After a few somewhat barren years, 661 got back into the affordable head protection game last year with the excellent Reset, which at just $109 MSRP offers a good feature set and a look that means business. Fast-forward one year, and 661 has just added MIPS to the Reset to take the safety level up a notch. Adding MIPS also added $40 to the price tag, but at $149 USD the Reset MIPS is still very well placed to make a splash in the budget lid pond. Check out the highlights and our video review below to learn more.

About The Reviewer
Johan Hjord - Age: 46 // Years Riding MTB: 14 // Weight: 190-pounds (87-kg) // Height: 6'0" (1.84m)
Johan loves bikes, which strangely doesn’t make him any better at riding them. After many years spent practicing falling off cliffs with his snowboard, he took up mountain biking in 2005. Ever since, he’s mostly been riding bikes with too much suspension travel to cover up his many flaws as a rider. His 200-pound body weight coupled with unique skill for poor line choice and clumsy landings make him an expert on durability - if parts survive Johan, they’re pretty much okay for anybody. Johan rides flat pedals with a riding style that he describes as "none" (when in actuality he rips!). Having found most trail features to be not to his liking, Johan uses much of his spare time building his own. Johan’s other accomplishments include surviving this far and helping keep the Vital Media Machine’s stoke dial firmly on 11.
