Lumos Nyxel

Lumos positions the Nyxel as a helmet built around city riding, whether on a conventional bicycle or an e-bike. The maker's pitch rests on three ideas: being seen, getting help quickly after a crash, and looking good enough to wear every day.

Lighting and crash detection

According to the maker, lights placed across the entire shell provide 360° visibility at night and in low-light conditions. The helmet also uses Quin technology for crash detection; the campaign says it can detect an accident immediately and notify emergency contacts.

Fit and design

The maker describes the Nyxel as lightweight and well ventilated, intended to stay comfortable over longer rides, with an adjustable strap and fit system meant to suit a wide range of riders. Design options are tied to the Kickstarter project: the campaign says special variants will be chosen by backers.

• 360° visibility from lights positioned around the helmet, per the maker
• Quin-based crash detection with emergency contact notification
• Lightweight, ventilated construction with adjustable strap and fit system
• Exclusive design options selected by Kickstarter backers

Beyond daily commuting, the maker frames the Nyxel as suitable for weekend cycling and other sports and leisure riding, and as a nudge toward bicycles and e-bikes as a more sustainable way to get around.
