Bell MX-9 MIPS Offset Helmet

The Bell MX-9 MIPS Offset Helmet features the Mips® safety system How does the Mips® safety system work? The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has shear properties similar to water or gel. When different parts of the brain move relative to each other because of rotational motion, the tissues can stretch, which can cause concussions or other brain injuries. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more severe brain injury in oblique hits to the head. The Mips® safety system consists of a low friction layer mounted inside the helmet. In a crash, the low friction layer is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury. . The lightweight polycarbonate shell comes in three sizes to ensure a precise fit and minimal weight. The Velocity-flow ventilation system keeps you cool during intense rides, while the moisture-wicking, removable, and washable comfort liner ensures a fresh feel. The EPS-lined chin bar and integrated vented roost guard offer added protection. The helmet is secured with a padded chin strap featuring a D-ring closure and strap keeper, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.

• ECE 22.06 ECE 22.06 is a helmet safety rating that extends and increases the testing requirements of ECE 22.05 (with 22.05 being a more modern, more comprehensive European alternative to DOT). With 22.06, 12 additional impact points are analyzed (now totaling 18) and impact speed is increased (from 7.5 to 8.2 m/s). Unlike DOT, every ECE helmet model must actually be tested by an independent lab before it receives 22.06 certification. certified
