uvex I-VO 2 MIPS Bike Helmet

Protection. Fit. Quality. If you like travelling by bike, you need a helmet you can rely on. The I-VO 2 MIPS from uvex combines sophisticated safety with comfort. Its INMOULD construction consists of an inseparable combination of recycled, shock-absorbing EPS hard foam and a robust polycarbonate outer shell – for high stability and low weight. The integrated MIPS safety system provides additional protection in the event of a side impact. The fit? Very easy to adjust with the 3D IAS system in height and width and the infinitely adjustable straps with Y-distributor. The comfort? Optimum climate management uphill and downhill thanks to 25 vents with integrated fly screen and washable interior made from recycled material. The integrated sunshade defies the sun, rain and wind. And if it gets longer: An optional plug-in LED rear light can be retrofitted for greater visibility in the dark. A helmet for all occasions – the uvex i-vo 2 MIPS.

Highlights & Technologies:

MIPS: 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 IT 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 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.

INMOULD:
In this construction, the robust polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to the impact-absorbing EPS inner shell in a single operation during the foaming process. This makes the helmet even more resistant without adding weight. This production process also makes it possible to shape significantly better ventilation openings. Inmould helmets are therefore lighter than traditional helmets and have significantly better ventilation systems.

3D IAS:
A height- and width-adjustable half ring allows you to individually adapt the helmet to your head size. The system ensures especially precise and almost infinite adjustment. In addition, reflective elements are integrated into the IAS adjustment wheel for improved visibility.

MONOMATIC:
Secure, comfortable fit and easy handling at the touch of a button. The multi-stage, anatomic uvex monomatic comfort fastener can be used with one hand only at the touch of a button. This way, you can precisely adjust the length of the chin strap and ensure a secure fit of the helmet.
