This summer, Endura makes a splash with a wide range of new & updated helmets. Several key styles were re-imagined and now include top-tier technology. For example, Mips and Koroyd are now both available in the latest models of the MT500 and SingleTrack helmets.
Endura, established in 1993 (almost 30 years ago!), also introduces a Mips option in Hummvee Plus helmet. And for the first time, the new FS2 helmet in their urban line comes equipped with Mips.
“A helmet is obviously meant to protect you from getting seriously injured in a crash,” relayed John Thompson from Mips. “The Mips safety system inside the helmet is engineered to allow for movement of the head inside the helmet on certain angled impacts, intended to help redirect rotational motion away from the head, with the purpose to help reduce the risk of brain injury,” he explained.
Stylish and technically advanced
Specs notwithstanding, Endura’s diverse and unique designs ensure all types of riders can be protected in style, no matter their riding preferences; MTB, Road, Urban, or otherwise.
“We’ve been producing great helmets and growing the range for many years, but summer ’22 sees a step change in Endura’s offer, both in terms of choice and technical safety features,” said Ian Young, Endura Category Manager. He further explained, “The addition of Mips options and expanding our use of Koroyd technology demonstrate [Endura’s] goal of creating the best in class product.”
