uvex CITY I-VO 2 MIPS Urban Bike Helmet

Visible. Safe. Carefree. In everyday road traffic, good intentions are often not enough to be well protected when travelling. The CITY I-VO 2 MIPS bike helmet from uvex has everything you need on your way to work, the shops or the lake: Reliable protection, high comfort and visibility. DOUBLE-INMOULD technology combines shock-absorbing, recycled EPS hard foam with overlapping, seamlessly connected polycarbonate helmet shells – for a stable yet lightweight construction. The protection is complemented by the integrated MIPS safety system, which provides additional protection in the event of an angled impact. Comfortable extra: The 3D IAS system precisely adjusts the height and width of the helmet to any head shape. Removable, washable inner pads made from recycled material provide additional comfort, while 25 vents with fly screens ensure fresh air even on warm days. An integrated visor protects against sun and rain without restricting the field of vision. The practical MONOMATIC fastener completes the comfort package. And when it gets late? No problem. Reflective design elements and, of course, the rechargeable plug-in LED rear light ensure better visibility. Whether in the city centre or out in the countryside, the uvex city i-vo 2 MIPS bike helmet is with you.

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 IT 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 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.

DOUBLE INMOULD:
Additional stability, seamless protection, a low weight and all this from a single mould is provided by the Double Inmould technology. The inseparable connection of shock-absorbing EPS hard foam and two overlapping and seamlessly connected polycarbonate helmet shells ensures high stability and low weight. 

3D IAS:
A height- and width-adjustable half ring allows you to individually adapt the helmet to your head size. The system ensures especially precise and almost infinite adjustment. In addition, reflective elements are integrated into the IAS adjustment wheel for improved visibility.

MONOMATIC:
Secure, comfortable fit and easy handling at the touch of a button. The multi-stage, anatomic uvex monomatic comfort fastener can be used with one hand only at the touch of a button. This way, you can precisely adjust the length of the chin strap and ensure a secure fit of the helmet.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
