Shock absorption and audio reduction
As well as in rackets, we can apply this to a huge range of sports equipment to dramatically reduce unwanted vibrations.
In golf – when you strike the ball, the impact generates harsh vibrations that travel through the club – vibrations you hear as that sharp “ping”.
The addition of RHEON™ transforms the acoustic from a tinny, hollow sound into a muted, controlled tone. The result is a club with a quieter, more refined sound that doesn’t distract from play.
In cycling, unwanted vibrations from bumpy or uneven terrain travel through the handlebars, seat, and frame to the rider, causing progressive muscle fatigue that impacts both performance and comfort. By integrating RHEON™ into key areas, we can absorb and dampen the repetitive shocks that accumulate over long rides.
This allows riders to maintain better control and precision when navigating challenging terrain, enhancing endurance and reduced post-ride fatigue.
Outside of sports, we can apply the technology across applications like automotive – reducing the ‘slam’ of a car door – and manufacturing, where it can dampen the harsh, repetitive vibrations of production machinery to improve both worker comfort and operational precision.
