Bike Helmet - A Solid Protective Barrier For Life In Cycling

2022 12/06

A fall during riding will cause great damage to the head. Even if the rider rides along a bicycle path with a stable slope at a low speed, safety issues cannot be ignored. The reason for wearing Road Bike Helmet is simple and important - to protect the head and reduce injuries. Relevant data show that in more than 500 cases of cycling fatal accidents every year, 75% of the causes of death are fatal injuries to the head. Medical research has found that wearing a helmet while cycling can prevent 85% of head injuries and greatly reduce the degree of injury and accident mortality. Half-face helmets are divided into road-specific (without brim), road-mountain dual-use (with detachable brim), etc.

The working principle of the Road Bike Helmet is to play a protective role by absorbing the impact of the collision. In other words, every cycling helmet has a foam inner layer, in the event of an accident, the foam inner layer will cushion the impact to reduce accident damage. Traditionally, many cycling helmets are made of EPS (expanded polystyrene) material. Once the EPS foam is crushed and deformed in an accident, it cannot be recovered and used again. In addition, there are helmets with inner layers made of EPP (expanded polypropylene) foam. Although EPP foam can be used again after being impacted, its ability to absorb impact is far less than that of EPS foam. So, after years of research and refinement. A new multi-protection foam Tau Re Up combining EPS and EPU (Polyurethane) was born. Not only that, but many riding helmets use carbon fiber to reduce the weight of the helmet.

Cycling helmet classification:

Half-face helmets are divided into road-specific (without brim), road-mountain dual-use (with detachable brim), etc. Use a helmet similar to those used in baseball or roller skating. The full-face riding helmet is similar to a motorcycle helmet, and is generally used by downhill or climbing car enthusiasts.

Cycling special helmets generally consist of 7 parts:

Cap shell: the hard shell of the outer layer of the helmet. In the event of an accidental collision, the shell is the first line of defense to protect the head to disperse the force of the impact.

Cap Body: This is the inner foam layer inside the helmet. It is the second line of defense to protect the head. It is mainly used to absorb the impact force in the accident and reduce the accident injury.

Buckle and chinstrap (safety belt): used to fix the helmet position. The chinstrap is fixed under the ears on both sides, and the position of the buckle is fixed at the throat. Note: After buckling the buckle, there should be 1 to 2 finger spaces between the buckle and throat, remember not to be too tight or too loose.

Brim: The brim is divided into two types: fixed and adjustable. General road bike riding helmets do not have a visor. The function of the brim is to prevent foreign matter from flying into the eyes of the rider, and at the same time play a certain sunshade effect.

Air hole: The air hole is to help the head dissipate heat and ventilate, which can keep the hair dry during long-distance riding. The more air holes, the cooler the rider will feel, but the lower the relative safety factor. It is generally better to choose a helmet with an appropriate amount of air holes.

Knob: There is a knob on the back of the riding helmet to adjust the tightness. The rider can adjust the size of the helmet according to the size of his head.

Pad: The pad absorbs sweat and micro-vibrations from the body during cycling.
