Hardline Mips Matte Chalk

The Hardline Mips Matte Chalk is a downhill mountain bike helmet from the brand Smith, designed to perform on World Cup stage courses or for leisure.

This helmet embodies excellence in protection and performance for downhill MTB enthusiasts. Indeed, Koroyd® technology ensures superior energy absorption thanks to its unique tubular structure. This innovative material creates controlled deformation zones, significantly reducing the risk of head injuries. Another highly effective system featured in this helmet is Mips®, a cutting-edge technology that minimises rotational forces transmitted to the brain during oblique impacts. This system allows the helmet’s inner shell to slip slightly relative to the head, dissipating impact energy and protecting the brain.

The helmet is also equipped with extended protection around the clavicle, a zone often vulnerable during falls. Two protection zones at the cervical area safeguard your neck in case of an unexpected fall. As for the quick-release cheek pads, they provide incredible comfort while also facilitating rescue interventions in emergencies.

In terms of comfort, the Hardline Mips comes with two sets of washable cheek pads that also assist emergency responders, plus two liners for the top of the head and the neck. This ensures a fast and precise fit. Finally, the antimicrobial Ionic+® liner limits unpleasant odours caused by sweat, while the AirEvac™ ventilation system guarantees optimal airflow to prevent fogging on glasses or goggles.

Thus, the Hardline Mips is a premium downhill MTB helmet that combines protection and comfort to optimise riders’ performance on the most technical courses.
