A new and very unique cycling helmet has launched on the Indiegogo crowdfunding website this week in the form of the LifeBEAM cycling helmet, which has been designed to monitor your heart rate and performance as you cycle.
The LifeBEAM cycling helmet is the world’s first smart cycling helmet with an integrated heart rate sensor and is equipped with a state-of-the-art optical physiological sensor, accelerometer, and wireless communication. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
“We integrated our unique sensor & algorithms, originally developed for fighter pilots & astronauts, into the Lazer’s GENESIS helmet resulting in the SMART – a cycling helmet that provides highly accurate, real-time measurements of heart rate under normal as well as extreme physiological conditions without the problems inherent to chest straps.
The information gathered by the SMART appears in real-time on your mobile phone, sport watch, or cycling computer via ANT+ or Bluetooth.”
Advanced Technology for Enhanced Performance
The LifeBEAM cycling helmet stands out due to its advanced technology, which was initially developed for high-stakes environments such as fighter jets and space missions. This technology ensures that the helmet can provide precise and reliable data even under the most demanding conditions. The optical physiological sensor embedded in the helmet continuously monitors your heart rate, eliminating the need for uncomfortable chest straps that can chafe or slip during intense rides.
Moreover, the helmet’s accelerometer tracks your movements, providing additional data that can be used to analyze your cycling performance. This combination of heart rate monitoring and movement tracking offers a comprehensive overview of your physical condition and cycling efficiency, helping you to optimize your training and achieve your fitness goals.
Seamless Integration with Modern Devices
One of the standout features of the LifeBEAM cycling helmet is its seamless integration with modern devices. The helmet communicates wirelessly with your mobile phone, sport watch, or cycling computer using ANT+ or Bluetooth technology. This means you can easily view your heart rate data in real-time, allowing you to make immediate adjustments to your cycling intensity based on your physiological feedback.
For example, if you notice your heart rate is too high, you can slow down to avoid overexertion. Conversely, if your heart rate is lower than your target zone, you can push harder to maximize your workout. This real-time feedback is invaluable for both amateur cyclists looking to improve their fitness and professional athletes aiming to fine-tune their performance.
The LifeBEAM cycling helmet project is currently over on the Indiegogo website looking to raise enough pledges to make the jump from concept to production. So if you think LifeBEAM is something you could benefit from, visit the Indiegogo website now to make a pledge and help LifeBEAM become a reality.
In addition to its technological prowess, the LifeBEAM helmet is designed with comfort and safety in mind. The Lazer’s GENESIS helmet, which serves as the base for the LifeBEAM system, is renowned for its lightweight construction and superior ventilation. This ensures that you remain cool and comfortable even during long rides in hot weather.
Furthermore, the helmet’s aerodynamic design reduces drag, allowing you to ride faster with less effort. The combination of advanced technology, comfort, and safety makes the LifeBEAM cycling helmet a compelling choice for cyclists of all levels.
