Thanks for this, funny how companies market sometimes, but I guess if I had something as cool as bone vibration transfer, (or whatever it’s called), I’d be hammering that point home for sure.

I just read a good blog from a participant of Rebecca’s Private Idaho ride, and now want to do at least the 50 miler, and music would be a must out there in the mountains, (but still nice to hear your surroundings).
Happy riding,

Unfortunately that information simply isn’t available. All helmets in the US must meet the same standard to be sold. It seems that none of the helmet manufacturers ever advertise or publish the “safety” or “effectiveness” of their helmets.

All that said, I will be posting a follow up review once I get the actual unit delivered in a couple of months.

Besides all the tech, it would have been nice to let the readers know about the actually helmet. What’s it made of, is it certified in anyway, crash tested, what type of adjustments etc.
I realize your main goal was the new & exciting tech features, (which I’m also interested in), as I ride with music, but a helmets main purpose is for protection.

If you’ve ever seen someone hit the deck, it drives home this point.
