RHEON creates helmet liners and head impact technology that integrates into helmets from motorbike and cycling to American football and snow sports, using unique designs allowing for unmatched breathability and airflow, delivering world-class head safety without compromising comfort.
We combine geometric design methodology with RHEON™ material making our head protection dynamic – meaning it exhibits different properties depending on the direction of force, with rotational impact protection as well as linear, crucial when managing multiple forces of impact during a collision.
Our rigorous testing considers realistic crash scenarios in addition to certification standards to enhance helmet safety. Unlike conventional energy absorbing materials that degrade after a single impact event, RHEON™ is multi-impact, proven to deliver the same standard of performance after thousands of impacts.
Multi-impact helmet protection tested to 10,000 impacts and validated by the NFL.
This dual-force protection was central to our work within American football.
The NFL Helmet Challenge series is part of a comprehensive effort funded by the NFL – to improve the understanding of the biomechanics of head injuries in professional football, protect the players and make the game safer.
In 2019, RHEON partnered with helmet brand Xenith – to release the Xenith Shadow XR, utilising a unique energy control cell that cushions lower impacts and stiffens against highspeed impacts. In 2021 this collaboration was one of the Helmet Challenge winners, receiving a grant to continue research and development into helmet safety.
We work with helmet brands across motorcycle, snow, motocross, American football, and commuter cycling.
With UK helmet specialists Ruroc, we’ve developed the RG2 snow helmet and the EOX and ATLAS for motorcycle.
Specialising in motocross, we launched the Formula helmet with Fly Racing.
In 2025 we launched our most innovative project yet – a collapsible commuter cycling helmet with Ventete. The aH-1 micro-collapses by 90% and reinflates using a patented, pneumatic structural system. RHEON created an internal padding system that enhances rotational impact protection.
