Modern helmets are a lot more than a hard plastic shell filled with foam. Inside that shell is a carefully engineered system designed to manage how energy moves through your head during a crash. It’s not just about absorbing impact straight on, but also about controlling twisting forces, reducing peak loads, and buying your brain precious milliseconds to stay intact.
That’s where technologies like Mips and Koroyd come in.
Mips AB focuses on rotational impacts, and its system allows a small amount of controlled movement between the helmet and the head, reducing the rotational forces that are most closely linked to brain injury. Koroyd tackles the problem from another angle. Its welded tube structures crush instantly on impact, managing straight line energy in a predictable and efficient way.
