FOX Mainframe helmet kids unisize fluorescent red

Affordable MTB helmet for young bikers

As for your junior's head, don't take chances. The Mainframe Youth offers young pilots exactly the same proven safety features that the Mainframe guarantees to older pilots, all with the same casual trail style, of course. The helmet design offers extended coverage for more protection for the head, while the proven MIPS™ impact protection absorbs and dissipates the incoming energies and forces in the event of a fall so that they cannot cause damage. With a lightweight, custom-fit design, the mainframe also ensures that your junior always keeps a cool head. If the helmet is no longer quite as dewy, the moisture-wicking liner can be easily removed and washed so that odor doesn't stand a chance. Reliable protection at a price that won't dent your wallet

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

MIPS
The MIPS® safety system was developed to provide additional protection for helmets in numerous accidents. In certain impact situations, the MIPS system can reduce dangerous forces that might otherwise be transmitted to the helmet wearer's head.

1. Conventional helmets are designed and tested for a straight impact. In most cases, however, the impact is at an angle, which can cause rotational movements for the head.

2. This rotational movement can cause brain injury.

3. The low-friction shell is designed to help reduce rotational movement of the head in certain cases of angled impact.

Straight impact - oblique impact

The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has a shear strength similar to that of water or gel. When rotational movement causes different parts of the brain to move at different times, the tissues can be stretched, causing concussions or other brain injuries.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussion and more serious brain injury from an oblique impact to the head. The MIPS system consists of a low-friction shell that is fixed inside the helmet. The low-friction shell is designed to slide slightly inside the helmet in the event of an accident, allowing forces to be directed away from the head. It is said to help reduce the risk of brain injuries.

Most conventional helmets are designed for a straight impact, but in most cases the impact is at an angle. The low-friction shell can reduce the rotational forces of an oblique impact.

Security system with the brain as a model

Unlike conventional helmets, which are primarily designed and tested for a straight impact, the low-friction shell of the MIPS system mimics the brain's own protection system against rotational movement. The cerebrospinal fluid is our natural protective system that allows the brain to move offset to the skull.
