Rudy Project Nytron Helmet

Developed and engineered in a wind tunnel in collaboration with aerodynamics experts from Swiss Side, Nytron combines maximum aerodynamic performance with a compact and lightweight design. Thanks to the scientific combination of large air intakes and internal channels, Nytron's ventilation reduces the heating of the rider's head while keeping the body temperature low, consequently improving performance. Nytron also represents an evolution in terms of safety because it exceeds, in addition to the certifications required by community regulations, the new experimental Rudy Project WG11 test protocol that simulates the forces involved in real accidents and measures helmet performance in the event of a lateral impact.
Intensive wind tunnel tests have shown that the positioning of Nytron's 15 air vents and internal circulation channels ensures unparalleled ventilation. Nytron's ventilation guarantees unmatched 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
The In-Mold technology allows the outer polycarbonate shell to be cast directly during the injection phase of expanded polystyrene (EPS), thus creating a structure that is more rigid, impact-resistant, and extremely lightweight. The combined action of the EPS structure, shell, and polycarbonate exoskeleton creates resistance to mechanical forces from impacts and dissipates energy to prevent it from being transferred to the wearer’s head.

RSR 10 Retention System
The lightweight and durable RSR 10 retention system ensures an optimal fit thanks to its enveloping structure and micrometric vertical and horizontal adjustments.

WG Rotational
Rudy Project is committed to producing products with the highest level of safety, going beyond the requirements of international standards such as CE or CPSC. For this reason, their goal is to exceed the tests required by a new experimental protocol that measures the helmet’s energy absorption capacity in the event of oblique impacts and evaluates the forces and rotational accelerations present in real accidents. The Rudy Project WG11 test protocol, adopted in collaboration with accredited third-party certification bodies, tests and measures helmet performance in oblique impacts. The criterion to pass or exceed the Rudy Project WG11 test is based on the value called BRIC (Brain Injury Criterion): an algorithm that defines the probability of sustaining brain injuries after an impact. This value, for the test to be passed, must be below 0.68 as demonstrated by scientific studies conducted on concussions in college American football players.
