Fly Racing are reinforcing their position in<br />
the helmet game with serious intent. The<br />
‘Formula’ embraces the latest and maximum<br />
safety measures thanks to technology like<br />
Conehead, varying densities of EPS and an<br />
Adaptive Impact System (AIS) that blends<br />
a high-performance ecosystem of structural<br />
design and energy mitigating materials. Each<br />
layer of AIS is made from RHEON enhanced<br />
Energy Cells, so this is complex and effective<br />
stuff.<br />
Fly have moved way-and-beyond functional<br />
helmets as part of a full riding gear<br />
catalogue: the Formula is virtually a gamechanger.<br />
The company describe some of the<br />
internal mechanics as: ‘the seven strategically-placed<br />
cells in the EPS liner are designed<br />
to feel natural inside the helmet, resulting in<br />
a seamless fit for the rider.<br />
Their unique shape and maze-like structure<br />
allow the Impact Energy Cells to compress<br />
and shear. Each cell can either compress<br />
during a linear impact or shear during a<br />
rotational impact. This slight movement<br />
maximizes absorption of low speed linear<br />
and rotational impacts reducing overall brain<br />
stress.’<br />
A control release system for the peak and<br />
‘true functional ventilation’ further increases<br />
the appeal and aspects of the Formula. In<br />
fact Fly claim it ‘outperformed all helmets<br />
tested in both high velocity impact crashes<br />
as well as forces created by rotational and<br />
low speed impacts.’ We’ll have more details<br />
in a separate story on the website soon but<br />
it’s fantastic to see the company making a<br />
massive forward step in terms of innovation<br />
and a better safety offering to the market.
