How do you test the reliability of a Graphene road helmet?

The Catlike Mixino bike helmet uses an exclusive interior mesh of aramid and graphene nanofibers to create a very lightweight and ventilated helmet

The new range top Mixino It is the latest evolution of philosophy Catlike and the first cycling helmet to incorporate nanofibers from graphene in its internal aramid mesh. Thanks to the use of this revolutionary material it is possible to create a very light and ventilated helmet.

The US homologation test requires a drop of 300g in a single hit. The catlike mixino bike helmet is capable of falling below 300g even hitting it 4 consecutive times at the same point.

The Catlike Mixino bike helmet achieves this thanks to its unique and exclusive aramid mesh and graphene nanofiber mesh and its CES design.

 

 

WHAT IS GRAFENO?

Graphene is a recently discovered material, derived from graphite and whose physical and chemical properties are unique. Its structure made up of carbon atoms in a hexagonal shape gives rise to a material up to 200 times stronger than steel and much lighter. An enormous mechanical resistance is what has allowed Catlike its application to its Mixino model, achieving maximum resistance against impact as well as an amazing lightness. This, together with aramid, a very robust and resistant fiber used in the aerospace or ballistics sector.

Together, both compounds give rise to a unique structure that protects like no other helmet in the world. The Catlike Mixino is the only helmet in the world that applies these graphene nanofibers to its structure for better protection.

WHAT IS THE 'CES' DESIGN?

The CES design privileges the location of the air intakes so that Any impact on the bike helmet always and at any time affects more than one nerve. Thus, in the event of a blow, the energy generated is distributed by this structure, increasing the cyclist's protection exponentially. This structure derived in turn in the construction of the first oval helmets of Catlike, and in the end it has ended up being its hallmark, its unique and globally recognizable image. But that came later, since the design happened to the starting idea: to protect more and better the cyclist while improving lightness and ventilation during exercise.
