FALCONER AERO 2VI MIPS Bike Helmet

Fast and aerodynamic like a falcon: The FALCONER AERO 2VI MIPS bike helmet by Sweet Protection is designed for speed. A focus on aerodynamics and low weight, in combination with complex impact protection and MIPS, makes sure that you can truly enjoy fast rides. The highlight: Switch to aero mode whenever you like with the magnetic covers!

Impact protection and shock absorption are key features of this bike helmet. The EPS layer with zone-specific density and elasticity offers excellent protection at low and high speeds. In addition, MIPS helps reduce rotational forces in case of an impact. This helmet also impresses with a low weight and perfect ventilation, thanks to the STACC ventilation system. And if you get too warm, you can remove the aero covers in no time at all and simply tuck them into your jersey pocket.

The 360 OCCIGRIP fitting system by Sweet Protection ensures intuitive, one-handed width and height adjustment, while the cleverly placed silicone prints hold your eyewear safely on the front of the helmet. What’s more, the magnetic FIDLOCK fastener makes opening and closing the helmet super easy. Good times ahead!

Highlights & Technologies:

MIPS: WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet. It is designed to rotate inside the helmet and thus slow down or reduce the impact energy acting on the brain, which helps reduce head injuries caused by rotational impacts.
WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.
HOW DOES MIPS WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow down or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.

360 OCCIGRIP:
The fitting system creates a customised fit that can be easily adjusted on the go with the help of the dial. The sizing system runs completely around your head on a horizontal axis. Thanks to its slim design, it is barely noticeable and yet particularly effective. In the 360 version, the Sweet Protection system also has an on the fly height adjustment for an even better fit.

STACC:
The ventilation channels in this helmet extend from the front to the back of the head. They are positioned in such a way that air is channelled along the superficial temporal artery in particular. The five letters stand for “Superficial Temporal Arteries Cooling Channel”. In this way, the air flow cools the head for a long time and ensures a pleasant feeling on hot days.

FIDLOCK:
FIDLOCK is a self-closing magnetic closure that ensures quick and secure opening and closing of the helmet, even with a single hand or when wearing gloves. Thanks to the Fidlock system, the closure shuts automatically and prevents the skin from being pinched.

2Vi:
Helmets of the 2Vi line by Sweet Protection are the manufacturer’s top products in terms of technology, performance and comfort. In addition, these helmets are equipped with the MIPS system and complex proprietary impact protection technologies so that they also offer impressive safety in case of a crash.
