SAFETY

Your brain is important not only to you, but your loved ones. We combined our dynamic frame with our unique dual-stage liner, and incorporated carbon fibre, non-Newtonian foams, Fidlock buckles + heaps more to make sure there's no better place for your head if the going gets rough.

dynamic frame
  • 2x patented dynamic frame is designed to articulate in more than 8 different sections to fit any head shape
  • Polycarbonate and ABS blend frame expands more than 200% laterally and 130% longitudinally to ensure perfect fit
  • Carbon, rivets and slotted retention plates enable movement while maintaining integrity when you need it most – in an impact

patented dual stage liner
  • Patented composite protection system uses multiple materials to absorb more force across a larger range of impacts
  • Firmer and more docile materials allow the A2 to protect more effectively through it’s depth of compression
  • The progressive impact matrix gives the A2 a broad range of effectiveness on the hill

The Occipital Cup
  • Tension and cup system designed to assist in cupping one of the most unique points of any head – the Occipital Bum—an area typically left alone by traditional helmets
  • We cup this tension member down underneath your occipital bump, causing the entire unit to sit lower, closer and more comfortably to your head

center of gravity
  • The Dynamic Frame strives to have the lowest centre of gravity in the market
  • Less torque applied to your head; from swing weight, neck stability and impact safety
  • Mass centralization of the A2 is designed to fit close and low to promote safety and comfort in all situations

non-newtonian materials
  • Dual-stage liner utilizes shear-thickening non-Newtonian PU foams that are naturally soft, but harden instantly in response to impact
  • Delivers a dynamic foam hardness that protects small impacts and big hits

DOUBLE-CERTIFIED SAFETY

The A2 is the culmination of 7 years of R&D to keep you safe when it matters most. It’s double certified, with incredible impact safety results (we’re even the only company that posts them for all to see—they’re that good).
