- Most cyclists just buy a helmet that's within budget without thinking much about it. As long as it looks decent and is comfortable to wear, that's good enough. But how sure are you that the helmet you have will protect you in a crash? Xnito made an innovative helmet that's supposedly brings the safety of bike helmets to the next level. Is it worth your money?

I read somewhere a helmet is ineffective after one hit and should be discarded even if no apparent damage.
Good review I’ll get one. I usually ride early or late in summer.
Gotta admit, didn't expect the twist in your intro. Appreciate the honesty lmao
I loved this video. You should do more helmet reviews.
I have been using my monkeylectric lights for over 5 years, i think they are out of business now and dont make em anymore but imo, they are the best lights ever made. Its like a stroboscope on your wheels, super bright, creates an aura of light around your bike, has over 50 design and over 50 colors so its also fun, attracts attention a lot, cars usually let me pass and steer clear of me. Get a lot of smiles and comments from pedestrians and cops know me and wave at me when they see me.
Monkeylectric lights still have a website. However I don't see them for sale on Amazon.
I have the Livall Evo Smart helmet and it is bad ass. Looks good. Fit is perfect where you don't notice it on your head. And it's super cool in hot weather
I have a Lumos light helmet, fantastic idea as it has built in brake light and indicators! Yes you get funny looks but drivers appreciate it and give you more space.
@Bebo Have been known to do that esp whilst riding in the city ;-)
How's the weight? Most cycle helmets are quite light compared to hard shell helmets. My daily is a Giro Isode MIPS which weighs 270g. As a comparison, I've got a classic '70s hard shell Bell which weighs 465g. You can really feel the weight, and the less effective cooling (11 NACA style ducts, similar to that Xnito).
375g (one size) according to link provided. which is too heavy for long rides and race position (must be sub 300g imho). Its uncomfortable, may wear your neck out, and it's less safe because it's more mass and momentum for the head in the event of a crash. Personally I don't want another lipo-battery on my person in the event of a crash risking chemical burn on my head too. In general I dislike "smart" bicycle products, attempting to turn the simple bicycle to a lazy motorized vehicle with all the amenities. It's ceases to be a bicycle at one point.
Seems like a winter helmet for dark, slippery, cold conditions where you wouldn't use drop bars. I can see myself getting one in Sweden.
Hmm at 150 bucks it'd be competing with lots of good brand helmets like Giro or Kask ... Which would have all the vents you'll ever need, some even come in highlighter orange or yellow
Thank you! Our helmet is NTA-8776 rated for higher speed and better than CPSC standard. Here is the link with 10% OFF xnito.com/ZACH
Funny how it follows the a Dutch standard for protection, yet it technically isn't legal in the Netherlands. Police probably won't stop you for it, but in the Netherlands lights must be fixed on your bike or on a non-moving part of your body, which means your back and chest.
@Bebo There's that as well yes 😂
Wow. With those vents, I could wear that helmet in Memphis in January. Maybe February.
The light is a nice touch. But long ago, I attached a couple of those super-cheap Chinese strap-on lights to my MIPS helmet. They, of course, run off those flat batteries that are roughly the size of a nickel. They work great, and last a long, long time. Indeed, you might want to buy some for the folks who show up without light for your ride. They are not appropriate to replace REAL lights, but they are far better than nothing and darn-near free.
I just checked Amazon. An 8-pack of those silicone lights is $10.
Bicycle helmet should be modified as motorbike helmet to add protection on rider's face. On august 7, 2022 while i was doing sunday routine exercise by biking my bike had crashed on the road and i got a right arm humeral bone fractured and right side face and mouth damaged. Just subscribed.
Mountain bike helmets are often full face
What are the bars on the purple bike back there?
Metal
i was expecting you to say riding a Wabi Special. 02 fixie points. one for each side of your brain. 🤣☺
Where you going on your vacation?
iPhone not using the type C wasn't the only issue.
It being 2.0 instead of 3.0 and being more expensive than a bike is
Hi, im new to fixed gear. I know that you guys might not like belt driven bikes. But can you check out the Priority Ace - a single speed/fixed gear with belt drive. The people at Priority seem to be really passionate about cycling. Thanks
Check out if fixed cog is included, rather it's not. It's listed as additional accessory at $79 and has note " For Ace of Clubs, please note that a CDX front sprocket and belt are also required for fixed riding. " so check model carefully if you intend to ride it as a FG.
@Bebo Description says Gates belt thus it's split frame not belt.
Beefy tubing used in this bike most probably is stiff enuf'....yeah, it's not boutique frame but for daily banging around it doesn't matter.
@Bebo You can have this or Schindelhauer aluminum bike which is actually out of stock, that's up to you.
From what I've learned steel track cog costs 3-4 times less than Gates SS cog...matters if one yet has to find his ratio.
