The best KED MIPS-Helmets for adults

Conclusion: Maximum protection for every driving style

In the city, on country roads or in challenging terrain - the safety of your head should never be neglected when cycling. As a leading German manufacturer of high-quality bicycle helmets, KED relies on advanced technologies to provide cyclists with the best possible protection. An essential part of this effort is the integration of the MIPStechnology in our adult bike helmets. In this product guide we will show you the advantages of MIPS-Helmets and present you our most popular models. 

What is MIPS?

The Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) is a revolutionary safety technology developed by neurosurgeons and scientists. The technology is based on the knowledge that the human brain is particularly sensitive to rotational movements, which occur in most real-world accidents. MIPS works through a low-friction inner layer that allows the helmet to move independently of the head, thereby absorbing dangerous rotational energies before they can reach the brain.

Expert tip:

MIPS-You can recognize helmets by the yellow inner shell, which can be easily moved (about 10-15 mm in all directions).

The benefits of MIPS-Helmets

MIPS-Helmets provide improved protection over traditional bicycle helmets by reducing rotational forces during impact. The low-friction shell of the MIPS® Brain Protection System allows sliding of 10-15 mm in all directions at an oblique impact angle and can thus efficiently reduce the rotational forces acting on the brain. This technology is suitable for every cyclist - whether you are a passionate MTB rider, an urban commuter or a weekend cyclist.

Our tip:

The MIPSYou should never treat the layer with aggressive cleaning agents or screw it tightly. A damp cloth is completely sufficient.

Frequently asked questions about the topic

How do I know if my helmet is really MIPStechnology has?

Originals MIPS-Helmets have a yellow one MIPS-Stickers inside the helmet and a clearly visible yellow inner layer. Plus, you'll find this MIPS-Logo on the packaging and in the product description. If you have any doubts, you can have the serial number checked by the manufacturer.

Power MIPS the helmet heavier or more uncomfortable?

No, those MIPS-Layer only weighs about 25-45 grams additional. Most wearers don't notice any difference in comfort in everyday life. Some feel MIPS-Helmets are even more comfortable because the sliding layer can reduce pressure points.

Can MIPS-Helmets make a difference even at low speeds?

Yes, absolutely. Rotational forces also occur at low speeds, especially when falling sideways or at an angle. Especially in urban traffic with lots of turning situations and sudden obstacles MIPS particularly useful.

How do I care for and clean one? MIPS-Helmet right?

Only use lukewarm water and mild soap for cleaning. Aggressive cleaning agents or solvents can MIPS-Damage layer. The cushions are usually removable and washable by hand. Always let the helmet air dry, never in the sun or on a heater.

There is MIPS also for children's and youth helmets?

Yes, many manufacturers now offer this MIPStechnology also for children's helmets. The additional protection is particularly useful for young cyclists, as children fall more often and their brains are still developing.

How long does it last? MIPStechnology in my helmet?

The MIPS-Layer itself has no limited lifespan as long as it has not been stressed by a fall. In general, however, bicycle helmets should be replaced after 3-5 years, as UV radiation and material fatigue can impair the protective effect of the entire helmet structure.

Protects MIPS also in frontal impacts?

MIPS is specifically designed for oblique impact angles that generate rotational forces. In the case of purely frontal impacts, the normal helmet shell mainly works. However, since over 80% of all bicycle accidents involve oblique impact angles, MIPS a significant added value in practice.

Are MIPS-Helmets more expensive than normal helmets?

Yes, MIPSHelmets usually cost 20-50 euros more than comparable models without this technology. However, given the significantly improved protection against brain injuries, this investment is more than justified.

Can I take my old helmet with me? MIPS retrofit?

No, MIPS must be integrated during helmet production. The technology requires a special construction and cannot be installed later. If rotation protection is important to you, you need a new helmet MIPS buy.

Are there alternatives to MIPS with a similar protective effect?

Yes, some manufacturers have developed their own anti-rotation systems, such as WaveCel, SPIN or Koroyd. These technologies work with different approaches, but pursue the same goal: reducing rotational forces. MIPS However, it is considered the most widespread and scientifically studied technology.
