Urge Endur-O-Matic 2 MIPS Helmet 2017 Review

• Urge Endur-O-Matic 2 MIPS Helmet. The Endur-O-Matic has been the statement helmet for Urge since 2009, the one that everything stemmed from. It came as a real bombshell at a time when MTB helmet production held no surprises It made a huge impression on a generation of MTB riders but the time has now come for it to get a facelift, probably even some major surgery in certain aspects. Of course it retains some of the lines and codes of its famous big brother but also plenty of enhancements aimed at making this helmet able to take on the challenges that face any real MTB rider. The Endur-O-Matic 2 offers more protection, more ventilation and comfort, more eco-friendliness but remains as classy and unique as always MIPS¬†stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the¬†helmet¬†designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts What is MIPS?MIPS is a Brain Protection SystemRotational motion can cause brain injuriesThe low friction layer allows a sliding movement of 10‚Äì15 mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impactMIPS adds protection¬†Features: MIPS Technology IntegratedMaterial: 100% recycled EPS (reused waste coming from the automotive industry)Straps made out of recycled PET (plastic)Tight fit around the head for an ‚Äúanti-mushroom‚Äù effectIn-mould conception with 4 shells for better finish and durability of the exposed areas28 ventsOptimisation of the Venturi effect with air channels inside the shell before extraction to the rear ventsThe butterfly cage provides optimised cohesion of the shell structure for better impact absorption and therefore better safetyButterfly cage blades facilitate the air penetration inside the shellA smooth shell, with a reduced volume and more coverage on the rear and sides makes a highly protective helmetReduction of the rotational impact on the head and brain in case of a crashReduced hooking riskHigher protection of the neck and occipitalSuper light and flexible visor for more safety in case of a crashMonobloc design to ensure the perfect balance between comfort and breathabilityPadding is washable, anti-bacterial and moisture wickingOptimised shape for use of goggles and glassesThe BOA system fits around the entire skull it’s simple, lightweight and super-efficient, with 2 height adjustment anchor pointsStrap anchors have been completely redesigned for better adjustment ergonomicsCertifications:¬†NF EN 1078 + A1 February 2013, CPSC 16 CFR Part 1203, AS/NZS 2063 2008Weight:¬†349g (Size S/M)Buy Urge Protection from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
