HELMET CERTIFICATIONS

TOTAL SAFETY

Falls can prove to be very costly and have permanent or even lethal consequences. The starting point for the development of Rudy Project’s helmets is the adoption of #only highly-advanced materials which can absorb shocks and dissipate the mechanical energy without it being transferred to the head and body. Our bicycle helmets, depending on the design and market of destination, comply with the provisions of Module B of the Regulation (EU) 2016/425 “Personal Protective Equipment” and with the national standard transposing the harmonized standard(s) EN 1078:2012+ A1:2012 “Helmets for pedal cyclists and for users of skateboards and roller skates” for PPE of Class II, or with American safety standard “CPSC § 12.03 U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets for Persons Age 5 and Older.”

WIND TUNNEL TESTING SESSION


With 50 years of Formula 1 experience, Swissside has revolutionized the cycling industry with unmatched aerodynamic and engineering knowledge. Swissside conducted the enclosed wind tunnel study to prove the performance of the entire Rudy Project helmet collection

REPORT

INTEGRATED AIRFRAME

The airframe frontal padding minimizes the sweating process inside the helmet enhancing the air circulation and avoiding the release of unpleasant smells and ensuring the best level of performance.

EPS IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION

In-Mold technology allows us to cast the external polycarbonate outer shell directly during the injection stage of the expandable polystyrene (EPS) impact-absorbing foam. The result is a much more rigid structure which is knock-resistant and extremely light, allowing for better ventilation system. The combined action of the EPS structure, the polycarbonate cap and exo-skeleton creates resistance to the mechanical action exercised by an impact and dissipates the energy in order to prevent it from being transferred to the head of the person wearing the helmet.

HEXOCRUSH TECHNOLOGY

Originally inspired by conehead technology and developed be extremely lightweight, this entirely new structure is one of the most advanced Rudy Project solutions. And it is designed to maximize your safety by ensuring unprecedented level of security. The liner is molded with two different foam densities and the hexagon-shaped structure provides improved shock absorption by dissipating impact forces sideways and radially. Thus, the Hexocrush reduces the g-force pressure on the head in case of falls or impacts
