FOX Dropframe na Dvide cyklistická helma

The Fox MTB helmet offers excellent head protection

The Dropframe Pro Dvide sets new standards for mountain bike helmets, earning 5 stars in Virginia Tech's bike helmet rating program, the highest rating of any helmet ever tested. This super light and extremely comfortable helmet is the favorite for trail riders looking for more protection, more reliability and more fun. This groundbreaking half shell helmet features the MIPS™ impact protection system, Fox's Varizorb™ dual density EPS liner and reinforced protection for the ears, jaw and back of the head. This MTB helmet guarantees the most comprehensive coverage that an MTB helmet has to offer.

highlights

• The additional MIPS protection system has been proven to reduce the rotational movements that are transmitted to the brain in the event of a fall
• Dual density Varizorb EPS provides enhanced protection by spreading impact forces over a larger area
• 8 big-bore vents and 7 exhaust vents keep you cool and aid in moisture management
• The securely attached visor is positioned to direct airflow into the big-bore vents
• The Fidlock® SNAP helmet buckle allows for quick and easy donning and doffing, even with gloves
• Removable, antimicrobial and moisture-wicking inner lining

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

MIPS
The MIPS® safety system was developed to provide additional protection for helmets in numerous accidents. In certain impact situations, the MIPS system can reduce dangerous forces that might otherwise be transmitted to the helmet wearer's head.

1. Conventional helmets are designed and tested for a straight impact. In most cases, however, the impact is at an angle, which can cause rotational movements for the head.

2. This rotational movement can cause brain injury.

3. The low-friction shell is designed to help reduce rotational movement of the head in certain cases of angled impact.

Straight impact - oblique impact

The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational movement than linear movement because it has a shear strength similar to that of water or gel. When rotational movement causes different parts of the brain to move at different times, the tissues can be stretched, causing concussions or other brain injuries.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussion and more serious brain injury from an oblique impact to the head. The MIPS system consists of a low-friction shell that is fixed inside the helmet. The low-friction shell is designed to slide slightly inside the helmet in the event of an accident, allowing forces to be directed away from the head. It is said to help reduce the risk of brain injuries.

Most conventional helmets are designed for a straight impact, but in most cases the impact is at an angle. The low-friction shell can reduce the rotational forces of an oblique impact.

Security system with the brain as a model

Unlike conventional helmets, which are primarily designed and tested for a straight impact, the low-friction shell of the MIPS system mimics the brain's own protection system against rotational movement. The cerebrospinal fluid is our natural defense system that allows the brain to move offset to the skull.
