Bell MX-9 Mips Zone Helmet (MD)

Bell MX-9 Mips Zone Helmet

Bell sweated the details on the MX-9 Mips so you can focus on tearing up the trails. The MX-9 Mips boasts a tough polycarbonate shell, Mips energy management system, an adjustable visor, Velocity Flow ventilation, and a removable, washable, antimicrobial liner for when the time comes to hose down. The MX-9 Mips packs all these features into one helmet, delivering exceptional value and pro-caliber performance.

Features:

• Mips® safety system How does the Mips® safety system work? The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has shear properties similar to water or gel. When different parts of the brain move relative to each other because of rotational motion, the tissues can stretch, which can cause concussions or other brain injuries. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more severe brain injury in oblique hits to the head. The Mips® safety system consists of a low friction layer mounted inside the helmet. In a crash, the low friction layer is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury.

• ECE 22.06 ECE 22.06 is a helmet safety rating that extends and increases the testing requirements of ECE 22.05 (with 22.05 being a more modern, more comprehensive European alternative to DOT). With 22.06, 12 additional impact points are analyzed (now totaling 18) and impact speed is increased (from 7.5 to 8.2 m/s). Unlike DOT, every ECE helmet model must actually be tested by an independent lab before it receives 22.06 certification. certified
