I started road cycling last year, decades after enjoying mountain biking in what seems like a previous life.
So I bought my first ever cycling helmet. Not knowing whether I would stick with it or not, I went for a cheap one. I think it's a Specialised Align. Having upgraded from a hybrid to a road bike and now feeling somewhat less safe due to the different handling (I hope just more experience required) and extra speed, I think it's time to look at upgrading.
Is MIPS important? I notice some POC helmets don't have MIPS but appear to have their own highly rated system?
I'm not really set on a brand but want something that's good value for money, looks good and ideally in hi-vis yellow.
It will be for commuting and for longer weekend road riding. Any recommendations appreciated. I like the look of the Abus Gamechanger but it doesn't appear to be MIPS.
