POC Otocon Race MIPS Fullface helmet

Ultra light and well ventilated full face helmet

The Otocon Race MIPS gives new meaning to the concept of the lightweight full face helmet. This excellent helmet weighs less than 750g and features integrated security technologies such as the MIPS® security system, a twICEme® NFC medical ID chip and a RECCO® reflector.

The bi-material liner combines high durability and low weight to provide all-day comfort and protection.

The Race-Lock system for adjusting the fit, integrated ventilation channels and removable cheek pads offer additional comfort and safety, whether on fast downhill rides, steep climbs or during the connecting stages in enduro races.

highlights

• MIPS: The Mips safety system helps reduce rotational movement in certain impact situations
• twICEme® NFC Medical ID: The medical information stored on the twICEme® NFC Medical ID chip can be easily accessed by passengers and first responders by tapping a smartphone
• RECCO® reflector: A RECCO® reflector makes it easier for emergency services to locate you in the event of an accident
• Lining made of two materials: EPP protection in the lower part of the helmet for durability and sustainability, EPS in the upper part for low weight
• Injection Molded Liner: The lower portion of the liner features an injection molded cage for added strength and stability
• Aramid Bridges: Aramid fiber reinforced areas inside the helmet to improve structural stability and increase penetration protection
• Polycarbonate Shell: The polycarbonate outer shell offers exceptional durability
• Race Lock: Integrated Race Lock adjustment system for a comfortable and secure fit
• Breakaway Visor: The patented Breakaway Visor breaks off the helmet in a fall to protect your neck from injury. A GoPro can be attached to the smooth underside
• Highly Air-Permeable: Optimized ventilation system that directs air through the helmet for comfort at both high and low speeds
• Removable Cheek Pads: The cheek pads can be easily removed while riding for better ventilation during the climb between Enduro race stages
• Removable Mud Mesh: The mesh in the chin guard protects the face from mud splashes. It can be easily removed for better airflow in warm, dry conditions

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

MIPS
The MIPS® safety system was developed to provide additional protection for helmets in numerous accidents. In certain impact situations, the MIPS system can reduce dangerous forces that might otherwise be transmitted to the helmet wearer's head.

1. Conventional helmets are designed and tested for a straight impact. In most cases, however, the impact is at an angle, which can cause rotational movements for the head.

2. This rotational movement can cause brain injury.

3. The low-friction shell is designed to help reduce rotational movement of the head in certain cases of angled impact.

Straight impact - oblique impact

The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational movement than linear movement because it has a shear strength similar to that of water or gel. When rotational movement causes different parts of the brain to move at different times, the tissues can be stretched, causing concussions or other brain injuries.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussion and more serious brain injury from an oblique impact to the head. The MIPS system consists of a low-friction shell that is fixed inside the helmet. The low-friction shell is designed to slide slightly inside the helmet in the event of an accident, allowing forces to be directed away from the head. It is said to help reduce the risk of brain injuries.

Most conventional helmets are designed for a straight impact, but in most cases the impact is at an angle. The low-friction shell can reduce the rotational forces of an oblique impact.

Security system with the brain as a model

Unlike conventional helmets, which are primarily designed and tested for a straight impact, the low-friction shell of the MIPS system mimics the brain's own protection system against rotational movement. The cerebrospinal fluid is our natural defense system that allows the brain to move offset to the skull.
