Made in 3 shell sizes so as to fit better to each size. The materials chosen for the shell were a multiple fibre composite on the outside and 2 density EPS foam inside. Its interior, totally detachable and washable, is made in Dry-Lex® fabric, which extracts sweat and provides a pleasant sensation in contact with the skin. The ventilation systems consists of 11 air intakes and 4 extractor ducts.
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System):
The V3 incorporates an important innovation: MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System). The impact tests on conventional helmets are carried out by letting them fall vertically onto a rigid surface. This new system is based on the fact that, during an accident, more often than not, the head does not vertically impact against the floor but at a different angle, exerting a rotation force on the brain and causing greater damage. With the MIPS system, the helmet absorbs between 25 and 35% more of this rotational energy, providing the rider with radically improved protection.
The brain is surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid that acts as a “cushion” to avoid friction as much as possible. The MIPS system endows the helmet with its own “cushion” for minimising friction; it consists of a layer placed between the EPS foam and the inner padding that provides a greater absorption of the energy generated by an angular impact. The combination of the brain’s natural protection together with the MIPS system guarantees maximum protection.
