A recent trip to the MIPS facility in Sweden<br />

only emphasised the need for any 2019-<br />

2020 crash helmet to have the means of<br />

addressing rotational acceleration. If your<br />

current lid has no method of helping to<br />

fight the potential lethal effects of this<br />

impact (basically any crash where your<br />

head will not receive a direct, flat impact)<br />

then consign it to recycling. Troy Lee<br />

Designs have been an avid supporter and<br />

flagbearer for MIPS and with this safety<br />

element integrated into their products have<br />

been able to concentrate on refining an<br />

extremely practical, appealing (naturally for<br />

TLD) and effective crash helmet. The SE4<br />

comes in three different shell constructions<br />

- carbon, composite and polyacrylite – each<br />

with three different sizes.<br />

The carbon weighs only 1325g and has a<br />

massive 20 intake ports with 6 exhausts to<br />

ensure a premium cooling sensation. Expanded<br />

Propylene is the base material of<br />

the chin bar to ensure tough durability, the<br />

3D contoured cheek pads feature an emergency<br />

release system and snap-in<br />

washable comfort liner with CoolMax and<br />

Dri-lex fabric. Plastic screws ensure that the<br />

peak will break away easily. The SE4 carbon<br />

also comes with the spare peak and helmet<br />

bag. The polyacrylite is a good option for a<br />

smaller budget with a few less intake ports,<br />

different fabric interiors and is slightly<br />

heavier at a still-reasonable 1500 grams.<br />

Crucially, it still has the MIPS technology.
