Top-Rated by Virginia Tech
Among all 5-star cycling helmets evaluated by Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings, PIKIO Si equipped with OBLIK achieved the highest score by a significant margin.
What is OBLIK?
OBLIK is an integrated, modular impact-management system designed to adapt to impacts based on their location, direction, and intensity.
What is Virginia Tech?
Designed for Angled Impacts
Some helmets address angled (oblique) impacts using a low-friction layer that allows limited movement between the helmet and the head. While this can help redirect rotational motion, it remains constrained by a structure that does not adapt to how an impact occurs.
OBLIK takes a different approach. Our proprietary technology is engineered to respond to both linear and rotational forces by allowing the helmet structure to adapt to the force of impact.
Dynamic Response
OBLIK’s proprietary nodal system connects independently mounted modules to a base liner, creating a modular helmet structure engineered for dynamic movement and controlled release. During impact, the modules can move independently to help manage forces applied to the head. The modular design also forms deep internal channels throughout the helmet, enhancing airflow while reducing overall helmet weight.
Beyond Rigid Helmet Structures
Conventional helmets rely on a single foam structure that limits how they respond to varying impact conditions.
OBLIK enables localized response based on impact location, direction, and intensity, allowing the structure to react more efficiently under load.
This approach supports a more adaptive response to real-world impacts.
360° Impact Management
Modular components help reduce both rotational forces and linear forces from any direction for enhanced helmet performance.
Macro Cavities
Inspired by bone structure, macro cavities enhance the shock absorption of the helmet.
Dual Density EPS
Delivers optimized impact absorption for both low and high-speed impacts in this lightweight helmet.
Reinforced Layers
Polycarbonate reinforcement makes the helmet lighter and stronger for enhanced protection.
Lightweight Design
Every aspect is engineered for a lightweight helmet design that prioritizes impact performance and comfort.
Balanced Aerodynamics & Ventilation
Deep internal channels and true-size vents direct airflow efficiently, enhancing cooling while maintaining aerodynamic performance.
Eyewear Dock
Integrated sunglasses storage
Eco Conscious Design
Inspired by bone structure, the optimized shock-absorbing architecture uses material more efficiently throughout the helmet. Less waste. More planet.