@Bebo 3sp is tricky to set up. With wrong ratio it's either too low or too high. It also depends on terrain, mostly it's good to set up 3 as a regular gear, 2 for long ascents and 1 for climbing steep bridge passes etc.
Shops sell bikes set for 2 as regular gear, people spin out on it, go for 3 and blame it's too hard.
@Bebo IGH isn't anything like FG, that's true.
I want one, totally worth it.
Seriously? The Dutch? Ok that is funny af, since the Dutch (and I should know this since I am one) stubbornly refuse to wear cycling helmets 🤣
Yep. 😊 The safety Sallies of Europe are definitely the swedes (I should know). MIPS is a swedish invention and so is Hövding, the airbag-style bike helmet.
@@Torsan1977 and you guys refuse to wear helmets as well? 😅
@@psychoaiko666 Not nearly as much as you guys. 😂
@@Torsan1977 🙃😅
Because you can ride safely without helmet having the best bike infra structure in the world. Seperated from car traffic mostly. ☮️
Zach - you’re wearing a liner, it seems, so take it off and it won’t be as warm…hello!
That Helmet I$ the Truth! Just like your videos Fam! $tay R.D.!
can confirm new one has usb C. thank goodness.
Acoustic bike riders bahaha, I think the better term might be "analog", although acoustic is pretty funny.
If you play guitar you would understand. But, if you want to be exact, human pedaled powered only bikes.
releas the rewie of santafixie
Nah I will stick with my neon yellow helmet and lights on my bike.....
Asta ahorita me di cuenta que Xnito helmet en español se refiere a jajajajjajjaaja ya saben ….
Wearing a helmet and having a back and front light. The dutch mostly wear no helmet bc they can ride safely without one. Best bike infra structure in the world.
@Bebo You miss the point. In holland the car/bike culture is different. In many areas the bikes are completely separated from cars.
You might be a safe rider, but car drivers may be reckless around bikes. You can go years without an accident, but in an instant you may be flying over you handlebars on the way to the hospital or heaven.
@Bebo This standard was for bikes that can reach 28mph. Hollands happens to have enough place for the Dutch to create that standard.
@Bebo You have no evidence to back your bogus claims.
@Bebo After reading all the comments and replies that you've made, it's clear that you're a pathological liar. I doubt that you ever been to Holland.
@Bebo 🤣You're so crazy you make me laugh. Wearing a helmet in a car at night. Why??? I think you need help.
MIPS or Pass.
-DOT certified motorcycle helmets don't have MIPS, yet offers far greatest protection at speed past 28mph.
-NTA-8776 in contrast to MIPS, does not have receive patent license fees. It is a helmet certification dictated by the Dutch, to protect those ridding power assist only e-bikes that can reach speeds up to 28mph.
-The reality is MIPS only offers protection only in a specific types of falls. The developer of MIPS has a patent and receives licensing fees. The license holders of MIPS, are doing a good job of promoting their technology. You can have both MIPS and NTA-8776 protection in one helmet. Unless that MIPS helmet is NTA-8776 approved, the level of speed protection ends at 15mph.
-If you happen to be in a crash, ridding down hill at speed between 16-28mph, what helmet would you want to be wearing?
-Final consideration. The Xnito helmet with built in head and tail lights, makes the ridder better seen at night, therefore possibly preventing an accident.
@@ilovephotography1254I will admit that I was not aware of this. I appreciate the post and will definitely keep this in my pocket of info when shopping for my next helmet.
The total stupidity of advocating the wearing of a crash hat, yet not having a front brake fitted.........
Did your friend have brakes on his bike? Just asking.
welp content was good while it lasted...
All those advantages you get from usb c will not matter when either the plug or the port stop working because of crap designing with a connection looser than your m….
Who dis
Joe mama
@@mikel4526 oh okay, thanks fren
The only thing more dangerous than brakes are helmets.
blinding other road users doesnt seem "save". hate headlamps on the road, in the forest on a mtb yes, but not the road, its nice when you're not creating dangerous situations for other cyclists and motor trafic
This helmet is not only a little bit expensive due to free accident replacement, it's also ugly. And, as you mention, Ventilation can't obviously be good. I would never buy it.
For the progression in the last 30 or so years: Please ask the helmet industry! There was a lot of development, Mips etc.
One result of progress: airbag systems for cyclists. They also have pros and cons.
Brakes could save your life, but, eh, fixed OGs, yeah?
Leave helmet advocacy to bicycle shops. Advocate for an environment where people don't think they need a helmet to ride a bicycle.
Helmets don't stop concussion. They "could" prevent your head from being scuffed or your skull from being fractured, but they won't stop your brain smacking into your skull wall during rapid deceleration.
I’m guessing vaccinations cause cancer too huh
