Light in hills, aerodynamic on flats and spurts. The Stratus is a high-end racing helmet using the same shape as the top model Z20, but made with traditional In-mold technology with Roll Cage rib reinforcement.
MIPS technology available in selected colors. MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) provides increased protection against rotational forces on the head.
Float Fit CLAMPING SYSTEM (MIPS integration for the variant with the MIPS system)
CONSTRUCTION Fusion In-mold Polycarbonate Shell, Roll Cage
VENTILATION 18 holes, Overbrow Ventilation
FEATURES lightweight Tri-Glides tape, X-Static® padding
SIZES S (52-56 cm), M (55-59 cm), L (58-62 cm)
MIPS IS A MOVEMENT
All Bell helmets are designed to absorb as much energy as possible during an impact and meet the current European standard: EN 1078. The goal of the new MIPS technology is to eliminate the rotational forces that act on the head in the event of a fall. In an impact at any angle, the MIPS system allows the EPS shell of the helmet to rotate independently around the rider's head. Although this movement is only on the order of a few millimeters, we believe that MIPS technology significantly reduces the amount of rotational force that would otherwise be transmitted to the brain.
WHAT IS MIPS (Multidirectional Impact Protection System) AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
MIPS is a slippery insert between the EPS shell (helmet body) and the inner linings. In the event of an impact at an angle (for example, when you catch your head on a branch), the EPS shell of the helmet rotates a few millimeters after the MIPS layer, protecting the head and brain from a violent rotational jerk.
