UNIT 1 FARO Blackbird helmet with MIPS & remote Small

A Smart Helmet designed for safety, visibility and style.

LIGHTS
Powerful front & rear lights to make you visible.

Cycling accidents are often caused by lack of visibility. FARO has powerful front & rear lights to ensure you get noticed from every angle.

Front light
· Powerful and laser-focused white light. Visible during daytime. Designed for long-distance visibility.

Back light
· Powerful and laser-focused red light. Visible during daytime. Supports turn signals. Designed for long-distance visibility.

Hidden light
· Light array (46 LEDs) with a big surface area. Hidden beneath a fabric liner (only visible when ON). Supports animations and full RGB Color. Designed for communication with cars.

IMPACT PROTECTION
Protect your head.

FARO complies with the major international safety certifications. It combines an ABS hard-shell with an EPS Liner for optimal impact protection. We’ve also added MIPS: A low friction liner that improves impact absorption on rotational collisions.

FALL DETECTION
Sometimes accidents happen. If they do, FARO can help even after an impact:

FARO can detect a hard fall and if you are unresponsive will send an SOS alert with your location.

NAVIGATION REMOTE
The Navigation Remote is mounted on the handlebar. It features two contoured buttons designed for no-look operation. The rider can signal turns without looking down and without removing the hand from the handlebar. The Turn Signals are displayed on the helmet. The Navigation Remote is also equipped with sensors that can detect if the rider slows down or stops, which triggers a brake light on the helmet.

WATERPROOFING
Rain or shine, FARO can ride it.

With an IPX-6 waterproof rating, the electronics are fully sealed. The fabric liner is treated with a water-repellent coating so it doesn’t get wet.

VENTILATION
In order to maintain the helmet’s minimalistic look, we had to design a ventilation system that wouldn’t require a dozen holes. The ventilation system in FARO has two hidden air inlets (just above the eyes), two large vents on the top and one large vent on the back.
