The Zyon helmet: the modular one that changes the game for urban motorcyclists

Let’s not fool ourselves, when you ride your bike in the urban jungle, you face two formidable enemies: reckless drivers and pollution. If you can relate, pay attention because Zyon, a start-up from our land, has launched a helmet that could revolutionize the way you ride. With its integrated particle filter, this modular helmet not only protects your head from impacts, but also cares for your lungs. So rev up and let’s discover this gem.

Zyon Helmets: when the start-up breaks through

Behind Zyon Helmets are two passionate individuals: Tanguy Uzel and Guzman Colilla. Their mission is to tackle a problem that most helmet manufacturers ignore: pollution. Instead of following the trend of ultra-connected gadgets, they decided to focus on the essentials with a modular helmet equipped with a particle filter. It’s not just another helmet; it’s a real game changer for motorcyclists who travel miles in urban environments.

Pollution and motorcyclists: an uncomfortable combination

If you’re one of those who zigzags through traffic or makes daily commutes in the city, you know what it is to inhale exhaust gases. Fine particles, dust, allergens… In short, a disaster. And it’s not just unpleasant; it’s frankly harmful. Zyon has addressed the problem in a simple and effective way: filtering the air while you ride.

What makes the difference?

So, why does this helmet deserve your attention? It’s all in its patented filtration system. It’s not just a mesh for dust, but a four-layer filter capable of stopping:

• Dust
• Fine particles
• Toxic gases
• Allergens

This filter is placed in the chin bar, exactly where it’s needed. Moreover, it can be easily replaced. And since we are in the digital age, it has an app that alerts you when it’s time to change the filter. Really, if you spend your days dodging cars, this is for you.

Safety remains the priority in design

A helmet that filters air is great, but one cannot forget about protection in case of an accident. The Zyon meets all the most rigorous safety certifications with ECE 22.06 and DOT, the best from Europe and the United States.

Additionally, it features MIPS technology, which reduces rotational impacts in falls. For comfort, the fiberglass shell is as light as it is durable. In terms of practicality, it has a retractable sun visor, perfect for not being blinded at sunset. And for those who like to stay connected, it has a dedicated space for the intercom.

Integrated rear light: see and be seen

Zyon takes safety one step further with an integrated rear light directly on the helmet. Inspired by models like the Cosmo or the Shark Skwal 3, this light activates based on your movements, such as when you brake. Ideal for increasing your visibility and avoiding unpleasant surprises.

Because a good helmet should also look good, Zyon plans to launch in five colors. Whether you prefer a discreet style or eye-catching designs, you will have options.

Launch expected in 2025

The modular helmet from Zyon is expected to be available by the end of 2025. Although it is still in development, initial impressions from professionals are encouraging. With a motivated team of engineers and an innovative concept, we can expect a product that stands out… and not by a little.

So, are you ready to upgrade your gear? This Zyon helmet could become essential for those who ride in the city. Put on your helmet and stay tuned for its launch.
