Experience the ultimate balance of heavy-duty safety and weightless performance with the REKD Ultralite In-Mold Helmet. Purpose-built for riders across all disciplines—including aggressive mountain biking, commuter cycling, BMX, skateboarding, and competitive scooter riding—this high-performance helmet is a flagship offering from the protection specialists at REKD. By eliminating the heavy, bulky feel of traditional hardshell helmets, the Ultralite ensures you stay comfortable, agile, and cool during intense park sessions or technical trail loops, making it an indispensable piece of safety gear for daily trail-raiders and privateers alike.
The core breakthrough of this helmet lies in its advanced Ultra-Lightweight In-Mold Fusion Technology. Instead of using a heavy plastic cap glued to a foam core, this construction method co-molds the durable Polycarbonate (PC) outer shell directly with the high-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) inner core under immense heat and pressure. This fuses the two layers into a single, cohesive structure that yields an incredibly robust protection-to-weight ratio. Upon impact, the unified structure deforms progressively to absorb and disperse forces across the entire surface area of the shell, delivering elite-level skull defense without introducing unnecessary neck fatigue.
Anatomically engineered to sit low and secure on the skull, the helmet features an exclusive shell shape unique to REKD Protection that optimizes temporal and occipital coverage. To ensure an absolute, slip-free fitment, the S/M configuration includes dual-size anti-bacterial lined padding sets that can be easily interchanged to micro-adjust interior volume. The holding system is rounded out by a hardwearing nylon webbing strap and a high-strength nylon buckle, keeping the helmet locked perfectly in position through compressed g-outs, high-velocity whips, and hard landings.
Weighing an astonishingly light 290g in the S/M shell size, this premium helmet is fully laboratory-tested and dual-certified to rigorous EN 1078 and CPSC international safety standards, giving you total peace of mind out on the asphalt or dirt. Finished in a striking, deep earthy Blue tone, it is highlighted by premium quality printed front and rear logos, custom branded REKD rivets, and heat-stamp embossed graphics on the plush interior lining. Stay protected, minimize fatigue, and enjoy factory-fresh comfort with REKD's cutting-edge in-mold engineering.
