It is a nice helmet, but it's also quite heavy and becomes uncomfortable after riding for a while. Also the ventilation isn't good enough for warmer climates like here in Australia
Good points. All the LEDs + batteries add quite a bit of weight - it's the same issue similar helmets like the Lumos Matrix have. I would love to see a 400g version with the same lighting patterns though, it looks really cool in person.
Nice review... ...I'm considering the Xnito helmet, that happens to be far more basic than todays review helmet. However, the Xnito is equipped with a light for the both the front and rear, allowing the rider to be seen. The big attraction for me is the Xnito meets the Dutch NTA-8776 standards. The NTA-8776 standards offers a level of protection for bike speeds up to 28mph. That's important to me, I happen to ride a Class 3 eBike. If I may suggest, It would be nice if The Sweet Cyclists would perform a review on the Xnito helmet.
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll see if we can get our hands on the Xnito helmet for a review. With electric bikes and faster riding, NTA-8776 makes a lot of sense.
Yes. You can setup the emergency contacts on the app. As long as you have cell phone reception your emergency contacts will receive a message and location information.
Not sure what you're implying - a magnetic buckle or plastic buckle should not automatically open in a crash. The magnetic buckle is faster to put on or take off than plastic buckles though.
Hello, I have a problem with pairing the remote control with the helmet, I did everything I also restored the helmet to factory settings but i cant pairing. Do you know what can i do? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MK0azcF1eCM.html
From your video - it doesn't seem like your remote is lighting up at all? Maybe you have a dead battery or you forgot to pull the little plastic protector piece it ships with that prevents the battery from draining.
@@TheSweetCyclists it wasn't there little plastic protector, i have new video when i want charged battery pilot don't blink How is your charging process? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-27dCM04Z-9g.html
Yes, we'll be reviewing the Xnito helmet in the near future as well. This Unit 1 Faro is not NTA-8776 rated (i.e. a higher speed Dutch crash rating) but there are helmets like the Bern Hudson (thesweetcyclists.com/bern-hudson-commuter-helmet-review/) that do have the rating.
You should see the Lazer Urbanize helmet (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OHfmlzWr2wQ.html) - that looks like it's out of RoboCop. Being an urban helmet this isn't nearly as ventilated as road cycling helmets, it's better suited for shorter rides or less aggressive commuting.
