MIPS Technology and is it worth it?

Thanks for the testimonial! Was considering a MIPS helmet and I appreciate hearing from people who've actually put it through a crash (not intentionally, obviously).

Which is better mips technology or the new wave gel technology that Bontrager are promoting?

Is the montaro lower profile?

Than the chronicle?

On the 21st of June I had a road crash thanks to being cut up on a country lane by a driver that was not bothered about looking before pulling out. I pulled on my front break and it locked up, I came over my racers handle bars and the the bike and I did a half somersault and it landed on my bike before we rotated to the right ripping my right shoulder, round my right of my face and neck, the bike was pretty much attached to me through it’s toe clips and the straps. The driver drove away and left me for dead. I have no recollection of this but I was wearing a MIPS helmet. I went through a lot of the awful head injury stuff but I was out of hospital in 2 months, considering what I went through and how I was left in an awful state on the road and later flown off by air ambulance I have to say that I believe it was MIPS that saved my life. I am now back on my rollers and have also bought a new MIPS helmet in preparation for when I can go to a cycle track for my racer that is safer! I’ve cycled for 33 years out of my 37 and I’m nog about to stop now! MIPS really does work I am evidence👍🏼

Looks ...and kinda sounds like a young Jack Black 😳

Agreed. Im your 100th like

6D? Have you seen the Impact Test results between the two? 100% of all "Helmet reviews" do not address the primary function of a helmet; protection. Test both, and post the results. Until then, everyone is speculating.

F this school boy site and your school boy video presenter.

rather sounds like an advertisement to me, not like an objective assessment

Many companies give you a discount for a new helmet if your crash with your old one!

I've had severe brain injury (slip on stairs and pivot over the shoulder of of someone sitting on the stairs to land back of head head first, coma, surgery, months without speach, ok now) only had a tiny frcture back of skull but the damage was caused by the impact. Its like your brain is a soft cake in a solid box and then you shake the box. Things that take some of the energy out of the impact are a good idea.

Thanks

wow cool technology. think of all the head injuries this could've prevented in the past.I love seeing cool new shit invented. Well done on the vid also

can't you replace the MIPS element?

It feels kinda weird on the head since it doesn’t feel like it rest on your head. But when you do crash will it feel better?

Well done bro... Stay safe im going to buy MIPS Tech

Your crash was scary....just bought a MIPS helmet 🪖

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for, but my man, outro volume.....

What is the intro

A few years ago I got into a decent MTB accident taking a gap.. Broke my wrist with a compound and that was pretty much the worst of it.. Afer looking back at some of the pictures and realizing how I fell, I realized my helmet probably saved me from worse damage! This was before MIPS as far as I know, but that cheap Bell helmet saved me. Point being; helmets are fucking cool.

It's absolutely worth it. Some helmet's are not really more expensive with mips.
I will never buy a helmet without it!

get a leatt neckbrace aswell.

i ride bike bell mips helmet and leatt neckbrace

Thanks for actually showing the product instead of a lengthy explanation. Did you have to go up a size larger for the MIPS helmet to fit?

Horse back riding MIPS helmets cost $300 which to me is a rip off, when compared to other sports using the same kinda helmets.

Great review,but if M.I.P.s is that important why is it not standard in every helmet you buy? I understand if your riding trails or on a road? But cycling on a cycle path or pavement.
Anyway thank you for the review & hope you had a speed recovery.

My Mips helmet does not move as much as yours does. It got mw wondering if it is mips or not.
