Voss Helmets Introduces Mips® Brain Protection System to the 991 Carbon Fibre Helmet

Vancouver, BC — [Jan, 2025] — Voss Helmets, North America’s rapidly growing rider-focused protective gear brand, today announced the integration of the Mips® Brain Protection System into its flagship 991 Carbon Fibre full-face helmet, marking a major milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to rider safety and performance engineering.

The updated 991 Carbon Fibre retains its DOT certification while now incorporating Mips’ low-friction rotational impact protection technology — a system designed to help reduce harmful rotational motion transmitted to the brain during angled impacts.

“Modern crashes are rarely straight-on,” said David Gould, President & CEO at Voss Helmets. “By integrating Mips into the 991 Carbon Fibre, we’re adding a critical layer of protection that reflects how real-world motorcycle accidents actually happen.”

Built for Real-World Riding Conditions

Unlike traditional helmet designs that focus primarily on linear impact protection, Mips technology introduces a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows for controlled movement between the helmet shell and the rider’s head. This helps redirect rotational energy that can contribute to certain types of brain injuries.

The result is a helmet that not only meets DOT standards — but pushes beyond them with advanced, globally recognized impact mitigation technology.

Flagship Performance, Elevated Safety

The 991 Carbon Fibre remains one of Voss Helmets’ most performance-driven platforms, featuring:

• Ultra-lightweight carbon fibre shell construction
• Optimized multi-density EPS impact liner
• Precision-fit removable comfort liner system
• High-flow ventilation architecture
• Aerodynamic rear spoiler design
• Now featuring integrated Mips® protection

This upgrade positions the 991 Carbon Fibre as one of the most safety-forward DOT-certified carbon helmets in its class.

A Step Toward the Next Generation of Voss Helmets

The Mips-equipped 991 Carbon Fibre represents the first step in Voss Helmets’ broader safety evolution roadmap. The company has confirmed that future releases will continue to expand advanced protection systems and global compliance standards across its product line.

“This is the beginning of a larger shift for us,” added Gould. “We’re building the next generation of Voss helmets around technologies that riders around the world recognize and trust — and this update to the 991 Carbon Fibre is the foundation of that transition.”
