High-performance accessibility: the Karma MIPS is BBB's lightest and most ventilated road helmet to date

BBB Cycling expands its range of high-performance helmets with the launch of the new Karma MIPS, a model designed to prioritize lightness, ventilation, and protection for demanding road rides.

New Karma MIPS: maximum ventilation with contained weight and price for road performance

The Karma MIPS positions itself as the lightest helmet developed so far by the Dutch brand, with a declared weight of 260 grams in size M. This clearly targets cyclists looking for efficiency in long climbs or high-intensity days where every gram counts.

One of the key points of the design is airflow management. The helmet incorporates 25 vents along with internal channels that allow for constant air circulation, both at low and high speeds. This approach aims to maintain a stable temperature in demanding situations, such as long climbs or rides in hot conditions.

In terms of safety, BBB relies on the MIPS Air Node system, the lightest version of this technology for protection against rotational impacts. Its direct integration into the padding allows for reduced weight and volume, maintaining a clean profile without compromising safety.

The fit is managed by the revamped Omega system, which slightly elevates the helmet structure above the head to enhance ventilation. This design also allows for a precise fit via a rear dial that can be operated with one hand, particularly useful while riding.

The Karma MIPS will be available in five colors, including two options with a metallic finish, opting for a modern aesthetic that complements its technical focus.
