Lumos Ultra

Coming soon, apparently.

Soon is not defined.

Tighter LED strip and a different type of LED. So, brighter.

Flashing is available.

Low price ($99) seems to be imperative.

No mention of MIPS.

Beta tester praise:

Oh, and MIPS will be an option.

Lumos Ultra - The New Standard In Bike Helmets

Integrated LED lighting, turn signals, and smart features to keep you safe in one sleek package.

There is a MIPS version.

Indeed. MIPS was buried behind all the more flashy (!) new features. But it does get mentioned in the latest promos. In the early bird pricing, MIPS kicks the price from $75 to $99.

Those were the Super Early Bird pricing, which are no longer available. The currently offered early bird pricing is $79/$109, which isn't all that much.

I've backed a MIPS Ultra, though I'm not sure I need another helmet as I've got both their Kickstart and MIPS Matrix.

“Need” is such a strong word to use in an eBike forum.
