Helmet Alpina TAUNUS GRAVEL MIPS green

Gravel riding (gravel) is here to stay – TAUNUS GRAVEL MIPS is designed for enjoying exactly this freedom. This sporty and dynamic helmet is the ideal companion for the cyclist who knows no limits – whether what lies ahead is endless dusty gravel roads, unknown forest trails or fast riding on tarmac. Taunus Gravel Mips is designed for the rider who values safety without having to sacrifice style or comfort, offering top-level protection on any terrain.

Maximum safety is ensured by a durable ceramic outer shell combined with an impact-absorbing Hi-EPS inner layer. The MIPS protection system integrated into the inside of the helmet is specially designed to reduce the dangerous rotational forces that occur in diagonal impacts, providing important additional protection for the brain. The lower-reaching rear section and deeper temple areas provide additional safety precisely in the critical areas.

The helmet’s streamlined design is optimised to reduce wind resistance even in a low riding position. Large vents ensure a constant flow of fresh air and keep your head cool even during the most intense effort or on a hot summer’s day. Thanks to the lightweight materials and ergonomic construction, the Taunus Gravel Mips is so comfortable that you barely notice it on your head, making it the perfect gear for your next big adventure on unknown trails.

Technologies:

• Airflow Venting – strategically placed vents guarantee ideal airflow
• Ceramic Shell – durable outer layer made of ceramic material: impact- and scratch-resistant, UV-stable and antistatic
• Edge Protect – the lower edges of the helmet are protected by a polycarbonate shell
• Ergomatic – twist-proof, easy-to-fasten and adjustable buckle with multi-stage automatic locking
• Hi-EPS (High Expanded Polystyrene) – inner shell material (padding) with microscopically small air chambers that ensures optimal protection in the event of an impact
• Inmold – low weight, greater durability and better impact resistance thanks to a production technology in which the hard outer shell of the helmet and the impact-absorbing Hi-EPS inner shell are bonded together under intense heat and pressure during manufacture
• MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) – a carefully designed protection system integrated into the inner parts of the helmet that protects the brain from permanent damage at the moment of impact. On impact, the MIPS layer slides 10–15 mm in every direction, allowing the helmet to rotate around the head at a certain angle, reducing the effect of the impact and protecting against brain injury
• Run System Ergo Flex – a simple and comfortable Alpina adjustment system that allows the helmet to be adjusted precisely and comfortably to the head
• Y-Clip – adjustable straps under the ears that allow adjustment to the millimetre
