ROSE Bikes FOREFRONT 3 MIPS MTB Helmet| MTB Helmets

The popular smith optics Forefront mountain bike helmet has been given an update and now comes to your home as the revised FOREFRONT 3 MIPS model! The MTB helmet is packed with clever features that you can use on the trail. From flowing single trails to technical descents, this mountain bike helmet keeps your head clear with the MIPS impact protection system, a full KOROYD layer and extended coverage. A whopping twenty ventilation openings keep your head cool when you work up a sweat on the trail. To ensure that the helmet always fits perfectly on rough surfaces, it has been equipped with the renowned BOA adjustment system. The visor of the MTB helmet can be adjusted and you can easily store your glasses on the front or back if required.

Highlights & Technologies:

WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.

WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.

HOW DOES MIPS WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.

KOROYD:
Thousands of small and very light polymer tubes form the Koroyd core that offers especially high impact resistance. Besides, the energy-absorbing material is very breathable, which ensures perfect thermoregulation and keeps your head cool while cycling. Integrated ventilation channels support the ventilation concept.

FLEXIBLE FIT SYSTEM (FFS):
This is an adjustment system developed in collaboration with BOA that moulds securely to the back of the head. The cleverly integrated BOA system was specially developed for the FFS and features a dial for fine adjustment in the blink of an eye as well as ultra-strong Spectra laces and low-friction lace guides.

AIREVAC:
Vents in the front section of the helmet allow for an ideal air flow. Thus, cool air can enter the ventilation system while warm air can escape through the rear vents. The constant airflow provides especially high comfort and optimal temperature regulation.
