That looks really nice having just checked out their website.
A couple of questions though:
- What do they think of the whole MIPS movement, considering that a custom fit would preclude the ability to have a roll cage inside and further might amplify the concussive effect given that the helmet would fit perfectly and so not roll at all?
- Why aren't they marketing based on the fact that a custom fit would minimise the appearance and make you look less of a knob?
- What do they think of the whole MIPS movement, considering that a custom fit would preclude the ability to have a roll cage inside and further might amplify the concussive effect given that the helmet would fit perfectly and so not roll at all?
Velocio-
The MIPS question was my first question too! Apparently the impact absorption qualities of their 3d printed honeycomb structure are far superior to the benefits of MIPS in a conventional helmet! I think they're working on some material to show side by side comparative at the moment?
I'll pass on the info re: knob reduction factor also, it's a very good point! It's actually a really nice looking product! I'll be getting one myself once my current Bell needs replacing...

Hexo helmets are hosting a night with Simon Gerrans tomorrow at Finsbury Square with a Q&A and a chance to check out their new helmet and get your head scanned for a fitting.
One of the founders is a good pal of mine and asked if I could post it here. Need to RSVP here if you're keen on popping by.
