Sedici Strada 3 MIPS Integra TX Liner: Adding MIPS to Your Helmet

What is the MIPS Integra TX Liner?

• 💡 The Sedici Strada 3 MIPS Integra TX Liner is a new product designed to add MIPS technology to the Sedici Strada 3 ECE helmet model.
• 💰 This liner is priced around $50 and allows riders to upgrade their existing helmet for enhanced impact protection.
• 🚀 The system was developed with input from MotoGP rider Aleix Espargaró, aiming to integrate MIPS technology into helmets that didn't originally include it.

How MIPS Technology Works

• 🧠 The MIPS Integra TX liner features a low-friction TPU slip liner between the helmet's foam and fabric.
• ⚡ This slip liner allows for a small amount of rotational movement during angled impacts, helping to reduce forces transferred to the head.
• ✅ The technology is designed to work within the comfort padding without significantly affecting the helmet's fit, comfort, or weight.

Sacrifices and Installation

• ⚠️ When installing the MIPS Integra TX liner, riders may experience a loss of adjustable foam and a slight reduction in ventilation.
• 🛠️ While MIPS recommends professional installation, the liner comes with detailed instructions for DIY installation.
• 🏷️ A MIPS sticker is included to indicate that the helmet is now MIPS certified, which can be helpful for first responders.

Interior Construction

• 🔬 An examination of a cut liner reveals a simple yet clever system with foam layers and the integrated TPU slip film.
• 💨 Small ventilation ports are present within the slip liner, though overall ventilation is reduced compared to the original liner.
• 🎯 The design allows for multi-directional slip, providing protection against various impact angles.
