Rudy Project Nytron helmet

Developed and engineered in the wind tunnel in collaboration with the aerodynamic experts at Swiss Side, Nytron combines maximum aerodynamic performance with a compact and lightweight design. Thanks to the scientific combination of large vents and internal channels, Nytron ventilation reduces heating of the runner's head while keeping body temperature low and consequently improves performance. Nytron also represents an evolution from a safety point of view because, in addition to the certifications required by community legislation, it also exceeds the new Rudy Project WG11 experimental test protocol which simulates the forces at play in real accidents and measures the performance of helmets in the event of a side impact.
Intense wind tunnel tests have shown that the positioning of the 15 Nytron vents and the circulation channels inside the helmet ensure unparalleled ventilation. Nytron ventilation ensures unparalleled heat dissipation and better internal temperature regulation allowing the athlete to benefit from improved performance for road, triathlon and time trial challenges.

Technologies

Triple in Mold Construction
In-Mold technology allows the external polycarbonate shell to be cast directly during the expanded polystyrene (EPS) injection phase, thus allowing the creation of a more rigid, impact-resistant and extremely light structure. LThe combined action of the EPS structure, polycarbonate shell and exoskeleton creates resistance to the mechanical action exerted by impacts and dissipates L'energy to prevent it from being transferred to the head of the person wearing the helmet.

RSR 10 Retention System
The RSR 10 retention system, light and resistant, ensures an optimal fit thanks to the enveloping structure and the vertical and horizontal micrometric adjustments.

WG Rotational
Rudy Project is committed to creating products that have the highest level of safety, going beyond the requirements of international reference regulations such as the CE or CPSC. For this, their objective is to pass the tests required by a new experimental protocol that measures the energy absorption capacity of the helmet in the event of oblique impacts and in which the forces and rotational accelerations present in real accidents are evaluated. The Rudy Project WG11 test protocol adopted in collaboration with accredited third-party certification bodies tests and measures the performance of helmets in the event of oblique impacts. The criterion for passing or exceeding the Rudy Project WG11 test is based on the value called BRIC (Brain Injury Criterion): an algorithm that defines the probability of suffering brain injuries after an impact. This value, for the test to pass, must be less than 0.68 as demonstrated by scientific studies carried out on concussions of college American football players.
