Sweet Protection launches the radical Redeemer 2Vi® Mips time trial helmet

Sweet Protection launches the radical Redeemer 2Vi® Mips time trial helmet

Sweet Protection’s new time trial helmet, first spotted at the Volto Ao Algarve earlier this year, has officially launched this week. Named the Redeemer 2Vi® Mips, the helmet has been developed in conjunction with the Uno X Pro Cycling team as well as expertise from the F1 aerodynamics world and uses the MIPS Air Node system.

The helmet has been seen in the wild already this year and set tongues wagging at the Volta ao Algarve when the radical new lid was first spotted. It follows a recent spate of unusual-looking time trial helmets breaking cover at last year’s Tour de France. Uno-X Pro cycling will use the helmet in this year’s Tour de France.

The Redeemer 2Vi® Mips helmet has been developed in collaboration with the Uno X Pro cycling team and 2022 U23 ITT World Champion Søren Wærenskjold in particular. Womens Hour record holder Joss Lowden also played a part in the development and testing of the helmet. Norwegian brand Sweet Protection says the new helmet is possibly the most advanced time trial helmet on the planet.

Sweet Protection and Uno X Pro cycling also collaborated with Swedish company MIPS and F1 aerodynamicist Kyle Forster on the design of the new helmet. Following a three-dimensional scan of a rider, computational fluid dynamics design (CFD)  was then used to model helmet designs, and helmets were then taken to the wind tunnel for testing.
