Mips, known for its rotational impact protection technology, launched its first helmet in 2007 and quickly became an ingredient brand, supplying major helmet makers with its technology. Although Mips is the most recognized system, it faces competition from proprietary technologies like Smartshock by 100%, Giro's Spherical system, Trek's WaveCel, and Koroyd's tube structure. Each system offers unique methods for managing impact forces, indicating an evolving landscape in helmet safety. As advancements continue, riders should consider various options when selecting a protective helmet while being aware of the integration of multiple systems for enhanced safety.
Mips launched its first proprietary helmet in 2007, becoming an ingredient brand by selling its technology to major brands, resulting in widespread recognition of its logo.
Several brands have developed proprietary systems similar to Mips, including 100%'s Smartshock and Giro's Spherical technology, offering varied mechanisms for impact protection.
Trek and Koroyd have also created systems that absorb impacts in unique ways, such as crumpling or utilizing tube structures to reduce forces upon collision.
While Mips is the most recognized system, several alternatives exist that can offer enhanced protection, such as WaveCel and Koroyd, which may be integrated into helmets.
