Lumos is making waves again! Known for their innovative smart helmets, the company has launched the new Nyxel helmet on Kickstarter. This cutting-edge helmet features 360-degree LED light strips on the front and back, along with signal lights and a collision detection feature. With the Nyxel, you’ll definitely shine like a "star" on the road, whether it’s day or night, while your safety is taken to the next level! It’s the perfect blend of visibility and protection for cyclists looking to ride smart and safe.
The Nyxel's lighting design is truly meticulous. The white LED light at the front and the red LED light at the back, extending to the sides, ensure that you are visible from any angle. Through their app, users can choose from a variety of lighting modes, from steady lights to fast and slow flashes. The built-in 1000 mAh lithium battery can last anywhere from 3.5 to 14 hours, depending on the selected lighting mode. This thoughtful design enhances both visibility and battery efficiency, making the Nyxel helmet a smart and reliable choice for cyclists.
Mayroon din itong accelerometer na agad na nagpapailaw ng pulang LED sa likod tuwing biglang babagal, na parang brake light ng sasakyan para alertuhin ang nasa likod. Ang Nyxel ay may kasamang wireless remote na maaaring ilagay sa handlebar ng bike, kung saan isang pindot lamang sa button ng signal light ay magpapailaw sa mga gilid ng helmet tulad ng premium na kotse na Audi. Gayunpaman, inirerekomenda pa rin ang paggamit ng hand signals para mas malinaw sa ibang motorista.
For those with higher safety demands, there's also the option to purchase the Quin collision detection module, which monitors 1,000 times per second. If it detects a crash, it immediately sends an alert to your emergency contact using your cellphone. Additionally, the Nyxel features a "Mips anti-rotation liner," which helps reduce the risk of brain injury by preventing the helmet from rotating during an accident. This helmet is also set to meet safety standards in various countries, ensuring that you are not only visible but also well-protected while riding.
The Nyxel smart helmet comes in three sizes—small, medium, and large—and weighs between 380 to 410 grams (without the Mips version), ensuring comfort even for all-day wear. There is also a version specifically designed for e-bike riders, featuring a detachable visor for added protection and style. On Kickstarter, you can get the basic model for $99, while the Mips or Mips+Quin versions are priced at $129 and $139, respectively. Once it hits retail, the prices will rise to $129, $159, and $209. Whether you're a casual rider or an e-bike enthusiast, the Nyxel offers great value with top-tier safety features.
If you're a commuter or rider with a high awareness of safety, the Lumos Nyxel smart helmet is the perfect choice to provide enhanced visibility and protection on the road. With its advanced lighting system, collision detection, and Mips anti-rotation liner, the Nyxel ensures that you're not only seen but also well-protected in case of an accident. It's an ideal helmet for those who prioritize both safety and style while riding.
