BELL 4Forty MIPS Mat/Gloss Black S

Mountain biking is a demanding sport – compromising on equipment is definitely not a good idea. The 4Forty helmet is designed to withstand the challenges of the trails. Its quality matches helmets that cost twice as much: it has a deep profile covering the nape, is perfectly ventilated, fits perfectly on the head thanks to the Float Fit retention system, and has an adjustable visor.

MIPS technology available in selected colors.

MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) provides enhanced protection against rotational forces on the head. More at www.MIPSprilby.cz

RETENTION SYSTEM Float Fit (integration with MIPS in the MIPS system variant)
CONSTRUCTION In-mold Polycarbonate Shell
VENTILATION 15 vents, Channeled Ventilation
FEATURES adjustable visor, Sweat Guide
SIZES S (52–56 cm), M (55–59 cm), L (58–62 cm)

MIPS IS MOVEMENT
ADVANCEMENT IN CYCLING HELMET DEVELOPMENT

All Bell helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible upon impact and meet the applicable European standard: EN 1078. The goal of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate rotational forces that act on the head in the event of a fall. Upon impact 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 would otherwise be transferred to the brain.

WHAT IS MIPS (Multidirectional Impact Protection System) and how does it work?

MIPS is a slippery insert between the EPS shell (the body of the helmet) and the internal padding. In the event of an angled impact (for example, when you catch your head on a branch), the EPS shell of the helmet rotates a few millimeters over the MIPS layer, thus protecting the head and brain from a sharp rotational jerk.
