Full-face helmet UVEX surge aero MIPS — hard shell, matt finish

The UVEX surge aero MIPS full-face helmet combines a hard shell construction and matt finish with the MIPS (Multidirectional Impact Protection System) to provide advanced head protection for road cycling. Designed in collaboration with professional riders, this helmet delivers a balance of aerodynamic performance, ventilation and impact protection. A snap-on aero cover is included to reduce drag on race days and can be removed when higher airflow is needed, effectively offering two modes in a single helmet. The helmet also features an integrated glasses port and a lightweight inmould structure for stable exterior protection while keeping overall weight competitive.

Advantages

The helmet’s muti inmould construction and embedded foam cage structure increase structural stability without excessive weight. The MIPS Air Node low‑friction layer is integrated to mitigate rotational forces during oblique impacts, reducing transmitted centrifugal forces. An ergonomic adjustment system allows quick, precise custom fit, and reflective detailing at the rear improves visibility. The snap‑on aero cover provides configurable aerodynamics for racing or ventilation-focused use.

Suitable for

• Road racing and criteriums where reduced drag is important
• High-intensity training and hill climbs requiring good ventilation control
• Riders seeking enhanced protection against rotational impacts
• Events where a reliable, adjustable fit and eyewear integration are needed

Key specifications

• Construction: hard shell with multi inmould foam structure for increased stability
• Safety system: MIPS Air Node low-friction layer for rotational impact mitigation
• Finish: matt exterior surface
• Aerodynamics: snap-on aero cover to reduce drag; removable for improved ventilation
• Fit system: ergonomic adjustable retention system for quick, precise fit
• Ventilation: large ventilation openings combined with aero cover configuration
• Additional features: integrated glasses port; reflective detailing on the rear

How to use

Place the helmet squarely on the head so the front edge sits just above the eyebrows and secure the chin strap comfortably. Use the ergonomic retention system to adjust the fit until the helmet is stable and does not wobble. Attach or remove the snap-on aero cover depending on whether aerodynamics or ventilation is the priority: snap the cover into place for reduced drag in racing situations, or remove it to open the ventilation channels for training and hot conditions. Ensure sunglasses are stowed in the built-in glasses port when not worn, and inspect and adjust the straps and fit before each ride.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the helmet regularly for damage after any significant impact and replace it if the shell or internal liners are compromised. Follow manufacturer guidance for cleaning and storage: use mild soap, avoid solvents, and store away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the helmet is correctly sized and fitted before use to achieve the intended level of protection.
