The Artex MIPS model is intended for all XC riders for whom speed is the mantra of mountain biking. Do you get on at every turn? Does every hill provoke you to attack a personal best? Do you check segments on Strava before you get in the shower after your workout? Artex MIPS is exactly for you. It brings a fresh design inspired by road racing helmets and sits luxuriously on the head thanks to the Roc Loc 5 Air clamping system with integrated MIPS technology.
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) provides increased protection against rotational forces on the head.

MIPS IS A MOVEMENT
PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CYCLING HELMETS
All Giro helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible during impact and comply with the applicable European standard: EN 1078. The new MIPS technology aims to eliminate rotational forces acting 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.
