The World's First Foldable Helmet with Mips

At Newlane, we’re always looking for ways to make cycling feel safer and simpler. Our folding helmet is designed to give riders the freedom to move through the city without compromise - easy to carry, quick to use and built to meet the highest safety standards.

Now, we’re taking things a step further. The latest version of the Newlane Foldale Helmet is the first ever folding helmet to feature the Mips® safety system - a technology designed to add an extra layer of protection against certain types of impacts.

So, what exactly is Mips?

In short, it’s a low-friction layer built inside the helmet that allows a small amount of movement between the head and the shell during angled impacts. That movement helps to redirect rotational forces, which research suggests can reduce the risk of certain brain injuries.

The result is a helmet that keeps everything you already love about the Newlane - its sleek design, compact fold and everyday practicality - but now with a little extra peace of mind built in.

“We are proud to collaborate with Newlane on this world-first foldable innovation,” says Max Strandwitz, CEO of Mips. “We welcome innovations that help make helmet safety more accessible and encourage more people to wear a helmet on their daily commute. Newlane’s solution for urban cyclists, paired with Mips technology, aligns with our commitment to keep advancing helmet development.

Not everyone needs the added Mips tech, but for riders who like knowing they’ve got the latest in protection, it’s the perfect option.
