ION TRAZE AMP MIPS MTB Helmet

The lightweight TRAZE AMP MIPS mountain bike helmet by ION was designed in cooperation with bike helmet specialist MET and offers you both protection and comfort. The MTB helmet comes with the proven MIPS system, which can provide additional protection when rotational forces are acting on the helmet in a crash. In addition, the flexible visor is bent in a crash, which helps reduce injuries caused by overstretching of the neck. When the going gets really tough, you will nevertheless keep cool thanks to numerous vents. To prevent your goggles or glasses from fogging up while riding, additional openings have been integrated so that the forehead area remains pleasantly dry. Thanks to the MAGNETIC FIDLOCK system, you can close and open the MTB helmet single-handed or with gloves on.

MAGNETIC FIDLOCK BUCKLE:
FIDLOCK is a self-closing magnetic closure that ensures quick and secure opening and closing of the helmet, even with a single hand or when wearing gloves. Thanks to the FIDLOCK principle, the closure shuts automatically and prevents the skin from being pinched.

MIPS BRAIN PROTECTION SYSTEM:
WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.

WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.
