Giro Fixture MIPS II

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows it to slide slightly during an angled impact, which helps reduce the rotational forces transferred to your brain.

Yes, the visor is fully removable. It snaps on and off easily, allowing you to adapt the helmet for different riding conditions or personal preference.

The dial system is located at the back of the helmet and allows you to micro-adjust the tension around your head with one hand. It ensures a snug, secure fit that prevents the helmet from shifting while you navigate bumpy trails.

While the Fixture MIPS II is specifically designed for mountain biking, its half-shell profile and ventilation make it versatile enough for gravel riding or commuting. However, it lacks the aerodynamic profile and specific features found on dedicated road helmets.

The standard buckle is a reliable, time-tested design that is very easy to operate, even with gloves on. While some high-end helmets use magnetic buckles, this traditional style offers a secure connection that is straightforward to fasten and release.
