1 week agoMove Over, MIPS-There's a New Bike Helmet Safety Tech in Town
Ever since its inception in the early 2000s, Swedish brand MIPS has had a monopoly, more or less, on inclusion in high-end bike helmets. Its device-revolutionary at the time-deflects rotational impact away from the head in the event of a crash, thereby reducing the likelihood of brain trauma. However, it has also provoked many companies to research and develop their own proprietary rotational impact protection units, most of which are different takes on the same concept -a snug inner webbing that is able to move independently of the helmet's outer shell.
