OPTIMAL ADJUSTABILITY
Nytron is equipped with our lightweight and durable RSR 10 dial adjustable retention system. It enhances the helmet fit with a wraparound structure which can also be micro-adjusted vertically to further customize individual fit.
TRIPLE IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION
In-Mold technology allows us to cast the external polycarbonate outer shell directly during the injection stage of the expandable polystyrene (EPS) impact-absorbing foam. The result is a much more rigid structure which is knock-resistant and extremely light, allowing for better ventilation system. The combined action of the EPS structure, the polycarbonate cap and exo-skeleton creates resistance to the mechanical action exercised by an impact and dissipates the energy in order to prevent it from being transferred to the head of the person wearing the helmet.
MASSIVE VENTILATIONDECREASING THE BODY TEMPERATURE AND INCREASING PERFORMANCE
Ventilation makes Nytron a game changer in the aero road helmet category. Many scientific studies demonstrate that head cooling enhances performance by significantly reducing the negative effects associated with rising core body temperature. For this reason, Nytron has been designed to combine the ultimate in aerodynamic performance with the best possible ventilation. Intensive wind tunnel testing has proven that Nytron’s fifteen scientifically configured vents and internal directional airflow channels ensure unparalleled ventilation regardless of rider position.
ROTATIONAL IMPACT TEST
At Rudy Project, we are committed to developing products aimed at the highest level of safety, exceeding requirements set by international standards, such as the CE or CPSC norms. Today our goal is to go even further by surpassing a new experimental testing protocol based on real accident data and scientific sources. The rotational impact test is a protocol adopted by Rudy Project, in cooperation with accredited and notified bodies, to test and measure the performance of our helmets against rotational impacts. The rotational impact test “pass-fail” criterion is based on the BRIC (Brain Injury Criterion) value, an algorithm that defines the level of brain injury. This value must be less than 0.68. Several studies in fact showed that concussive values of BRIC for humans varied from 0.60, when scaled directly from animal data, to 0.68 when obtained directly from college football players.
AERODYNAMICS
Nytron blends superior aerodynamic performance with an amazingly compact and light design. It was developed and engineered in collaboration with aerodynamic experts Swiss Side who performed extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics and wind tunnel testing. The Nytron’s structure features four In-Mold EPS liners which ensure maximum protection and shock absorption, while also keeping the helmet extremely lightweight and ventilated.
