Sweet Protection Fluxer MIPS Cycling Helmet Review - feat. Lightweight + Ventilated + Unique Colors

Sweet Protection’s new Fluxer MIPS helmet is a lightweight and highly ventilated helmet designed for warm weather. The Fluxer takes styling cues from the aerodynamic Sweet Protection Falconer helmet but optimizes comfort and ventilation. Retail price of the helmet is $200 which also slots underneath the Falconer helmets with a fully finished external shell and MIPS Air Nodes. As with other Sweet Protection helmets, the Fluxer has their proprietary STACC ventilation system which strategically placed vents to maximize cooling. The helmet is also lightweight with a 360 Occigrip Fit System and lightweight nylon straps. Additionally, the helmet features integrated eyewear grippers to store sunglasses while riding.

The Sweet Protect Fluxer MIPS helmet is the brand’s most ventilated road cycling helmet. Visually, it shares a lot of styling queues from the Falconer helmet with a swoopy design and vertical vents. The helmet has a premium appearance with fully finished design and shallow fit you’d expect from a road cycling helmet. Sweet Protection offers the Fluxer helmet in six unique color schemes from standard white and black to light purple and green. What we have in this review is the one of the coolest options, Barbera Metallic which is inspired from the BMW car color. Sweet Protection uses a satin finish on the exterior of the helmet with glossy inserts which gives the helmets an interesting appearance. The glossy inserts have metallic flakes that sparkle in the sun while the satin outer portion has a subtle glossy finish. With the unusual color schemes and minimal branding, the Fluxer is reminiscent of POC helmets and feels like a premium helmet.

The Fluxer uses a combination of standard EPS foam with MIPS Air Nodes. This allows the interior of the helmet to be completely open with deep air channels cut into the foam. Each of the removable pads on the helmet have low-friction MIPS Air Node attachments which allow them to move side-to-side to reduce rotational forces in a crash. Sweet Protection has optimized the ventilation of the helmet by also integrating their STACC (superficial temporal arteries cooling channel) which use specially located vents to help regulate body temperature. The front two side vents also have eyewear grippers which help hold sunglasses in place and the temple arms against the helmet.
