Alpina Taunus Mips Cycling Helmet Mat Dark Blue - 52-56 cm

The Alpina Taunus MIPS is the ideal helmet for your gravel adventure.
It features an independent, sporty, and dynamic design, making it a standout on any gravel path while impressing with its smart features.
The HI-EPS combined with MIPS and the Run System Ergo Flex ensures a high level of comfort and safety.
In the event of a fall with an angled impact, MIPS helps reduce rotational forces on the head, while the Run System provides an optimal fit of the helmet on your head.
The lightweight nature of this gravel helmet is due to the INMOLD finish, where the outer shell is thermally bonded to the HI-EPS. This results in a solid surface connection, responsible for a very stable construction and light weight. For optimal safety on rough terrain, the back and side areas have been extended downward.
This provides even greater coverage of the head.
Large ventilation openings and the comfortable, snug-fitting WIDE Y-CLIP chin strap system perfectly round off the features of this gravel helmet.

RUN SYSTEM ERGO FLEX MIPS:
This smart mounting system combines MIPS impact protection with an individually adjustable 360° fit on your head.

WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a system of sliding surfaces within the helmet.
It is designed to rotate within the helmet and slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to and from the head.
This reduces the risk of head injury from rotational forces.

WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When the head rotates quickly and suddenly comes to a stop, the brain tissue can be subjected to significant stress.
The stretching of the brain tissue caused by this movement can lead to various types of brain damage.
MIPS is developed to reduce the rotational acceleration of an impact/fall.

HOW DOES MIPS WORK?
MIPS utilizes a system of sliding surfaces that mimic the brain's protective system.
This layer rotates within the helmet and is designed to slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head.
According to scientific research, the risk and severity of brain injuries can be reduced if the rotational acceleration can be minimized.

INMOLD:
The inner shell is injected under high pressure and heat into the outer shell to create a complete bond. This makes the helmet extremely stable and lightweight.

CERAMIC SHELL:
This is a polycarbonate outer shell, resistant to breaks and scratches, pressed under high pressure and heat onto a HI-EPS body.
It is UV-stable and anti-static.

HI-EPS:
The inner shell is made of High Expanded Polystyrene, consisting of many microscopic air chambers that absorb impact during a fall, for example.

EDGE PROTECT:
Sharp edges are eliminated during the manufacturing process to protect your hands when handling the helmet and to safeguard your neck and shoulders in the event of a fall.

WIDE Y-CLIP:
A helmet can only provide the best possible protection if it remains in the optimal position during a collision.
The adjustment and attachment of the two straps under the ear play a crucial role.
The pleasantly wide Y-clip system ensures a comfortable, snug fit with easy adjustment options around the ears.
The length of the straps cannot be adjusted to create an ideal fit.

ERGOMATIC:
The closure with a red push button and the multi-position locking mechanism can be operated with one hand.
In the event of a fall, it will not open on its own.
