The Zyon Helmet: The Game-Changing Modular for Urban Riders

Let’s not kid ourselves, when you’re out on your bike in the urban jungle, you’re up against two formidable foes: reckless drivers and pollution. If this sounds familiar, then keep your eyes wide open because Zyon, an innovative start-up from our own backyard, has launched a helmet that could revolutionize your ride. This modular helmet with a built-in particle filter not only protects your head from impacts but also takes care of your lungs. So, rev up your engines, because we’re diving into the details of this game-changer.

Zyon Helmets: When the Start-Up Shakes Things Up

Behind Zyon Helmets are two enthusiasts: Tanguy Uzel and Guzman Colilla. Their mission? Tackling a problem most helmet manufacturers overlook: pollution. Instead of following the trend of ultra-connected gadgets, they’ve chosen to focus on the essentials with a modular helmet equipped with a particle filter. It’s not just another helmet—it’s a real game-changer for urban riders clocking up those miles.

Pollution and Riders: The Pesky Duo

If you’re the type to weave through traffic or face daily commutes in the city, you know what it’s like to breathe in exhaust fumes. Fine particles, dust, allergens… you name it. And it’s not just unpleasant—it’s downright harmful. Zyon has tackled this issue head-on to offer a solution that’s both simple and effective: filtering the air while you ride.

What Makes It Different?

So, why does this helmet deserve your attention? It’s all in its patented filtration system. It’s not just a dust screen, but a four-layer filter capable of blocking:

Dust
Fine particles
Toxic gases
Allergens

This filter is located in the chin bar, right where it needs to be. Bonus: it’s easily replaceable. And because we live in a digital age, there’s a dedicated app that alerts you when it’s time to change the filter. Seriously, if you spend your days weaving between cars, this is for you.

Safety Is at the Heart of the Design

A helmet that filters air is great, but it can’t neglect protection in case of an accident. The Zyon hits all the marks with ECE 22.06 and DOT certifications, the toughest safety standards in Europe and the US.

To top it off, it features MIPS technology, a system that reduces rotational impacts during a fall. And for comfort, the fiberglass shell is both lightweight and strong. For convenience, there’s a retractable sun visor, perfect for combating glare during sunset rides. Plus, for those who love staying connected, there’s even a designated spot for an intercom system.

Integrated Rear Light: See and Be Seen

Zyon takes safety even further with an integrated rear light in the helmet. Inspired by models like Cosmo and Shark Skwal 3, this light activates according to your movements, like when you brake. It’s a great way to increase visibility and avoid unexpected surprises.

Because a good helmet should also look good, Zyon plans to offer five colors at launch. Whether you prefer a subtle style or love flashy designs, there’ll be something to suit your taste.

Launch Scheduled for 2025

Zyon’s modular helmet is expected to hit the market by the end of 2025. Even though it’s still in the development phase, early feedback from professionals is promising. With a highly motivated engineering team and a standout concept, this product is set to make its mark on the road… and then some.
