That bit of yellow plastic is not worth paying double for!
I've had my forefront 2 for a couple of months now and really like it. Fits well, looks good and breathes better than the old one...
I didn't get it with mips, because i don't like a helmet to wobble around on my head even when its fitted correctly
I really want to know - which allows the helmet to move more relative to my skull: my hair or the mips?

My brain, to me and my family, is worth infinitely more than any price of a helmet on the market. You don't have to spend crazy amounts though... Bell will have at least 1 or 2 coming for less than $100 cad! And a few under $80 for kids!
You can decide what is right for yourself but I've seen enough people with head injuries to know that money isn't an object to me to provide the better protection to my brain/head.
My friend just got a new MIPS helmet, and a bunch of us were laughing about how that little bit of yellow plastic cost him an extra $60. It's not new tech anymore. The r&d must have been paid for a thousand times over. It should be an extra $10 by now!
It looks awesome, and no doubt works well, but realistically, am I going to spend $70 on a multitool, no.
Make it in stainless for 1/4 of the money and I'd keep one strapped under my top tube all the time.
I’d love to ditch the cord to get 1000+ lumens on the helmet

Well I use something similar, BUT, I also have the option of making it a screwdriver style tool for places and jobs that won't take an L wrench. And mine costed 6$, I've removed some damn stubborn pedals with a cheater bar on it.
Rethink the design. The price. But mostly, the design.
You can hire my brain later...
Not to mention it can be made in under an hour using basic tools (as I did) using a couple sockets and a 1/4inch socket driver.
That also opens just carrying a couple sockets for you hex wrench needs.(8,10mm comes to mind)
Pair that off with a few multi purpose nuts and bolts/machine screws zip ties, couple tube patches, some elctrical tape, spare derailleur hanger and cable, few links of chain, parks chain breaker, small 4" needle nose pliers and a c02 inflator.
My kits about as big as a phone and I could do any bike repair in a pinch.
No cables to come undone , light weight and
Plenty of light.
I find the lumen ratings to be more of a suggestion.
If it's rated for 800 lumens or more you good to go.
Word of warning: Almost all of these units burn for about one hour at full power.
After plenty of research I purchased a Fenix and BC 21R . It's rated at 880 lumens . More important you can change the battery. All these lights use cr18650 batteries that can be found for as little as five bucks!
Also, 60$ for a multi tool? Check out the Topeak Ratchet Rocket, lots more features and a friggin' ratched for less money.
And that Spurcycle tool looks promising. I like the magnets idea
