ROSE Bikes CYTAL Road Helmet| Road Helmets

The CYTAL is the ideal choice for racers looking for optimum protection and exceptional ventilation, whether at high or low speeds.
The road helmet impresses with the integrated MIPS AIR NODE impact protection system, which, in combination with its robust outer shell and the DUAL DENSITY EPS inner shell, provides ideal protection. The lightweight road helmet also scores points with its outstanding ventilation. Its special shape optimises airflow and ventilation, while an integrated wing improves stability and directs the airflow over and under the helmet. This not only increases aerodynamic performance, but also ensures more effective cooling.

Highlights & Technologies:

MIPS AIR NODE:
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration may cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue caused by these motions may result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.
The MIPS AIR NODE system is a low-friction layer laminated to the base of the comfort padding. It is connected to the energy-absorbing helmet lining with Velcro fasteners. In the event of oblique impacts, the ”nodes” are designed to release locally so that the padding can slide and the rotational movement of the head can be reduced. The Mips Air Node system ensures movement inside the helmet to reduce the rotational movement of the head in the event of an impact at a certain angle and thus reduce the risk of injury. The system remains fixed until movement is required, as it is only released on impact. The Mips Air Node padding can of course be removed, washed by hand and dried at room temperature.

DUAL DENSITY EPS:
The inner shell consists of two layers of EPS (expanded polystyrene) with different densities to offer you even more protection. The upper layer has a greater density than the lower part. EPS is the most efficient material for absorbing shock and impact energies. EPS is extremely lightweight and maintains its properties in a wide temperature range. The purpose of the inner EPS shell is to prevent or reduce a rider’s head injuries in the event of a fall. The shell absorbs the impact energy and is thereby itself compressed or even destroyed (comparable to an airbag in a car). This is why you should always replace a bike helmet with a new one after an impact.
