Rudy Project Nytron Helmet

Developed and engineered in the wind tunnel in collaboration with Swiss Side's aerodynamics experts, Nytron combines maximum aerodynamic performance with a compact, lightweight design. Thanks to the scientific combination of large air intakes and internal channels, Nytron's ventilation reduces heat build-up around the rider's head, keeping body temperature low and consequently improving performance. Nytron also represents an advance in safety because, in addition to meeting the certifications required by EU regulations, it passes the new Rudy Project WG11 experimental test protocol, which simulates the forces involved in real accidents and measures helmet performance in side impacts.
Extensive wind tunnel testing has demonstrated that the positioning of Nytron's 15 air intakes and the circulation channels inside the helmet ensures unrivalled ventilation. Nytron's ventilation provides unrivalled heat dissipation and improved internal temperature regulation, allowing athletes to benefit from better performance in road, triathlon and time trial challenges.

Technologies

Triple in Mold Construction
In-Mold technology allows the outer polycarbonate shell to be moulded directly during the injection of expanded polystyrene (EPS), creating a more rigid, impact-resistant and extremely lightweight structure. The combined action of the EPS structure, shell and polycarbonate exoskeleton resists the mechanical forces exerted by impacts and dissipates energy to prevent it from being transferred to the helmet wearer's head.

RSR 10 Retention System
The lightweight, durable RSR 10 retention system ensures an optimal fit thanks to its wraparound structure and vertical and horizontal micro-adjustments.

WG Rotational
Rudy Project is committed to creating products with the highest level of safety, going beyond the requirements of relevant international standards such as CE or CPSC. To this end, their aim is to pass the tests set out in a new experimental protocol that measures the helmet's energy absorption capacity in oblique impacts and assesses the rotational forces and accelerations present in real accidents. The Rudy Project WG11 test protocol, adopted in collaboration with accredited third-party certification bodies, tests and measures helmet performance in oblique impacts. The criterion for passing or exceeding the Rudy Project WG11 test is based on a value called BRIC (Brain Injury Criterion): an algorithm that defines the probability of sustaining a brain injury after an impact. To pass the test, this value must be below 0.68, as demonstrated by scientific studies of concussions in college American football players.
