Best cycling helmet: protect your head on the road

The best road bike helmets balance aerodynamics, breathability, comfort and protection. Here’s a guide on how to choose the right one for you.

What is MIPS?

Probably, MIPS technology is familiar to you. The MIPS Brain Protection System is a helmet integrated, low friction layer designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain during an impact. Most popular brands in cycling use this kind of technology: Giro, Bell, POC, Oakley..

However, other good quality helmets also protect our head. Each brand develops its own security system. In addition, MIPS influences the final price.

What is the difference between a MTB and road helmet?

Road bike helmets don’t have a visor and have more air vents. However, there are a lot of aero helmets with a really good airflow system. Therefore, you can find cycling helmets with less air vents if you buy a aero product.

On the other hand, a road cycling helmet is more seeker and compact. Another big difference is the shape, MTB helmet has a better protection for the back of the head (and the brain’s occipital lobe). Because falls on rocky paths can be more dangerous in this area of our head.
