Alpina Plose MIPS – Capacete – MTB

Enduro helmet with MIPS system: the Plose MIPS helmet from Alpina

First and foremost, the high-quality Run System Ergo Plus guarantees optimum support. With its fine adjustment system, it can be perfectly adapted to the head. The height of the adjustment system can also be adjusted using the integrated Custom Fit System. This results in a secure fit and optimum protection. The outer shell of the Enduro and MTB helmet consists of a robust polycarbonate plate that is thermally bonded to the Hi-EPS using the Inmold process. This results in a firm surface connection, which provides additional stability.

The equipment list of the ALPINA PLOSE MIPS also includes a large shield that protects the field of vision, antibacterial and washable padding for a high level of comfort and a fly screen in the front ventilation openings.

Features – Plose MIPS

• MIPS: is a system that protects against brain injuries that can be caused by rotational movements in the event of an impact
• Airflow Venting: directs cooling air along the head
• Fly Net: the front ventilation openings of the helmet are fitted with a mesh fabric
• Ceramic Shell: break- and scratch-resistant, UV-stable and antistatic
• Custom Fit: the optimum fit can be adjusted using a wheel at the back of the head
• Edge Protect: increases the durability of the helmet by covering the edges
• Ergomatic: closure can be operated with one hand and remains firmly closed in the event of a fall
• Hi-EPS: small air chambers absorb forces in the event of an impact to protect the head
• Inmold: the thermal connection between the upper and lower shell makes the helmet light and stable
• Run System Ergo PRO: the top model has two large “headrests” to the left and right of the newly designed central dial
• Shield Protect: the removable shield protects against splashing dirt as well as direct sunlight
• Y-Clip: guarantees precise adjustment of the seat position and therefore the best possible protection

Technologies

MIPS
MIPS is a system that protects against brain injuries that can be caused by rotational movements in the event of an impact. The low-friction insert enables a sliding movement of 10-15 mm in all directions and thus reduces the rotational movement in the event of a fall. MIPS thus offers additional protection.

AIR FLOW VENTING
Alpina developers spend a lot of time and energy on continuously improving the ventilation of our bike helmets. Our engineers create a “Venturi” effect inside the helmet through wind tunnel-tested arrangement of the vents, which cools the head, leads to less sweat and higher performance.

FLY NET
The front ventilation openings of the helmet are fitted with a mesh fabric. This fulfills the same function as an insect screen and prevents insect bites on the scalp in hot and humid riding periods and locations.

CERAMIC SHELL
All Inmold-manufactured helmets from Alpina are fitted with this shatterproof and scratch-resistant polycarbonate shell. The blank is stretched under high heat to the shape of the later helmet and pressed onto its Hi-EPS body under high pressure. The material is characterized by several qualities at the same time: It is break- and scratch-resistant, UV-stable and antistatic.

CUSTOM FIT
Different head shapes require a flexible fitting system. In combination with the Run System, Custom Fit ensures a non-slip fit. The neckband at the back of the head can be tilted in several stages and grips the head gently and without pressure points.

EDGE PROTECT
Edge Protect is a manufacturing process that ensures Inmold helmets have no sharp edges. This reduces the risk of injury in two ways: firstly, the hands are protected when handling the helmet, and secondly, in the event of an impact, the neck and shoulder area are protected from scratches on contact with the lower edge of the helmet.

ERGOMATIC
Tried and tested hundreds of thousands of times and used in all Alpina bicycle helmets: the familiar belt buckle with red push button and multi-stage automatic latching mechanism. Ergomatic can be operated with one hand – uphill you can loosen the strap, downhill you can tighten it – and cannot open itself in the event of a fall.

HI-EPS
The inner shell of every Alpina helmet is made of Hi-EPS (“High Expanded Polystyrene”). It consists of microscopically small air chambers which optimally absorb the forces acting on the helmet in the event of an impact. HI-EPS ensures extra-thin wall thicknesses and narrow helmet shapes despite its optimum protective effect.

INMOLD
In the Inmold production process, the polycarbonate upper shell of the helmet is “bonded” to the EPS granules of the helmet body under high heat and pressure. This creates a large and inseparable bond between the upper and lower shells. Advantage: The helmet is very light and extremely stable at the same time.

RUN SYSTEM ERGO PRO
The top model of the new Alpina adjustment systems for the back of the head has two large “headrests” to the left and right of the newly designed central dial. Both these two wing-shaped pads and the adjustment wheel itself are made from a two-component mix of plastic and rubber. Since 2014, the Run System Ergo Pro has been available in colors to match the helmet.

SHIELD PROTECT
The removable shield protects against splashing dirt as well as direct sunlight.

Y-CLIP
A helmet can only protect as well as it stays in the optimum position on impact. The fixation of the two straps under the ear plays a decisive role in this. The “Y-Clip” system from Alpina guarantees millimeter-precise adjustment – in a matter of seconds.
