Smith Forefront 2 Mips helmet

An evolution of our award winning Forefront helmet, the completely redesigned Forefront 2 is a full coverage helmet ideal for all-mountain riders who demand superior protection, ventilation and eyewear integration. For added protection, Koroyd® has been extended into the back of the helmet to now fully encompass the helmet. Internal air channels are combined with open intake and exhaust ports to maximize ventilation, while AirEvac™ channels promote airflow to prevent fogging of your eyewear. The Forefront 2 also features channels on the front and rear of the helmet for eyewear storage, and a three-position visor that rotates high to allow for goggle storage.

Technologies

Koroyd engineered core
A tubular core structure – Koroyd is not just an evolution of product; it is by definition a revolution in lightweight core construction, which is proven to afford a significant and even astonishing performance advantage.

Superior impact protection: Koroyd helmets are complying with lower limits to achieve less than 5% risk of severe head injuries.
Advanced ventilation: Koroyd’s tubular arrangement, organises chaotic air, normalises the pressure and delivers it constantly and linearly through the MT500 helmet to the rider’s head. Thermodynamic testing has shown that Koroyd cools your head quicker and to a lower temperature than having no material at all.

MIPS
(Multi-additional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can be result from certain impacts. MIPS uses a slip-plane that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain's own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to, or from, the head.
