Mips
A low-friction liner that sits between the helmet and the user’s head. It enables micro rotations during an angled impact (the most common kind) and absorbs extra energy - thus increasing protection for your brain!
Fall Detection
Accelerometers embedded inside the helmet can detect a hard crash and - should you be unresponsive - FARO can send an SOS text to an emergency contact that includes your location.

Fabric
To maximize light footprint but keep the helmet clean, we’ve covered FARO’s huge LED array beneath a signature Fabric liner. Scratch, dust & water-proof, this fabric only shows the lights when you need them.
Clean Lines
FARO was crafted by our award-winning Design Team using a minimalistic aesthetic and clean lines. The result is a truly iconic shape and a helmet you’ll actually want to wear.

Mips Safety System
Increased protection
for your brain.
open.mips.1
What is Mips?
The Mips Safety System is a low friction liner that is installed between the rider’s head and the inside of the helmet. It doesn’t impact the fit at all.
open.mips.2
What does it do?
It allows the helmet to rotate slightly during a rotational impact, absorbing extra energy and increasing protection to your brain.
