BBB Cycling Unveils the Karma MIPS: A New Lightweight, High-Ventilation Performance Road Helmet
17th March 2026 - The Hague, Netherlands - BBB Cycling, the Dutch brand known for its innovative bicycle parts, components and accessories, is proud to announce the launch of its latest flagship road helmet, the Karma MIPS. The Karma is BBB's lightest and most breathable helmet to date, combining a featherweight construction with advanced cooling technology to enhance your riding experience.
Engineered for unobstructed airflow, the Karma MIPS features twenty five air vents and dedicated internal air flow channels to keep riders cool at both high and low speeds. Whether attacking steep alpine climbs or pushing the pace on warm summer rides, the Karma delivers continuous ventilation exactly where it's needed most. Weighing just 260 grams (size medium), its ultra-light profile makes it an ideal companion for long ascents where every gram counts.
At the heart of the Karma sits the MIPS Air Node - the lightest iteration of MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System). Seamlessly integrated into the padding, this lightweight solution provides essential protection against rotational impacts without adding bulk, resulting in a sleek, unobtrusive and comfortable fit.
Comfort is further elevated with BBB's updated 'Omega' fit system. Designed to suspend the helmet shell over the rider's head, it allows air to flow freely while providing a secure, precise fit. Riders can fine-tune the adjustments effortlessly with a simple one-handed ratchet dial.
Available in five striking colours, including two metallic finishes, the Karma MIPS pairs technical performance with a refined, modern aesthetic. The result is a helmet that looks as fast as it feels, giving riders the confidence to push their limits with advanced protection on their side.
