Our story
Designing the future of urban safety
A French brand born from a simple observation: cycling protection hasn’t kept up with new ways of getting around.
Jean-Baptiste Petricoul, founder
It all starts with a gap to fill
We ride faster, longer, in the city, with a helmet designed for 2000s road cycling. The idea: combine the lightness of a road helmet with the safety of a full-face. Something you wear every day without thinking about it, and that protects the part of the body nobody protects: the face.
