POC CRANE MIPS Bike Helmet

The CRANE MIPS by POC is a lightweight and robust helmet made for daily commutes or BMX riding. The dual-density EPS inner shell provides particularly good shock absorption. In addition, the robust outer shell protects you in the event of an impact.

Details:
• Versatile bike helmet made with INMOLD technology
• Equally suitable for city rides, dirt jumps, BMX and family rides
• EPS inner shell with two different hardness levels and a hard outer shell for more safety
• The outer layer of the EPS inner shell, which is against the outer shell, is especially hard and durable
• MIPS impact protection system reduces rotational forces
• Size adjustment system
• Large vents
• Individually adjustable strap system
• Removable visor offers additional protection from sun and rain
• Buckle for one-handed operation

Technical details:
• CE EN 1078, CPSC 12.03, AS/NZ 2063
• Weight: approx. 305g (size M / L)

In the box:
• 1 POC CRANE MIPS cycling helmet

Highlights & Technologies:

INMOULD:
The inner shell is fused with the outer shell under high pressure and strong heat for a lasting connection. This makes the helmet very robust and lightweight.

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 MIPS 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 down 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.
