Troy Lee SE5 Carbon Optic Helmet

Troy Lee Designs SE5 Carbon Helmet

The SE5 Carbon Helmet from Troy Lee begins with a lightweight, race-bred carbon fiber shell. Superior ventilation, emergency quick-release cheek pads and  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. move the SE5 Carbon Helmet even closer to the podium. Advanced aerodynamics, superior ventilation, reduced mass make SE5 Carbon a helmet that is just as comfortable to ride with everyday as it is to race with on game day. 

Features:

• Optimized carbon fiber shell
• Mips® Integra TX When a helmet is impacted at an angle, it can cause the head to rotate suddenly and violently. This is a common source of concussions and brain injury. The Mips® Integra TX system is designed to provide movement inside the helmet to help reduce rotational motion to the head in certain angled impacts, thereby lowering the risk of such injuries. Mips® Integra TX features a thin, low-friction layer integrated between the fabric and the foam of the padding, allowing omnidirectional movement inside the helmet. This makes for an invisible and fully integrated system. The low-friction layer is designed to help reduce rotational motion without altering comfort and fit or adding weight to the helmet. safety system
• Three shell sizes to more accurately fit a variety of head sizes and rider ages
• Quick release XT2 3D cheek pads
• X-static/ XT2 washable liner for optimized fit with advanced anti-microbial properties
• Dual Density EPS liner Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, energy absorbing foam. In the helmet industry, EPS is the most common means of energy management to protect the brain. Generic EPS is often referred to as “Styrofoam” (a trademarked name owned by the Dow Chemical Company). Premium helmet producers utilize multi-density EPS liners to balance comfort, safety and performance.
