ABUS CliffHanger MIPS

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during certain types of angled impacts, providing an extra layer of safety beyond standard foam protection.

Yes, the CliffHanger features a ponytail-compatible retention system. The full headring design is specifically shaped to accommodate a ponytail, so you won't feel pressure points or have to adjust your hair placement to get a secure fit.

Absolutely. The Fidlock buckle uses a strong magnetic mechanism that snaps shut automatically and stays securely locked while you ride. It is designed to be easily operated with one hand, even while wearing gloves, without compromising safety.

No, the helmet is QUIN-compatible, meaning it is designed to house the sensor, but the sensor itself is sold separately. You can easily install the QUIN unit into the designated port if you want to add crash detection and emergency notification features.

The extended coverage at the back of the neck adds a small amount of material for increased protection, but ABUS has balanced this with a lightweight construction. While it provides more coverage than a standard road helmet, it remains well-ventilated for active trail riding.

Yes, the visor is indexed, meaning it clicks into specific positions. This allows you to easily adjust it up or down to suit your visibility needs or to stow your goggles, and it will stay securely in place once set.
