Model Created by Spanish Startup Has Four-Layer Filter, Fall Sensor, Adjustable Ventilation, and App with Real-Time Data.

An intelligent helmet created by a Spanish startup may change the way cyclists and motorcyclists face urban pollution.

With a price of US$ 935, the new product from Zyon features an air filtration system that promises to retain pollutants and vapors while the user pedals or rides.

Four-Layer Filter Against Pollution and Harmful Gases

The Zyon helmet has a patented four-layer filter. The first layer is designed to trap water, insects, and larger particles.

The second fights dust, allergens, and fine particles.

The third is made of activated carbon and serves to absorb harmful gases. Finally, the last layer, made of Spunbond fabric, protects the carbon part.

In addition, the helmet features a button that allows switching between three ventilation modes. This helps control the airflow in a personalized manner.

The chin protection is modular and can be opened to let the wind in.

Smart Features and App Connectivity

The Zyon helmet can connect to a mobile app. This way, the user is informed about the air quality around and receives alerts about the ideal time to change the filter.

The replacement should occur every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage.

Another interesting feature is the fall sensor. If the helmet detects an impact, it sends an automatic alert to emergency services and registered contacts.

The retractable solar visor and the rear light with brake sensor complete the features.

The helmet’s battery is rechargeable via USB-C and offers up to 18 hours of autonomy with a full charge.

High Technology and Focus on Safety

The structure of the helmet is lightweight and made of fiber. It has the ECE 22.06 P/J certification and the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS), designed to minimize the effects of rotational impacts on the head.

Since its initial presentation in 2023, Zyon claims to have received over 4,000 pre-orders.

The complete kit includes the helmet cover in five colors and six sizes, 12 filters with a one-year validity, a cleaning kit, and a carrying bag.

The Zyon helmet is a new product from a Spanish startup and is currently being sold through online pre-order, with international delivery.

Bom dia, sem contar que no primeiro uso esses marginais defendidos pelo governo vai enfiar um revólver na nossa cara e levar o capacete e ainda nos deixar com a dívida, lamentável.
