Cycling helmets with MIPS - how do they work?

Bicycle helmets are one of the most important pieces of equipment for every cyclist. Their task is to protect the head from injury in the event of an accident. However, choosing the right helmet can be a difficult task as there are many different models and technologies on the market that affect their quality and level of protection.

In the MikeSPORT online store, we offer a wide selection of bicycle helmetswith MIPS technologywhich is considered one of the best and most modern methods of head protection against injuries. This technology allows the head to move in a multi-directional way inside the helmet, thus reducing the risk of brain damage in the event of an impact to the back of the head

In our offer you will find many different models of bicycle helmets with MIPS technology, adapted to different types of riding and aesthetic preferences. Each of them has been carefully designed and made of the highest quality materials to ensure the optimal level of protection and comfort. We invite you to familiarize yourself with our offer and choose the helmet that best suits your needs and preferences.

What is MIPS?

MIPS is a technology that increases the safety of bicycle and other sports helmets. This acronym stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. This technology was developed to protect the brain from shock injuries.

MIPS is a system consisting of a low-friction layer integrated into the helmet. This layer allows for a slight movement of the head inside the helmet in the event of an angled impact to minimize the rotational forces exerted on the brain. This greatly reduces the risk of brain damage.

Every MIPS helmet comes with an extra layer of protection that doesn't affect the weight of the helmet or the ventilation. This layer is designed individually for each helmet model to ensure a perfect fit.

MIPS technology is available in different variants for different types of sports activities, such as road cycling, MTB and snowboarding. MIPS is integrated into the helmet and does not require separate installation or maintenance.

Studies show that MIPS helmets offer a higher level of protection than traditional helmets. That is why more and more reputable helmet brands are choosing to use this technology in their products.

How does MIPS work?

The MIPS system works by introducing an extra layer into the helmet that allows for some freedom of movement between the head and the helmet. This layer is sandwiched between the helmet liner and the outer shell. When an impact occurs, this outer layer of the helmet rotates independently of the head, allowing the impact forces to be dispersed and the rotational forces transmitted to the brain to be reduced, which in turn minimizes the risk of brain injury.

This system has been designed to imitate the brain's natural protection system, which is the cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid allows some freedom of movement for the brain inside the skull, providing shock absorption and minimizing the risk of brain injury.

Depending on the model, helmets with MIPS technology can include variations of this protective layer to better respond to different types of impacts and intended applications, such as road bike helmets, MTB bike helmets, ski and snowboard helmets, motorcycle helmets and many more.

Our range of cycling helmets with MIPS technology is a great choice for those who value safety while cycling.

What is the safest bicycle helmet?

There is no one specific bicycle helmet that is considered the safest. Safety depends on many factors, such as the quality of the helmet, its fit to the head, type of riding, weather conditions and many more.

However, cycling helmets with MIPS (Multiple Impact Protection System) technology are widely recognized as one of the safest helmets on the market. MIPS technology, based on a two-layer system, helps to protect against the rotational forces resulting from side impacts, so it can reduce the risk of serious brain injuries.

Ultimately, there are several factors to consider when choosing the best cycling helmet for you, such as type of riding, helmet style, fit, color, and more. All this affects the final choice of the helmet that will best suit your needs.

Which brand to buy a bicycle helmet?

Buying a bicycle helmet is a very important decision from the point of view of safety while riding. There are many brands offering bicycle helmets on the market, but the most important thing is to choose one that has the appropriate certificates and meets safety standards.

Among the popular and reputable brands of bicycle helmets, it is worth mentioning GIRO, Bell, Lazer, Alpina, Uvex, KASK, Rogelli and FORCE brands. Each of these brands offers many models of bicycle helmets, adapted to different riding styles and needs of users.

However, when choosing a bicycle helmet, remember that the best one will be the one that fits your head perfectly, providing the right level of protection and wearing comfort. Before buying, it is worth measuring your head carefully and choosing a helmet with the right size and adjusting it using the available adjustments.
