UNIT 1 FARO MIPS Smart Bicycle Helmet - Blackbird

UNIT 1 FARO MIPS Smart Helmet – Blackbird – Large is a smart bicycle helmet intended for urban cycling and commuting. It combines head protection with connected electronics, while MIPS provides rotational-impact protection. Its rechargeable 1,500 mAh lithium-ion battery delivers up to 10 hours of operating time. An IP67 rating indicates dust resistance and protection against temporary water immersion. These ratings suit regular city use, where the helmet may need to last through a full day of journeys and cope with wet conditions.

The protective structure uses an ABS outer shell, an EPS inner shell, and polyester components. This Large version comes in the Blackbird colour, giving buyers a defined size and finish choice. Compatibility with the UNIT 1 smartphone app provides access to its connected functions from a phone. Information from the helmet can also be viewed on a smartphone rather than through a helmet-mounted display. The helmet is designed around everyday city riding, with its protective construction and electronic functions combined in one commuter-focused product.
