An entry-level essential for the new trail enthusiast, the MET Echo Cycle Helmet (MIPS) features the same technology and safety as helmets higher up in its range, which includes the MIPS-C2® brain protection system. This allows the cycle helmet to slide relative to the head in the event of a crash, redirecting any damaging rotational motion. The Echo also comes with an increased coverage at the back of the head, an area in particular need of protection, alongside a removable visor and a reflective rear sticker that ensures visibility in low lighting. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.

If you're bound for the trail centre, ripping up some XC loops or flowing along singletrack in your local woods, the Spark 2 Helmet (MIPS) has got you covered should you crash. It's the Fusion In-Mould Technology that provides reliable head protection. A durable outer shell provides a strong and sturdy construction, capable of taking the hard knocks of mountain biking. This is bonded to an EPS foam liner, designed to soak up and dissipate the forces of head impacts during a crash. This sturdy construction is backed up by MIPS, an innovative system that enhances protection from rotational forces in the event of a crash. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) Made to meet and exceed international standards, Bell turn to MIPS to add an extra layer of head protection to their Spark 2 helmet.

The Omne Air SPIN Helmet achieves that fine balance between aero performance, comfort, ventilation and of course first-rate protection, making this a helmet you can easily use every day. In the event of a fall, it's the combination of optimal liner density, thicker core protection zones and SPIN (Shearing Pad INside) technology that will help prevent injury through optimal energy dispersal. SPIN (Shearing Pad INside) Unlike most of its rivals who deploy the popular MIPS technology, POC has created their very own protective system known as SPIN, a patent-pending rotational impact protection system that reduces the effects of an oblique fall by limiting the amount of force transmitted to the head and brain. Using an innovative and unique pad technology to keep you safe you'll be protected from unexpected falls and install a new level of confidence as you ride. Easy Adjustment and Comfort While protection is of paramount importance it's not much good if the helmet is uncomfortable or poorly vented. It's here that the Omne Air SPIN benefits from tech first developed on POC's award-winning Octal and the Ventral race helmets. The slim and streamlined profile keeps weight and bulk to a minimum while large vents and ventilation channels create a cooling airflow over the whole head. A lightweight 360-degree size adjustment system gives you precise control of the fit while easily adjusted straps ensure the helmet remains perfectly in place no matter what. Delivering superior levels of comfort, fit and performance, the Omne Air SPIN Helmet can see you take safely to the race track, work commute or big weekend gravel epic.

The slim profile provides streamlined performance while large vents and inner channels provide turbo-charged ventilation to keep you cool and comfortable. Safety comes via the amalgam of a tough outer shell and lightweight EPS foam liner. The polycarbonate shell ensures protection from minor knocks and bumps. In the event of a more serious fall, this also enhances the structural integrity of the helmet. The outer provides cover for the EPS foam liner. This is the layer that soaks up harder head impacts during a fall. The density and thickness vary in order to optimise protection where it's needed most. Extended protection around the temples and back of the head increase all-around protection, wherever you choose to ride. MIPS Integra Head Protection Solution The Omne Air also features the MIPS Integra system. This brings together POC's 'whole-helmet' safety and design ethos with the fully integrated brain-protecting technology of MIPS. This holistic approach sees every detail of the helmet engineered to work in harmony with each other, giving you new levels of seamless safety, comfort, ventilation, fit and function.

If it's the speed and heart-pumping exhilaration of downhill mountain biking that gets you pumped to ride, the full face MTB Gravity 1.0 Helmet is just for you. Whether it's a high-speed front-wheel washout, badly casing a jump or clipping a tree on a tight turn, whenever you brace for a head impact, the Gravity 1.0 has got you covered.

This is focused on reducing the damaging effects of a crash on your brain. It works via 360 ̊moving discs, all made from an energy-absorbing material. These impart a reduction of rotational acceleration to the head and brain by up to 40%. The system also improves the absorption of impact energy - it reduces peak brain acceleration by up to 30% at the impact speeds associated with concussion. Ready to Roll As you drop into trails or burst out of the start hut of a DH race, the Gravity 1.0 ensures there are no distractions to put you off the ride. Firstly, there are strategically placed air vents, allowing cool air to rush inside while also letting damp, moist air escape.

The visor adds protection from sun and mud kicked up and it's designed to break away in a crash, reducing forces on the head and neck. And for particularly gnarly trails, the 1.0 is neck brace compatible.
