BELL STRATUS MIPS Cycle Helmet

The STRATUS bike helmet from BELL comes with the proven MIPS system, which can provide additional protection in the event of rotational forces acting on it. Thanks to the very easy and precise FLOAT FIT adjustment with the one-handed adjustment mechanism, this bicycle helmet cuts a particularly fine figure as an all-rounder. It has lots of ventilation and is equipped with an easy-to-use strap system.

Details:
• Lightweight helmet for use on the road bike
• Made with INMOULD technology
• Polycarbonate outer shell
• FLOAT FIT system for easy adjustments
• 18 vents
• With OVERBROW VENTILATION
• Light belt system
• With ROLL CAGE reinforcement
• MIPS system reduces rotational forces

Technical details:
• Weight: approx. 285 g (size M)
• EN1078

INMOULD:
The liner is fused with the outer shell under high pressure and strong heat for a lasting connection. This makes the helmet very robust and lightweight.

FLOAT FIT:
The helmet adjustment system combines comfort and safety with an especially lightweight design. FLOAT FIT optimises the fit of the helmet – thanks to various width and vertical adjustment options. The arms wrap around the back of the head to further reduce weight and ensure easy handling. Therefore, the helmet fits your head perfectly. Simple, lightweight and comfortable.

OVERBROW VENTILATION:
The ventilation system pulls cool air in through the front of the helmet. Special air channels then usher the cool air over the head while letting warm air escape. Deep intake ports on the brow draw in cool air.

ROLL CAGE:
The ROLL CAGE is a reinforcement made of particularly impact-resistant nylon that is embedded into the EPS foam liner of the best Giro helmets. It provides a high level of stability and safety.

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 to 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.
