This sleek new bike helmet protects your head and your lungs
Briefly

Zyon helmet provides a combined solution for safety and health by incorporating medical grade air filtration with advanced shock-protection technology. Traditional helmets protect against injuries but expose riders to harmful pollutants. Options like the $900 Shoei Neotec 3 do not filter air, while cheaper models offer little protection. The Zyon helmet features a Breath Safe System that purifies every breath. Motorcyclists face high PM2.5 pollution levels, contributing to health issues. Zyon represents a novel approach to motorcycle safety and rider health by offering proven HEPA filtration capabilities.
Motorcyclists suffer PM2.5 exposures of 75 micrograms per cubic meter, 5 times more than pedestrians and 15 times more than car occupants.
The Zyon helmet combines medical grade air purification with advanced shock-protection technology, processing every molecule of air before it enters your body.
Tanguy Uzel states, 'There is currently no approved helmet on the market that includes an integrated filtration system... which does not have homologation or European and American safety standards.'
HEPA filters have demonstrated 48% to 60% reductions in allergic symptoms, outperforming many pharmaceutical treatments.
