iXS TRIGGER X MIPS MTB Helmet

The TRIGGER X MIPS helmet from iXS is a streamlined full-face helmet with outstanding protection thanks to the MIPS Brain Protection System.
An open face shape and ideal ventilation meet comprehensive coverage of the back and sides of the head for a high level of protection. The trail helmet thus combines first-class ventilation with high coverage by combining the lowered design at the back with reduced volume at the front. This makes the helmet predestined for the longest, toughest and hottest days on the trail. MIPS and goggle compatibility are a matter of course and the integrated – internal and external – ventilation channels ensure a constant airflow so you can ride all season long without any problems.

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 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.

DUAL INMOULD:
In this construction, the robust polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to the impact-absorbing EPS inner shell in a single operation during the foaming process. This makes the helmet even more resistant without adding weight. This production process also makes it possible to shape significantly better ventilation systems and vents. Inmould helmets are therefore lighter than traditional helmets and have significantly better ventilation systems. In the case of Dual Inmould, a second polycarbonate outer shell provides additional protection and also protects the edges of the helmet from damages.

ERGOFIT ULTRA:
The headband system allows the helmet to be individually adjusted. The headband can be adjusted horizontally and vertically using the adjustment dial.
