Centric Plus Helmet
The Scott Centric Plus Helmet provides coverage without weighing you down. Top-end helmets like the Centric Plus separate themselves from lower tier models with more efficient ventilation systems, lower weight, and in recent years, Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS). Each feature was carefully considered when Scott created the Centric Plus, and it shows.
Whether you're on a recovery coffee shop ride or toeing up to the start line of a local race, having proper ventilation in a helmet is key to comfort. Heavy front venting along the Centric Plus' body ushers air through the helmet consistently, keeping you cool and level-headed through the most sweltering rides of the year.
In terms of crashes, a traditional In-Mold shell provides initial impact protection while keeping overall weight low, and it's helped by the addition of MIPS. MIPS is a Swedish technology that refers to a thin inner basket that rotates upon impact to diffuse rotational energy generated in certain crashes. Fortunately, unless you're in a crash, you'll barely notice MIPS is there at all.

Great helmet, over Smith Trace
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I have both this and a Smith Trace. Initially bought this Scott Centric for gravel and some mtb races. However, the Centric has become my go to helmet for just about every road ride. Without looking at the specs, they weigh what seems like the same, but the Scott just feels better on my head, and has better ventilation on warm/hot days. No issue with the new MIPS. I still grab the Smith on occasion when I don't want to hurt it's feelings. The Trace has a little lower profile, but I do like the look of the Scott. I like the idea of the reflective rear on the silver color as I do regular night rides through cooler seasons. Con - this is my third Scott helmet, and they still need to lengthen the chin strap. This one is better than past models, but still. I can use this helmet with a skull cap. which was difficult with past models.

Cool Helmet
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Helmet fits perfect. Extremely comfortable, extremely light and extremely airy. Has the mips2 not the yellow plate mips which probably makes it cooler. I bought the 2021 model in white. Best helmet I ever owned.
