Unit 1 FARO Mips Smart Helmet - Blackbird

Safety and style for the city

FARO is an urban smart helmet with a sleek, clean design and excellent visibility – perfect for the city. Its distinctive "Hidden Light" with 68 RGB LEDs is covered with a scratch-resistant, water repellent fabric and ensures your safety in traffic with its oversized light surface. Unleash your creativity with countless light colors and animations without compromising on style – turn them off and they are invisible.

Crash Alert 

Crash Alert technology detects an accident. If you don't respond, it sends an SOS emergency call with your location to your emergency contact.
Sensors in the helmet detect a serious accident and trigger a safety countdown in the UNIT 1 app. If you do not respond to this countdown, an SOS text message with your location is immediately sent to a pre-configured emergency contact.

Lightlink

Bicycle lighting should not function in isolation, creating a confusing jumble of random flashing signals. Lightlink, the company's proprietary technology, connects all devices and synchronizes multiple lights so they work together as one. This ensures even, consistent illumination of your surroundings, improves your visibility in traffic, and makes your signals unmistakable.
