The helmet for Enduro & Downhill-oriented mountain biking
The MET X ION Scrub Select
MIPS has everything you would expect from a premium helmet: light weight with maximum safety thanks to the carbon shell & MIPS system, wearing comfort thanks to sufficient ventilation and practical features such as a safety release or flexible visor. Due to its carbon shell, the top model of the MET X ION helmets convinces with its ultimate light weight.
highlights
- MIPS® - brain protection system: The low-friction shell allows a movement of 10-15mm in several directions in certain cases of an oblique impact, which is intended to reduce rotational forces acting on the head
- Carbon construction: Super light carbon shell combined with EPS inner shell for maximum safety with minimum weight
- Visor with safety lock: Flexible visor with safety lock, which opens automatically if you fall on your head and protects your neck from overturning
- Ventilation: Internal ventilation channels and openings ensure a comfortable flow of air. Further openings under the visor ensure that your goggles or glasses do not fog up while driving and that the forehead area remains pleasantly dry
- Vented Chinbar: Integrated vents allow you to breathe easily and prevent moisture from building up inside the helmet
- Hearing Vents: Special vents let you hear better, giving you control and overview of your surroundings
- Snap-in pad: Comfortable & detachable inner pad

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 movement than linear movement 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 defense system that allows the brain to move offset to the skull.
