The Zephyr MIPS is without a doubt the best racing helmet on the market. It was created after four years of intensive development based on Bell's sixty years of experience in the production of helmets. We managed to integrate the MIPS system into the clamping system - fewer layers, lower weight, smaller helmet profile. The shell is composed of two layers. The one closer to the head has a lower density, is softer and can thus absorb smaller impacts. The more distant one is, on the other hand, harder. The clamping system (and MIPS layer at the same time) Float Fit Race is a work of art. It even offers the possibility of adjustment in three directions: classic pull-down with a wheel, vertical shift of the system and also right-left shift of the supporting head blades. It goes without saying that the aerodynamics of the helmet shape are optimized while maintaining perfect ventilation. It is possible to store glasses in the prepared upholstered openings in the front and back.
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) provides increased protection against rotational forces on the head.

MIPS IS A MOVEMENT
Progress in the development of bicycle helmets.
All Bell helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible during an impact and meet the applicable European standard: EN 1078. The goal of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate rotational forces that act on the head in the event of a fall. In an impact at any angle, the MIPS system allows the EPS shell of the helmet to rotate independently around the rider's head. Although this movement is only on the order of a few millimeters, we believe that MIPS technology significantly reduces the amount of rotational force that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain.
WHAT IS MIPS (multidirectional Impact Protection System) and how does it work?
MIPS is a slippery insert between the EPS shell (helmet body) and the inner linings. In the event of an impact at an angle (for example, when you catch your head on a branch), the EPS shell of the helmet rotates a few millimeters after the MIPS layer, protecting the head and brain from a violent rotational jerk.
