Trail riding means something different for everyone - for some people it's the sweeping trails in the bike centre, for others it's the rough trails deep in the woods and for others it's the mountain ridges. You can count on the Sixer MIPS to handle all terrains. The helmet is equipped with the MIPS system, which is integrated into the Float Fit Race clamping system. The shell is composed of two layers. The one closer to the head has a lower density, is softer and can absorb less impact. The one farther away is harder, ready for big impacts. The big feature is the Sweat Guide, which wicks sweat away from the goggles. Of course, you can also use motocross goggles.
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) provides increased protection against rotational forces on the head. More at www.MIPSprilby.cz

MIPS IS MOVEMENT
ADVANCES IN CYCLING HELMET DEVELOPMENT
All Bell helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible on impact and meet the current European standard: EN 1078. The new MIPS technology aims to eliminate the rotational forces that act on the head in the event of a crash. When hit at any angle, the MIPS system allows the EPS shell of the helmet to rotate independently around the rider's head. Although this movement is only on the order of a few millimeters, we believe that MIPS technology significantly reduces the amount of rotational force that could otherwise be transmitted to the brain.
WHAT IS MIPS (Multidirectional Impact Protection System) and how does it work?
MIPS is a slippery liner between the EPS shell (helmet body) and the inner liners. In the event of an angled impact (for example, if you catch your head on a branch), the EPS shell of the helmet will roll a few millimeters over the MIPS layer, protecting your head and brain from a violent rotational jerk.
