Product Information

Fit system: Float Fit - a minimalist, lightweight fit system with an easy-to-turn rubber overmolded dial for adjustments (integrated with MIPS) The granting of a best price is not combinable with other promotions (e.g. "free articles) from Bike-Discount.

With features like integrated MIPS and an easy Ergo Fit dial, the Nomad 2 MIPS represents what bicycling is really about: the freedom of getting on your bike and exploring. With In-Mold construction, the tough polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to the impact-absorbing EPS inner shell in one step while it foams. This makes the helmet even more resistant without adding weight. This production process also makes it possible to form significantly better ventilation systems and vents. In-Mold helmets are therefore lighter than traditional helmets and have significantly better ventilation systems.

At its core, MIPS technology mimics your head’s own protective structure. Between your skull and your brain is a layer of cerebrospinal fluid, which allows your brain to slide inside your head, protecting it from rotational forces caused by oblique impacts.

Seyffarth says any helmet available on the market with the MIPS yellow dot has been tested by the company and passed the standards it requires for release. One standout feature of the AVENUE MIPS is its inclusion of MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System). Typically found in higher-end helmets, this innovative system provides added protection in multiple directions, ensuring that your head is well-protected during impact. This level of safety is rarely seen in helmets at this price point, making it a real steal for riders. Extra safety is no bad idea in our eyes, and MIPS builds a convincing case for why taking measures to protect yourself against rotational impacts is wise.WaveCel,” says Sam Foos at Bontrager, “is a collapsible cellular material that is designed to be more effective than traditional foam helmets in protecting your head from injuries caused by certain cycling accidents. It works by going through a three-step change in material structure to help absorb the rotational force of impact before it reaches your head.”
