The Livall range of cycle helmets<\/a> are stylish road helmets packed with technology to enhance your safety on the bike.<\/p>\n

What do you worry about most when you ride out to meet your friends on a Sunday morning? Not how many Strava trophies you\u2019ll get, or who will be first over the morning\u2019s steepest climb. Not whether you\u2019ll get a puncture, and certainly not whether your local coffee shop will have stock of almond croissants.<\/p>\n

No, if you\u2019re one of South Africa\u2019s estimated 40 000 recreational road cyclists, chances are you worry most about being hit by a car.<\/p>\n

Your anxiety is not unfounded. The most recent statistic from the Road Traffic Management Corporation is scary enough to make you hang up your bike and never ride it again: In 2016, 451 cyclists were killed on South Africa\u2019s roads, and it seems that the situation hasn\u2019t improved much since then.<\/p>\n

But you\u2019re not going to hang up your bike. You\u2019re going to keep on riding, because little else compares to the sense of all-round satisfaction that your Sunday ride delivers.<\/p>\n

What you can<\/em> do is invest in gear that will decrease the chance of a serious accident. Research has highlighted three key factors: wearing a helmet, visibility on the road and limiting rider distractions. The new Livall BH60SE ticks all of those boxes in one sleek, stylish package. It\u2019s a smart helmet with extraordinary features that will redefine the way you think about cycling safety.<\/p>\n

Light it up<\/h2>\n

There are three rows of integrated LED lights on the back of the helmet. You can set these lights to flash, alerting motorists to your presence, or you can control the lower two rows using the wireless handlebar remote and signal your intentions when you\u2019re about to make a turn.<\/p>\n

Crash alert<\/h2>\n

Connect the helmet to your smartphone via the Livall app, and a designated contact will receive a message and a GPS location in the event of a crash. This warning is triggered by a three-axis gyroscope built into the helmet, which senses harsh impact or sudden deceleration. There\u2019s also an SOS button: Push it for five seconds and an alert will be sent to your emergency contact.<\/p>\n

Easy communication<\/h2>\n

With a built-in Bluetooth speaker above each ear, you can safely listen to music or turn-by-turn navigation while you ride, without affecting your spatial awareness. You can also have a phone conversation, thanks to the wind-proof microphone that muffles audio interference at speeds of up to 60km\/h. If any other members of your cycling group have a Livall helmet, you can even chat to them using walkie-talkie function. Handy if you get dropped!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a pretty great helmet\u2026<\/h2>\n

Smart tech aside, the BH60SE offers all the protection your brain deserves. It\u2019s made from EPS foam and meets all mandated international safety standards. The aerodynamic design looks great, and the 24 vents offer excellent ventilation. Amazingly, Livall has managed to keep the weight to only 278g, marginally more than the energy bar in your jersey pocket.<\/p>\n
