Thumbnail-F-17_mips_Aleix-JAPAN.jpg


We are excited to announce the limited edition release of the F-17 Mips ALEIX-JAPAN, a replica model featuring the special graphic worn by MotoGP rider Aleix Espargaró during the 2024 Japanese GP. This model is based on the F-17, the flagship helmet that incorporates the latest aerodynamic technologies.


The F-17 is a racing-spec helmet designed around the concept of omnidirectional aerodynamics. It utilizes aero devices to control airflow around the helmet during riding, reducing the load on the rider through innovative aerodynamic technology.


The ALEIX-JAPAN design replicates the special graphic that Aleix wore during the 2024 Japanese GP. Aleix has a strong connection to cycling as part of his training, and since we are the official sponsor of the Japanese National Cycling Team, the helmet features traditional Japanese patterns, which are also used in the cycling team's gear.


The design is centered around white and red, with cherry blossoms--an iconic symbol of Japan--scattered across the helmet. Traditional patterns such as the Asanoha (hemp leaf), believed to have protective powers, and the Yagasuri (arrow feathers), symbolizing good fortune, are also incorporated. Brushstroke-style lines emphasize the Japanese aesthetic. Aleix's personal number, "41," is prominently displayed, showcasing his connection to Japan.


The helmet is equipped with the Mips® safety system, which helps prevent rotational motion from impact at an angle, reducing the transmission of rotational forces to the brain. This system is the same one Aleix uses in his helmet.

Additionally, this product comes with a special sticker pack.
