Fly Racing 2019 F2 Helmet With MIPS - Rockstar

The F2 Carbon Helmet has established itself as a top choice in race circuits around the world. The helmet earned a reputation as one of the most comfortable helmets on the market. The new F2 has taken this to the next level with its one-piece tri-composite carbon fiber shell and mouth guard, MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System), and best in class airflow. The new F2 excels at impact technology without compromising the comfortable fit - with an all-new bold look.

• Construction:
• MIPS Brain Protection System: helmet-integrated, low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts.
• Carbon matrix composite shell.
• Dual-density EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) liner.
• Custom rubber trim with integrated nose guard.
• Lightweight machined aluminum visor screws.
• Stainless steel rivets and D-rings.
• Two shells and three EPS sizes for a precise fit.
• Comfort / Liner:
• Removable and washable COOLMAX comfort liner and cheek pads.
• Ventilation:
• All FLY helmets have TFV (True Functional Ventilation): When in motion air is forced through multiple air intake vents, then passed through aligned vent channels in the EPS and exits out multiple rear exhaust vents.
• Quad-vent above eye port draws air from goggle to reduce fogging.
• Included Accessories:
• Soft fleece helmet bag.
• Standard:
• ECE / DOT approved.

MIPS:

MIPS is an advanced and efficient brain protection system that provides a secure environment for riders of all kinds. MIPS industry-leading technology deals with "rotational violence" which is found to be the leading cause of concussion and even more severe brain injuries. It mimics the brain's own protection system.

When the head hits the ground at an angle, the brain slides along a membrane on the inner surface of the skull, which reduces the rotational forces transmitted to the brain. The MIPS yellow Low Friction Layer (LFL) sits between the helmet's EPS and the liner. At impact there is a movement, independent of direction, between MIPS and the liner that substantially reduces the rotational force to the brain.

MIPS does not interfere with a helmet's existing safety property, performance or design, adding minimal weight and less than 1 mm in thickness. It's based on more than 15 years of R&D at the Royal Institute of Technology and The Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden.
