The Cadence Mips is a racing helmet designed for high performance and maximum comfort. Through extensive tests in a wind-tunnel every detail of this helmet has been analyzed. With its aerodynamic and sleek design, the Cadence Mips gives optimal airflow and cooling, enhancing the riders comfort and keeping them focused during intense performances. Its new Mips® air node technology allows for optimal protection against rotational impacts and the inclusion of front vent plugs ensures aero optimization and warmth in cold weather.
MIPS® Safety System
The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has shear properties similar to water or gel. When different parts of the brain move relative to each other because of rotational motion, the tissues can stretch, which can cause concussions or other brain injuries.
Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more severe brain injury in oblique hits to the head. The Mips® safety system consists of a low friction layer mounted inside the helmet. In a crash, the low friction layer is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury.
A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT MIMICS THE BRAIN
Unlike traditional helmets, which are mainly designed and tested for straight impacts, the Mips® safety system’s low-friction layer mimics the brain’s own system for protection against rotational motion.
