Rudy Project rolls onto the trail

With Rudy Project, the first association is: fast helmets, sleek goggles, in an aero design for roadies. But that is now changing: The Italians are rolling into the terrain with a modern mountain bike helmet that incorporates a number of innovations. The matching goggles are of course also available.

For once, this helmet was not optimized in the wind tunnel: With the Protera, Rudy Project rolls off the road for the first time and presents its first mountain bike head protection. The helmet shell is pulled deep into the back of the head for optimum all-round protection, which should also take place in a good climate thanks to twelve ventilation openings.

The goggles are in the right place on the Protera, and the helmet shield can be easily moved to accommodate the visor. The company's own sunglasses, which fit in well both in terms of color and function, also fit in well. These "Sintryx" glasses stand out in particular thanks to the lens changing system: a simple push of a button above the nose clip opens the frame, the lenses can be easily removed and changed.

The Rudy Project makers have come up with an innovative and user-friendly fastening system: the straps that secure the helmet to the head can be easily removed from the helmet for easy cleaning or replacement.
