

®

technology is the hard-earned result of over 19 years of studies and

testing by some of the world’s leading researchers and brain surgeons, based

on a different principle – reality. Because in reality when you fall, your head

usually hits the ground at an angle, creating a rotational force that leads to

strain in the brain. With MIPS

®

, the helmet can absorb more of that rotational

force, adding better protection than helmets not equipped with MIPS

®

.
