uvex CITY STRIDE MIPS Bike Helmet

A combination of protection and elegance – the uvex CITY STRIDE MIPS. The integrated MIPS system makes it a reliable companion with particularly high protection potential in the event of a fall. The practical PLUG-IN LED light on the back of the helmet ensures that you are more visible in traffic. HARDSHELL technology makes the helmet impact-resistant and shock-absorbing. The MONOMATIC ratchet fastener makes it extremely easy to put the helmet on and take it off. The additional integrated insect net offers protection from unwanted guests on your head.

Highlights & Technologies:

MIPS: WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.

WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.

HARDSHELL:
An injection moulded outer shell is joined with an EPS liner. This makes the helmet impact-resistant and shock-absorbing and allows for best features like vents or air channels to further increase comfort.

MONOMATIC:
Secure, comfortable fit and easy handling at the touch of a button. The multi-stage, anatomic uvex monomatic comfort fastener can be used with one hand only at the touch of a button. This way, you can precisely adjust the length of the chin strap and ensure a secure fit of the helmet.

PLUG-IN LED:
The LED helmet light is simply plugged into the ventilation hole and thus increases visibility and safety in road traffic.

HIPLOK Z HIDEAWAY:
This is a device that is compatible with the HIPLOK Z padlock.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
