POC released its newest high-tech bike helmet, Kortal Race MIPS which features an enhanced system for brain protection, and NFC Medical ID Chip which allows the users to speak at times that they cannot through digital technology.
Kortal Race MIPS Features
According to a report by Pink Bike, the latest product of the Swedish biking accessories company introduced a stellar look of the helmet which boasts an adjustable visor and a RECCO reflector.
It was also the first bike helmet in the world to utilize the MIPS Integra system, which is important to reduce the impact on the brain. In addition, it comes with the Devour sunglasses together with its storage, so you can pedal continuously even amid the scorching heat of the sun.
Devour sunglasses are not ordinary glasses that you can see everywhere. It features its Clarity lens technology which suits to tune the colors. In addition, its frame design aids the rider to expand the peripheral vision on a wider range, which also comes with an allowance to allow sufficient airflow.
Moreover, this fits best during summer since it has UV protection (UV400) besides the fact that it can repel external elements in the environment like dirt and water. It cannot be scratched easily, too due to its anti-scratch coating.
Unlike ordinary bike helmets, the Kortal Race MIPS is integrated with technology, so the likeliness of acquiring severe injuries is decreased through its new MIPS Integra System.
The system acts as a cushion on the inside of the bike helmet, where it incorporates the foam structure. To imagine how it works, visualize that the padding of the equipment will slip, so it could produce low friction to keep your head intact.

Furthermore, the MIPS is also lightweight, and it will not compromise the load that you carry on your journey. It is engineered to adapt to the rotational forces that could damage your brain through collisions and other instances.
For its NFC Medical ID, this feature is most helpful in the case of accidents when the rider is unconscious or unable to speak. The digital technology in the helmet will be the one to communicate to the rescuers, the case similar to the man who stumbled in a pit and was able to call for responders using the features in his Google Pixel phone.
For its high-end visor, it is fully-adjustable at 360 degrees so it would break away when for instance, a rider injures his/her neck after crashing. It could also fit regardless of your head size.
In particular, it safeguards the areas around the temples as well the zones at the back of your head which are all considered the usual areas where injuries happen.
"Developing world-leading protection is the very reason POC exists. This, together with our clear mission opens up a whole new world of innovation and opportunity," POC Head of Product, Oscar Huss said in a report by Shop Eat Surf.
Huss added that the product has been in the limelight due to its integrated technology. He stated that the recognitions that they are receiving are enough to inspire them to improve and innovate their products in the future.
How Much Does Kortal Race MIPS Cost?
You can have many options when it comes to its colors such as Moonstone Grey, Uranium Black, Fluorite Green, and others. It also comes in three sizes which you can buy at $250.
