Creating helmets that perform in all types of impacts requires getting the details exactly right. Using high density EPS ensures high energy impacts are effectively absorbed. Low density EPS, however, provides superior performance in less severe impacts. Bollé helmets with the AViD liner technology use a combination of different EPS densities and/or optimization of the ventilation channels to virtually decrease the density in the top area. The result is a lighter, more ventilated helmet with progressive shock absorption that will absorb a wider range of impacts*. (Available on the Trackdown model.) *compared to a standard EPS liner with uniform thickness.
MIPS ADDS MORE PROTECTION
AGAINST ROTATIONAL MOTION
MIPS is a revolutionary technology that lets the helmet slide relative to the head, adding more protection against rotational motion to the brain caused by angled impacts. Because keeping you safe in every condition is our priority, the TRACKDOWN helmet is the first Bollé helmet equipped with MIPS technology.
MIPS ENABLES A RELATIVE MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE HELMET AND THE HEAD IN ANY DIRECTION.
= THE MORE RED THE MORE STRAIN
This simulation illustrates strain in the brain from a similar angled impact when the user is wearing a helmet without MIPS and a helmet with MIPS.
