Product Details

The Synthe Mips® II is an icon, lighter and more comfortable than ever before. The compact design slips through the air with ease, yet offers impressive cooling power in a light-yet-durable design that's been a rider favorite for years now. 

It's packed with our best features, including the Roc Loc 5 Air Mips fit system with 2-way fit tuning and Integrated Mips (the Multi-directional Impact Protection System), the market-leading system designed to redirect rotational forces away from the brain and provide more protection in certain impacts.

  • In-Mold construction
  • Thermoformed SL roll cage enforcement
  • 19 vents with deep internal channeling
  • Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS fit system
  • Weight: 265g (medium)
  • Sizes:
    • Small: 51-55cm
    • Medium: 55-59cm
    • Large: 59-63cm

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 can 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.
