Smith NEXUS Mips, matte black slate

• Weight: 550gr
• Shell: Hybrid Shell with Koroyd Energy Absorber
  HYBRID SHELL CONSTRUCTION: The best of both worlds for the highest safety demands: The HYBRID SHELL CONSTRUCTION combines the weight and comfort advantages of In-Mold technology with the robustness of the Hard Shell construction. In the event of an impact, the hard shell distributes the pressure over the entire surface and offers maximum resistance. Optimum protection is provided by the very light EPS inner shell, which offers optimum impact protection with low weight, as it perfectly encloses the back of the head. The result is a state-of-the-art top helmet with low overall weight, excellent comfort and ABS upper shell for maximum safety, best ventilation and a discreet, stylish, distinctive look.
  Koroyd Energy Absorber: Koroyd offers superior shock absorption, design flexibility and ventilation compared to materials traditionally used in helmet construction. By using cylinders in the crumple zones that compress evenly during an impact, Koroyd® absorbs energy more efficiently and with less volume than any other protective material on the market. Unlike conventional protective materials, Koroyd® cylinders absorb and convert more kinetic energy, increase airflow and reduce overall weight.
  Not all helmets are the same.
  Cylindrical structures were developed in the aerospace industry to absorb energy. They proved to be one of nature's strongest forms. A shape that can provide the greatest impact absorption for a given length. Koroyd® uses cylinders to create a structure that behaves differently to traditional protective materials. Traditional materials act like a spring, storing and then releasing the energy. Koroyd® absorbs the energy, transforming the kinetic energy by crumpling it. This leads to better absorption of the impact energy.

About MIPS® Brain Protection System:
MIPS stands for Multi Directional Impact Protection System - A system that is designed to protect against impacts with different directions of movement/force.
These different directions of force are caused by impacts that hit the helmet at an angle. Classic helmets best absorb static (straight) impacts that strike at a right angle and do not create a rotational force.
Since static impacts are unrealistic and you usually hit the ground or other obstacles at an angle, the MIPS system was developed. It absorbs both static forces and rotational forces.

The model of the MIPS system is the human brain.
To protect the brain, there is a fluid between the brain and the skull bone. In the event of a blow to the head, the resulting rotational force is dissipated by minimal movements of this fluid layer and the force is not transmitted to the brain.
MIPS is a copy of this layer, so to speak.
For this purpose, a movable second shell is mounted in the outer shell of the helmet. This second shell rests directly on the head.
Now, if an impact occurs at an angle, the resulting rotational force is not transferred to the head, but is dissipated by the movement between the first and second shells. This system is very effective and can be integrated into any helmet without major problems.
