uvex REACT MIPS MTB Helmet

Off to the great outdoors – with the uvex REACT MIPS! The robust polycarbonate outer shell has been foamed directly to the EPS inner shell using the DOUBLE INMOULD process, increasing durability. The combination of functionality, protection and style is completed by the MIPS system to provide an additional level of protection in the event of an accident. Another cool feature is the goggle garage above the MTB helmet.

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 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.

DOUBLE INMOULD:
The EPS liner shell is almost inseparably joined with a polycarbonate outer shell. The polycarbonate outer shell provides additional protection and protects the edges of the helmet from damages.

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:
A comfortable, easily adjustable ratchet closure that can be opened and adjusted with just a click.

Y-CLIP:
Both straps can be easily adjusted at the ears, so that you can adapt the position of the straps to your individual head shape.
