Troy Lee Designs’ SE4 Helmet
Cycle News Staff | May 20, 2016
The all-new premier motocross SE4 Carbon Helmet comes with MIPS, incorporating brain-rotational protection with 13% more EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) for ultimate head safety.
Watch the video that chronicles the evolution of helmet safety and what led to the design and development of the all-new SE4 helmet:
This SE4 helmet comes in at a lightweight 1325 grams, which is the lightest helmet TLD has ever produced. This helmet comes with 6 top intakes feeding 10 internal ports for maximum cool air induction, coupled with 6 exhaust ports that are fed by 9 internal passages to provide dissipation of heat.
SE4 Helmet Features:
-MIPS brain protection system, reduces rotational forces to the brain
-Technologically advanced Carbon/Kevlar composite shell construction
-Three separate EPS inserts with varying low and high-speed impact-specific densities
-Three shell sizes to more accurately fit a variety of head sizes and rider ages, improving overall safety
-Anatomical –3D” contoured cheekpads with emergency release system for EMS responders
-21 Intake / Exhaust Ports channel air to cool the head and draw hot air away
-Removable snap-in, washable Comfort Liner with Cool Max® and Dri-lex® moisture wicking materials
-Superlight titanium D-rings, save weight and have increased material tensile strength
-Plastic visor screws and brass inserts for easy impact break-away
-Exceeds certifications for Snell M2015, DOT FMVSS 218, ECE 22.05 and AS/NZS 1698
HAND-LAID MCT CARBON FIBER
-Hand-laid pre-preg carbon / composite / MCT weave blend for superior shell construction and weight reduction
-Top-layer UD (unidirectional) carbon weave provides strength and style
-High-modulus Kevlar reinforced high-impact zones for increased strength and rigidity
-Nylon-reinforcement polymer in key high-wear and impact zones
In The Box:
-SE4 CF MIPS helmet
-2 SE4 matched visors
-SE4 plush helmet bag
-Instructions
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, it is a revolutionary technology that lets the helmet slide relative to the head, adding more protection against rotational violence to the brain caused by angled impacts.
Here is a video on how MIPS helmets are tested.
