In a helmet equipped with the MIPS safety system, a low-friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, resulting in a reduction of the rotational motion that may otherwise be transmitted to the brain. In this way, the MIPS approach mimics the natural safety system of the human head. [4]
The "Bell Helmet Company" was established as a division of Bell Auto Parts in 1956. [2] Bell introduced its Star model, the first full-face motorcycle helmet on the market, in 1968.

Hövding ("Chieftain" in Swedish) is an airbag bicycle helmet, [1] launched in November 2011. Hövding was invented by Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin in Malmö, Sweden in 2005 as a master thesis for the founders' Master of Industrial Design at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University in Sweden.

Bike frames with integrated headsets have cups machined directly in the frame, and the bearing sits directly into the frame instead of via separately installed cups. Fewer tools needed compared to traditional bearing cups which need to be pressed into the frame using special tools (or a hammer and wood block).
A wireless system was announced by Tiso in 2012, but this did not achieve widespread use. [21] In August 2015 SRAM Corporation announced its wireless shifting system, eTap. [22] The system had been extensively developed and secretly tested over several years from initial design to a stage win in the 2015 Tour de France.
