That lets the Kortal Race MIPS’ pads, indistinguishable from POC’s SPIN Pads, slide against the low-friction layer for a lower-profile, rotational-impact-absorbing solution that doesn’t interfere with the helmet’s vents. The slippery yellow layer of plastic that once defined MIPS is now invisibly in-molded into the Kortal Race’s EPS foam, similar to how a helmet’s polycarbonate shell is attached. POC was the first brand to introduce MIPS technology in a bike helmet, and the brands have been partners since 2009, save a short hiatus when POC went its own way to develop POC Spin. MIPS Integra: Protection Without Pulling Your HairĪt the heart of the helmet is a new system, co-developed by POC and MIPS, that not only won’t get caught in your hair but is also more or less invisible. Sjögren added that such features include improved visibility, aramid barriers, and near-field communication (NFC) medical ID chips. “Our Whole helmet concept illustrates that in today’s world, a helmet can, and should, do significantly more than just manage impacts.” “Even if safety is better understood … we have to keep looking ahead to consider and evaluate what we have and what we need for the future,” POC CEO Jonas Sjögren said.
The helmet has a long list of safety features, some brand-new, and all of them released under POC’s new “Whole helmet concept.” With bikes becoming more capable, and riders going bigger on a regular basis, POC has stepped up its helmet protection with the Kortal Race MIPS, an all-mountain bike helmet for aggressive trail and enduro riders.
With more safety features than any other bike helmet made, the Kortal MIPS Race gives riders the best chance of walking away from a bike crash.
