Mavic Ksyrium Pro (MIPS)

The Mavic Ksyrium Pro helmet, when you spend long hours in the saddle, your gear choices are critical. Your comfort affects your speed and endurance. This helmet is made with advanced fit technologies, protection and ventilation to help you push your limits. Our patented Live Fit technology uses XRD foam construction that molds to your head shape with a precise, personalized fit. The Ergo Hold SL retention system allows you to fine-tune that fit, quickly and easily with just one hand. And the Ksyrium Pro Pad offers optimized support and cushioning, also featuring 37.5 technology, which uses active particles to absorb heat from your head and wick sweat away five times faster than traditional fabric. There’s even a mosquito mesh to shield you from bugs.

We integrated the latest MIPS system, which can reduce the rotational forces of a crash with its low-friction inner layer. When the head rotates rapidly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration can cause high levels of stress in the brain tissue. The tissue strain caused by these movements can result in various types of brain injuries. We believe that helmets equipped with MIPS technology bring the highest level of protection against certain types of impacts. MIPS uses a slip plane technology that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the same protection system that the brain uses. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the aim of potentially slowing or reducing the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science shows that if we can reduce the stress associated with rotational acceleration, we can reduce the risk and severity of brain damage.
