Mountain biking is a demanding sport - compromising on equipment is definitely not a good idea. The 4Forty helmet is made to withstand the rigors of the trails. Its quality is comparable to helmets that cost twice as much: it has a deep profile that covers the back of the head, is perfectly ventilated, fits perfectly on the head thanks to the Float Fit fastening system and has an adjustable label.
MIPS technology available in selected colors.
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) provides increased protection against rotational forces on the head. More at www.MIPSprilby.cz
Float Fit CLAMPING SYSTEM (integration with MIPS on the variant with the MIPS system)
CONSTRUCTION In-mold Polycarbonate Shell
VENTILATION 15 holes, Channeled Ventilation
FEATURES positionable label, Sweat Guide
SIZES S (52-56 cm), M (55-59 cm), L (58-62 cm)
MIPS IS A MOVEMENT
PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CYCLING HELMETS
All Bell helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible during an impact and meet the applicable European standard: EN 1078. The aim of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate the 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 transmitted to the brain.
WHAT IS MIPS (Multidirectional Impact Protection System) and how does it work?
MIPS is a slippery insert between the EPS shell (helmet body) and the inner liners. In the event of an impact at an angle (for example, when you catch your head on a branch), the EPS shell of the helmet rotates a few millimeters after the MIPS layer, protecting the head and brain from a violent rotational jerk.
