ROSE Bikes NETWORK MIPS Bike Helmet| Road Helmets

The NETWORK MIPS by smith optics is a stylish bike helmet that can be worn anywhere – versatile and performance-oriented. Its special highlight: The combination of shock-absorbing KOROYD material in strategically important zones and the integrated MIPS system offer particularly good protection in the event of a fall.
When the sun and physical exertion heat you up, the cleverly placed ventilation openings ensure optimal ventilation.

Highlights & Technologies:

AEROCORE:
SMITH’s objective and design philosophy behind AEROCORE construction is to increase airflow, improve temperature regulation and guarantee additional safety. The combination of an EPS shell with shock-absorbing KOROYD zones and the AIREVAC ventilation system offers safety, breathability and impact resistance.

KOROYD:
The KOROYD core consists of thousands of small polymer tubes and 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 AEROCORE concept.

AIREVAC:
Ventilation holes in the front section of the helmet allow for a constant 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.

VAPORFIT:
Individual fitting system with a full 5cm of rotary adjustability using a dial. The system can be moved up/down or forward/backward to adapt it to the shape of your head.

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.
