Mountain biking takes a lot out of us as riders, physically, mentally, and then there's the issue of our pocket books. While we don't want to compromise on the safety of our noggins, we want to watch more→the budget where we can. Fortunately Bell understands that we don't want to take short cuts or make compromises when it comes to wallet-friendly cranium protection, which is why its designers created the 4Forty MIPS Helmet. Priced just below three-digits, the 4Forty provides the support you want for vigorous trail riding, with a full hardshell exterior to take the brunt of big blows, while MIPS technology reduces rotational forces to protect your brain. The Bell 4Forty has 15 generous vents to …

When we head to the resort, we strap Smith's Level Helmet to our dome every time we click in. This is one of Smith's newer, lighter helmets designed with a hybrid Aerocore construction and honeycomb-s more→haped Koroyd inserts to increase levels of protection while minimizing weight.

How to make aero helmets that save watts without leaving cyclists trapped inside a stifling bubble is a recurring challenge for helmet manufacturers. That's why we're impressed with the Giro Aerohead MIPS Helmet's wind-cheating profile and efficient venting system, which incorporates more cooling channels than the Aerohead Ultimate and features the added impact absorbtion of Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS). On the outside, the …

When out riding our favorite trails, knowing that our noggins are protected in case we go rubber side up lets us ride with even more freedom. The Giro Source MIPS is a new trail-ready helmet, built wi more→th MIPS for a layer that disperses rotational forces upon impact and an adjustable visor to better protect against the glare of the sun. 17 vents help pull air through the helmet, so you can stay cool as you hammer up your favorite climb.

We like the GRimnir 2Vi MIPS Helmet because it doesn't pack on excess weight to keep our heads safe. It uses a thermoplastic laminated carbon fiber shell that has exceptional strength with minimal wei more→ght. To back up its strong frame, it comes with multi-impact protection and MIPS technology.
