Our take on the FARO Mips

The FARO Mips is an urban cycling helmet with a Mips liner for rotational-impact protection, built-in front and rear lights, and crash detection that alerts a contact through the companion app. It suits commuters and city riders who want visibility and safety electronics without adding separate lights. Rivals in the smart-helmet space offer similar lights and crash alerts, but the FARO is one of the more established, award-winning options, and owners rate its fit and finish highly.

Questions and answers

What does Mips add over a standard helmet?
Mips is a low-friction layer that lets the helmet shift slightly on impact, which is designed to reduce rotational forces to the head. It is the main safety difference from a plain urban helmet.
Do the lights need to be charged separately?
Yes. The integrated front and rear lights run on their own battery and need recharging, so plan for it as part of your routine.
How does crash detection work?
The helmet senses a impact and, through the companion app on a paired phone, alerts a contact you have set up. It depends on the phone being connected and the app running.
Is it good for commuting?
Yes. It is designed for urban riding, with lights for visibility and crash detection for solo trips. It is not a race helmet.
Can I replace parts like the pads or lights?
Replacement pads and parts are typically available from the brand, which matters for keeping the helmet in use over several seasons.
Where is the FARO Mips cheapest?
At UNIT 1, for $229.90, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the FARO Mips?
Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 315 ratings.
