Mips motorcycle helmets incorporate a system intended to help manage rotational motion during certain angled impacts. It is one part of the complete helmet. Fit, retention, intended riding use and the approval of the exact helmet still need independent consideration.
Understand the system's role
Mips describes a low-friction layer that permits limited movement within the helmet during certain impacts. That does not make every Mips-equipped helmet identical or guarantee an outcome in a crash. Check the exact model rather than assuming the technology is present throughout a brand's range.
Choose the helmet around your riding
Road, adventure and motocross helmets have different visor, peak and eye-protection arrangements. Compare these features separately from the Mips system. Try the helmet securely fastened, checking for pressure points and unwanted movement, with your usual spectacles or goggles where appropriate.
Follow model-specific care
Use the helmet manufacturer's instructions for removing comfort liners and cleaning the interior. Do not alter or remove protective components to improve comfort. If a helmet does not fit, try a different shape or size. Our showroom can help compare complete helmet fit rather than choosing on one feature alone.
