What is MIPS Technology?

MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is an innovative safety technology integrated into some bicycle helmets. It aims to reduce rotational forces that can occur during an oblique impact, thus helping to mitigate the risk of brain injuries. The MIPS system is designed to allow the helmet to slightly rotate on the head in the event of an impact, dissipating some of the impact energy.

What Are the Benefits of MIPS Technology?

The MIPS technology offers significant safety benefits. By reducing rotational forces, it helps to attenuate the risk of concussions and diffuse axonal brain injuries. Helmets equipped with MIPS provide additional protection for cyclists engaging in high-risk activities such as mountain biking or road cycling.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Bicycle Helmet

When choosing a bicycle helmet, consider elements such as the helmet's size and weight for a comfortable fit, ventilation features for better cooling, integrated safety technologies, as well as style and colors that match your personal preferences.
