Try as they might, but bicycle helmets hardly ever look cool. Don’t get us wrong, they are completely essential for safety and security of riders, but they are a somewhat ugly necessity. Yet the Smith Overtake Bicycle Helmet is actually something we don’t mind putting on our head.
Looking like it would be at home on the set of Blade Runner, the Smith Overtake helmet is an innovative piece of protection. Its crafted aerodynamic design is energy in motion, appearing like a modernist swash of paint. It’s all part of the helmet’s integrated skeletal structure and carbon fiber reinforcements that not only make it attractive but safe.
An improved aerodynamic and protective design features a lightweight Aerocore in-mold construction. The Aerocore offers inventive impact-absorbing technology that utilizes honeycomb-like plastic cylinders instead of the traditional foam that comprises most helmets. The Aerocore, which at the surface looks like thousands of straws glued to each other, is much lighter than foam yet supplies enhanced protection that reduces the impact from a blow to the head by as much as 30 percent in comparison to foam.
For racing cyclists, the Overtake is a dream for both safety and function. The patented Koroyd material offers more ventilated protection without sacrificing the integrity of the helmet. To ensure that the cap fits securely on your head, the VaporFit system offers rotary adjustability which allows you to situate the helmet up, down, forward, or backward to suit your head shape and comfort in a personalized fit. The X-Static with Reactive Cooling Performance Lining adds an additional bit of ease through heavy training periods or intense cycling sessions.
Just as importantly, the Smith Overtake Bicycle Helmet is available in a vast range of color options from camo, to neon orange, to matte pink, you can select the helmet that suits your style.
