Cyphon
Unlike anything that has come before it, the new Cyphon helmet blends classic Pro-tec styling with ground breaking technology. Built around an EPS liner that is injected directly onto an injection molded "macro" shell, the Cyphon represents a unique hypbrid construction that combines the durability and impact resistance of a hard shell with the lightweight and low profile aesthetic of an in-mold micro shell helmet. As if this revolutionary construction was not enough, the Cyphon also comes equipped with the exclusive BOA fit system, provideing micro adjustment allowing riders to dial in the perfect fit. Buckle up, the rules just changed.
Looks great, comfortable fit (although it has minimal padding), almost forget its there sometimes!

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
I love this thing!!! Aside from it being slightly tight on the back of my huge mellon, the helmet is awesome. I rode with a bell helmet for a long time, and the very first ride out with this one my head felt 5 to 10 degrees cooler due to the huge air intakes. Also, the visor stays low, but not too low to help keep some of the sun out of your eyes. Overall, it is a much much better helmet for any type of riding than the traditional looking cycle helmets.

Strengths:
The Pro-tec name is all that needs to be said. The lid is a multi bash and keeps on goin. Very cozy fit with ample ventalation for hot days or hot trails. Inner pads direct sweat from the eyes. The fit system is the most simple I have used in a long time. Plus it looks so bad ass!
Weaknesses:
A little heavy for racing, but awesome for freeride, urban, dirt jump etc. None other weak spots so far...

Great helmet you really get what you pay for. Awesome style meets inovation hand to hand. A sweet lid for any kind of riding
