Sweet Protection TUCKER III 2Vi MIPS Road Helmet

Pure aerodynamics: The TUCKER III 2Vi MIPS road helmet from Sweet Protection tames the airflow to help you get even more aero gains in the race, because every watt counts. 

The aerodynamically clean surface of the bike helmet hides a multitude of features that will make your fast laps even more enjoyable. The precisely positioned ventilation openings are connected to ventilation channels inside the helmet, which not only optimise the airflow, but also guide the wind close to your head to keep you cool. The eyewear grippers hold your glasses securely while riding and during breaks. However, they can also be closed quickly when aerodynamics matter. Last but not least, the 4-shell construction of the road helmet is impact-resistant and equipped with the lightweight MIPS AIR NODE system for added protection in the event of an angled impact.

Highlights & Technologies:

MIPS: 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.

360 OCCIGRIP:
The fitting system creates a customised fit that can be easily adjusted on the go with the help of the dial. The sizing system runs completely around your head on a horizontal axis. Thanks to its slim design, it is barely noticeable and yet particularly effective. In the 360 version, the Sweet Protection system also has an on the fly height adjustment for an even better fit.

2Vi:
Helmets of the 2Vi line by Sweet Protection are the manufacturer's top products in terms of technology, performance and comfort. In addition, these helmets are equipped with the MIPS system and complex proprietary impact protection technologies so that they also offer impressive safety in case of a crash.
