The Virgo Cycling Helmet for E-Bikes by The BEAM is a revolutionary helmet that takes cycling safety to new heights. This cutting-edge headgear is specially designed for e-bike enthusiasts who crave the perfect balance between safety and performance. The future of helmets has arrived, and it’s here to stay.
After an impressive track record of eight successfully funded Kickstarter campaigns, The BEAM is back with its ninth project, delivering a bigger and better product than ever before. The Virgo helmet boasts a lightweight construction without compromising on protection. Crafted from a polycarbonate shell with an EPS protective layer, it offers the ideal combination of strength and lightness to accompany your activities. Designed to cater to the safety needs of electric bikes, it adheres to the new European regulation NTA-8776, specifically made for high speeds up to 45 km/h (28 mph), while also complying with regular bike regulations EN 1078/CPSC.
What sets the Virgo helmet apart is its dedication to enhanced safety. It features multi-impact protection zones strategically placed in areas most susceptible to impact during falls. Additionally, the helmet incorporates the MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology. The MIPS system consists of a low friction layer within the helmet that reduces rotational motion during certain impacts, thus minimizing the risk of brain injury. With Virgo, you can ride with confidence, knowing that you have superior protection on your side.
Furthermore, the Virgo helmet prioritizes visibility, especially during dark or rainy conditions. Equipped with a rear LED light positioned at the back of the head, it ensures you remain highly visible to drivers, further increasing your safety on the road.
The BEAM understands that style is important too, and the Virgo helmet doesn’t disappoint. It comes in four trendy colors that reflect the latest urban styles. With its unisex design, blending soft curves and sharp edges, this helmet seamlessly integrates into your daily life. The beautiful matte finish complements any outfit, making it a fashionable accessory that effortlessly aligns with your bike’s style.
The BEAM, a French start-up based in Paris with manufacturing in South Korea, is a team of passionate cyclists committed to making cycling safety more accessible. They understand the needs of cyclists because they are cyclists themselves. The Virgo helmet is a testament to their dedication to creating innovative solutions that enhance the cycling experience.
