44.1% Safer

Swiss-crafted safety. Born from innovation.

Traditional foam helmets haven’t changed in 50 years, and that means innovations in safety haven’t moved forward either. This is precisely what drove us to create the Ventete aH-1 Helmet.

Over 10 years of development, we explored new, cutting-edge materials and structures, always grounded in one question: How can we innovate a better safety solution? 

Enter the Ventete aH-1 Helmet, the world’s first helmet using air compression technology. It’s proven to be 44.1% safer and reduces the risk of linear brain injury compared to the safest traditional foam helmets*.

*Based on an independent report published by HEAD Lab, Imperial College London, the Ventete aH-1 Helmet shows a 44.1% reduction in linear brain injury risk compared to the best-performing EPS helmet out of 30 most popular UK helmets tested. 

Superior rotational and linear impact protection

The Ventete aH-1 Helmet protects against the leading cause of serious brain injury, rotational impact forces. 

In an accident, there are two types of force that affects the risk and severity of brain injury. A straight-on, linear impact causes your head to move in a straight line. But more likely, your head will be hit at an angle, or in a twisting motion. This is rotational impact, the main cause of more severe brain traumas.

The Ventete aH-1 Helmet protects against both types of impact. We created an impact-absorbing liner with NASA-born RHEON™ made from a non-Newtonian polymer that stiffens on impact, dispersing energy to reduce rotational impact forces.


The Ventete aH-1 Helmet is fully certified for the EU and UK. Tested at the British Standards Institution and exceeds the strict EN1078 Standards.

‘Ventete technology reduces linear brain injury risk by 44.1% compared to the best performing of the 30 most popular conventional cycle helmets used in the UK.’

As part of our commitment to furthering research in brain injury prevention, we conducted additional safety testing with HEAD Lab, an independent research lab at Imperial College London. The Ventete aH-1 Helmet was pitted against the top performing helmets in the UK for both linear and rotational impact.
