Introducing The Cyclo Helmet

Safety you can trust
__

The Cyclo Helmet will pass all EU and US safety standards to ensure riders have the protection they need whilst riding a bike or scooter.

Our team of ex-Aston Martin & Boeing engineers have been rigorously developing and testing The Cyclo to ensure ultimate protection.

A traditional bike helmet is typically made from EPS foam which releases the energy back to the user's head during impact. This means there is greater likelihood of a head injury.

The Cyclo honeycomb structure is 68% more effective at impact control as the force is dissipated. This means significantly less energy is transferred to the head making The Cyclo a more effective helmet.
 

* The Cyclo Helmet is designed and engineered to comply with European (EN-1078), US (CPSC) & Canadian (CAN-CSA-D113.2-M) safety standards.  It has so far been through 100+ hours of crash simulation testing. 
 

Ultimate comfort & breathability

Packable: Designed to fit in with life
__

We often carry a bag and helmets just don't fit in. That's why The Cyclo has been designed with 'packability' in mind so it can fit alongside a laptop and the rest of your other everyday stuff. 

Foldability vs Packability 

Other 'foldable' helmets claim to fit in a bag, but because of their final folded shape, they rarely do. We have ensured The Cyclo Helmet 'packs' down to a really 'convenient shape' for you to use everyday.


 

Sustainable: Good for our oceans and planet
__

Each year at least 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the sea. That’s why our helmet is made with recycled waste, some of it taken from oceans and beaches around the world. Each helmet contains 20 plastic bottles which would otherwise be damaging our planet.

     



 

Affordable: Engineered to keep costs down
__

Our unique design, made from 3 primary pieces, is manufactured through single shot injection moulding. This enables us to produce our helmet at a price to suit everyone. 


 

Built for comfort, safety & style

Why we're doing this 
__

It was a typically busy day in London and Cyclo Founder Josh decided to hire a bike to get between meetings. He used the cycle lanes but still found himself squeezing between buses, cars and motorbikes and, without a helmet, felt scared. He thought, "How can this be OK?"

Helmets keep people safe but they’re a hassle to carry around, can be expensive and aren’t always accessible - in fact just 17% of all riders wear one. 

Josh spoke to keen cyclist Dom who agreed that portability and availability of helmets is a real issue. They brought on board award-winning designer Will Wood and, after speaking to industry experts and consumers, they’ve come up with the solution. 

We've created the Cyclo to enable people to feel safe as they make sustainable travel choices.

As a team we care about our planet, so using recycled materials from both our oceans and landfill is a must.

Helmets save lives
__

The largest ever research project into effectiveness of helmets, involving 64,000 cyclists worldwide, found wearing one reduces the risk of serious head injury by 69% and of fatal head injury by 65%.

However most cyclists don't or can't wear one. An even smaller proportion (8%) of cycle hire scheme users wear a helmet, with most of these people (82%) putting this down to their lack of portability.

Protecting our planet 
__

Oceans cover 71% of our planet's surface and produce over half of the world's oxygen. It is estimated that 50-80% of all life on earth is found under the ocean surface. EcoWatch report that 8 million tons of plastic enters the oceans each year and there is more micro-plastic in our seas than there are stars in the Milky Way.

Over 300 million tonnes of plastic is manufactured each year, which is equivalent to the weight of the entire adult population of the planet. 

So at Cyclo we have partnered with Plastic Oceans UK to ensure we play a part in the fight against our ocean plastic crisis and we want you to help too. 

Each purchase of The Cyclo saves the equivalant of 20 single-use plastic bottles from damaging our planet. We are also supporting Plastic Oceans UK and the fantastic work they are doing around the world.

Our development
__

We've been developing the Cyclo Helmet for a year now and have involved riders throughout this time. Their input confirmed the importance of safety, comfort, simplicity and aesthetics. 

The outcome is our unique product that meets consumer demand in every way. The sketches below show how the Cyclo has transformed along the way.
