CYCLING HELMET TESTING & CERTIFICATION EXPLAINED

When helmets are tested in a lab, their performance is evaluated under tightly controlled circumstances. Data from these tests can help to inform your purchase, but in no way do these tests differentiate any helmet as ‘the safest’. So, what can you do about it? Read and find out.

The ultimate weapon for a summer of fun. The Misfi

The ultimate weapon for a summer of fun. The Misfit is the best selling twintip in the Slingshot range. The 2020 version has been completely redesigned: new tip and tail outline, featherweight Koroyd tips, carbon bedrock inserts, singleshot fusion sidewall, and an atomic wood core. #kitesurf #kitesurfing #twintip #freestyle #freeride #bigair #misfit #slingshotkite #koroyd By @slingshot_uk

How does Koroyd improve your ride? In skis and snowboards, the Koroyd core features the world’s thinnest walled tubes at <0.06mm thick, resulting in a structure which is 95% air and up to 75% lighter than standard wooden cores. A lower swing weight allows for quicker, smoother turns and increased responsiveness. With more manoeuvrability comes more confidence at speed on any terrain. Koroyd's welded tubes absorb vibrations through controlled, reversible compression of the tubes. This increased damping reduces chatter and allows for a smoother ride in all conditions.

Prototyping is a key part of both the design and p

Prototyping is a key part of both the design and part development phase at Koroyd. It helps to fully refine and optimise everything from the design intent to the part integration for every project. A prototype is an early sample, a model orientation of a product, created to test a concept or process and helping to communicate the look and feel of a design solution. It is the step between the evaluation of an idea and the formalisation of product development. The purpose of a prototype is to have a tangible model of the solutions, single or multiple, to the problems already defined and discussed by the designers and engineers during the concept/idea stage. Prototypes are designed to test features, aesthetics and functions at an early stage in the design process. Using 3D printing, we are able to construct a three-dimensional object from a CAD model (computer-aided design). This technology allows us to make prototype revisions and evaluate them quickly and effectively to refine the design before we move to production. Through prototyping, we are able to optimise the whole helmet construction in order to maximise the Koroyd performance and realise the end goal of reducing the risk of a life-affecting injury. #rapidprototyping #helmetdesign #koroydtechtuesdays

Impacting helmets in a laboratory is a very effect

Impacting helmets in a laboratory is a very effective way of determining a helmet's performance. During development we impact test hundreds of helmets before a product goes to market, but how do you go beyond the lab and test concepts and ideas which don't exist yet? Traditionally, the process would look something like this: 1. Review historic test data and accepted theories 2. Make your calculations and assumptions on a new concept 3. Design the helmet in 3D 4. Invest in the tooling to make a prototype 5. Wait a month or two to have your tooling built 6. Assemble your prototype helmets for impact testing 7. Then, and only then, can you start to impact helmets in the lab to see if your new design is effective at reducing energy transferred to the brain. This entire process is time and capital intensive and it is very difficult to optimise the helmet's performance or predict issues prior to tooling investment. Developing game-changing helmet technologies like Koroyd requires also rethinking the product development journey. Koroyd has built computer simulation tools which allow us to not only reduce development cost and time but also to optimise the performance of helmet designs prior to tooling. This allows us to develop new helmet constructions and materials to ensure that we stay at the forefront of helmet technology. Our proprietary numerical material laws result in simulations which are on average more than 95% accurate when correlated against experimental tests giving us the confidence to innovate and push the accepted boundaries of helmet technology. Our simulation results are used to confidently inform the design process, enabling us to optimise structures to work in harmony with Koroyd’s unique characteristics. Our flexible production process enables us to adjust each aspect of the Koroyd material to fine-tune performance. We can independently adjust the tube’s base polymer, cell diameter, wall thickness/density and angle. Computer simulation offers us the possibility to test, analyse and make adjustments which ensure the product is fully optimised for a competitive advantage from very early in the development process. #fea #helmettesting
