URGE helmet RASCAS Dark Moon L/XL 58-61 cm

Dark Moon – ERT / MODERN AND ECOLOGICAL MTB HELMET, has a shell made of recycled polycarbonate obtained from plastic bottles, which gives it amazing blue reflections in the sunlight. In 2012, Urge noticed a particular interest in jet helmets in mountain bike and e-bike riding. Inspired by moto-trial racing, the REALJET model gained a huge following. As technology advances, these helmets allow for lighter, more efficient helmet designs. Welcome to RASCAS Naturally shaped Because simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, this mountain bike helmet is designed to be both simple and elegant. A playful texture on the visor reveals the brand logo in sunlight. Your own style Whether worn on the nose or under the visor, goggles are a part of our riding style, so it was important that they fit perfectly with the RASCAS. The goggles, on the other hand, are for those who aren't afraid to wear them, hardcore riders or freeriders. The helmet is designed to fit perfectly with the goggle frame. The flat design at the top of the temples allows for a perfect fit with the goggle strap, just like a full-face helmet. POP-OFF system The POP-OFF system, developed by Urge, goes beyond a standard two-position canopy. It features a third virtual position: the detachable position. This position is difficult to access, preventing mishandling, and operates under greater forces. The goal is to reduce the risk of injury and maintain the canopy's integrity in the event of an accident. SOFT MEANS SMARTER Our state-of-the-art MTB bike helmet couldn't do without the best protection, so it naturally uses ERT technology. Your everyday helmet Because we wanted this helmet to meet all our requirements, we equipped the Rascas with an innovative Fidlock magnetic buckle for a more comfortable, practical, and secure fit. Additionally, the helmet features a discreet and precise adjustment system at the back of the head for a perfect fit. Discover Unlike our first fiberglass model, the RASCAS features in-mold construction, allowing for greater design freedom. This is also the perfect opportunity for the new design team to reaffirm the brand's heritage while creating a new dynamic. Technical requirements such as airflow, an innovative visor system, safety, and comfort were at the forefront of the design, and the helmet's aesthetic responds to these requirements. Perfectly balanced between softness and aggressiveness, this helmet adapts to the rider's fluid ride, effortlessly tackling challenging trails. Just like the RASCAS trail above Grimaud, from which the helmet takes its name. Why use synthetic fibers when Mother Nature already does a great job? Unlike traditional materials, our bamboo fiber offers a unique combination of strength, flexibility, and comfort. Furthermore, its moisture-wicking properties help regulate temperature and keep the rider dry on long rides. Bamboo is a durable, rapidly renewable, and eco-friendly material, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious cyclists. After several years of rigorous testing, in 2024 we will finally be able to equip one of our helmets with a recycled polycarbonate shell. We are now able to produce a helmet made from 100% recycled material! The use of this recycled "plastic" limits the color choices, so for now, it is only available in RASCAS helmets called DARK MOON. This name comes from the dark blue color that reflects in sunlight. The blue color comes from the color of recycled plastic bottles. Helmets made from recycled polycarbonate naturally offer the same levels of durability, shock resistance, and performance as those made from new material. Air flow Some unscrupulous journalists use the number of vents in helmets as an indicator of breathability. However, good helmet ventilation is characterized by its ability to actively and passively dissipate heat. To achieve this, the RASCAS helmet is equipped with large vents at the front and rear, providing passive airflow. More importantly, to provide active ventilation, internal ventilation channels direct air, helping to keep your head cool and your mind clear. MEDIA REVIEWS: Fullattack.cc • Vojo • PinkBike TECHNOLOGIES: Energy Reduction Technology® Integrated technology ERT is a revolutionary system of soft, advanced polymer helmet inserts designed to absorb rotational and linear impact energy through unique material properties and structural geometry. This patented technology provides additional protection against brain injuries. Unlike other hard materials, which only respond to high-impact impacts, ERT activates instantly, even in lower-energy impacts. Most helmets must pass certification tests simulating worst-case impact forces exceeding 300 g. However, they are not required to absorb the lower-energy impacts often associated with brain injuries and concussions. ERT is designed to provide a higher level of protection against these critical, lower-energy impacts. ERT is designed to provide a higher level of protection against these
