MIPS helmets are designed to offer an extra layer of protection in certain types of impacts. A low-friction liner inside the helmet is engineered to help reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled crashes — adding more confidence whether you ride road, MTB, BMX or commute through busy streets.
Made for riders who want that extra bit of assurance
If you’re spending more time on the bike, riding in traffic or pushing harder on trails, a MIPS-equipped helmet can be a reassuring upgrade. You’ll find MIPS options across our Road & Gravel, MTB, Urban and Kids helmet ranges, so you can choose the right style and level of coverage for the way you ride.
What to look for in a MIPS helmet
- Ride style first: start by choosing the right category — MIPS road helmets for tarmac and gravel, or MIPS MTB helmets for trails, enduro and off-road adventures.
- Fit & comfort: as with any helmet, a secure, snug fit and good ventilation are essential. The MIPS liner is designed to sit unobtrusively between the shell and padding so comfort stays front and centre.
- Trusted brands: riders often look to Specialized, Fox and Kask for MIPS helmets, alongside popular options from Bell, Abus, Trek and Giro.
Choosing a MIPS helmet is about stacking the odds in your favour while still enjoying the freedom of every ride. If you’d like help deciding which style, size or category is right for you, our Bike Helmet Buying Guide walks you through the key points in simple, rider-focused language.
