When we started designing the XR Spherical Helmet, we wanted it to do everything from cyclocross, to long-distance hard trails, to local KOMs during a quick ride with friends. With the Falcon XR MIPS, we took the same approach. We've infused similar design and features like the Fidlock buckle and Ionic+ antibacterial lining into a more economical version. Falcon XR is equipped with MIPS technology integrated into the clamping system.

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 fall. When impacted 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 might 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 helmet's EPS shell will roll a few millimeters over the MIPS layer, protecting your head and brain from the violent rotational jerk.
