Smith Optics Payroll MIPS

Yes. The Payroll MIPS meets the NTA8776 E-bike safety certification, meaning it is specifically tested and rated to handle the higher speeds and impact forces associated with electric mountain biking.

The integrated Aleck sensor detects significant impacts and automatically sends an alert with your GPS location to your designated emergency contacts via the Aleck app. It is a passive safety feature that provides extra peace of mind when riding solo.

The helmet features Smith's AirEvac ventilation system, which is specifically designed to pull warm, moist air away from your eyewear and out through the helmet vents. This creates consistent airflow that significantly reduces fogging, even during high-exertion climbs.

Absolutely. The visor is adjustable into three different positions, allowing you to easily stow your goggles underneath it when you aren't wearing them.

MIPS is a slip-plane system inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces during an angled impact. Koroyd is the honeycomb-like material you see in the vents; it is designed to crumple instantly upon impact to absorb energy more efficiently than traditional EPS foam.

Yes, the Ionic+ antimicrobial lining is removable. This is particularly helpful for washing away sweat and keeping the helmet fresh after long, intense rides.
