LEM Helmets, manufacturer of innovative and performance-driven cycling helmets for road, mountain, commute, and kids, introduces its new lightweight MotivAir cycling helmet. Precision-built for road, XC, and gravel cycling, the 220 gram (size M) helmet features LEM’s proprietary exoCarbon technology and low-density EPS foam to deliver improved low-energy and oblique impact management and an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio.
“The technology and construction of the MotivAir is precise and sophisticated to offer enhanced head protection in a lightweight, compact design,” said Keith Cozzens, Global Brand Marketing Director at LEM. “By integrating a thin, rigid, full-carbon exterior shell, we’re able to improve the overall benefits of the high-performance helmet for cyclists, and, in turn, help create a riding experience that’s memorable.”
The MotivAir’s innovative construction moves the interior structure to the exterior of the helmet. Using its strong, thin, and light exoCarbon technology, LEM’s created a full-carbon exterior shell with advanced high and low-energy impact management due to its dynamic design of a hard outer shell and internal low-density EPS foam. This bolsters the strength-to-weight ratio and allows LEM to maximize vents for cooling – without compromising integrity.
