Founded as an affiliate of MET at the end of 2008, Bluegrass makes full use of the know-how and the expertise of one of the most forward-thinking helmet brands in the world.
Bluegrass Eagle has always been synonymous with Enduro. We've been a part of the development of modern enduro racing thanks to the iconic Bluegrass Enduro Tour. Our partnerships with some of the most famous downhill athletes have established a strong gravity DNA.
Our mission flows through everything we do: to create iconic designs that inspire confidence and enhance the experience of cycling. We do that by learning, refining and developing our products to be safer and more innovative with every generation.
MTB Gloves for DH Racing, Enduro, Trail, E-MTB and BMX
Safety is the number one focus at MET and our research is unparalleled. Each year we make a significant financial investment dedicated solely to safety. We collaborate closely with the world’s best experts and the most renowned bio-mechanical engineers to ensure that our knowledge and understanding is at the forefront of helmet manufacturing. We are one of the few brands that have a full in-house testing facility. We are able to simulate any kind of impact from not only following the certification standards but also with rotational impact testing.
MIPS is the most accredited solution by independent studies and is the benchmark when it comes to managing rotational forces.
GOING FURTHER TO CERTIFY YOUR SAFETY
The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab provides an objective assessment of helmet safety. One- of-a-kind, it gives a rating based on both linear and rotational impact energies, going above and beyond the state of the art of helmet safety standards. This is a vital step to further certify the safety of your helmet and to help you make an informed purchase.
The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab specializes in body injury biomechanics, focusing primarily on advancing the understanding of concussion and how to decrease the risk of brain injury. This is a field of research in continuous development which is innovating the approach to engineer and design bicycle helmets.
