Rekd Helmets

REKD helmets use either ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or in-mold polycarbonate shells. The Ultralite series uses a polycarbonate shell fused to EPS foam, reducing weight and providing a sleeker profile. ABS shells offer robust impact resistance and durability for street riding.

Yes. Most REKD helmets meet CE EN 1078 and CPSC standards, ensuring protection against single and multiple impacts. Certification labels are usually found on the inside of the helmet.

Models feature dial-fit systems at the back, allowing you to tighten the helmet easily. Foam or mesh pads of varying thicknesses are included to fine-tune the internal fit. These systems ensure a snug fit without creating pressure points.

REKD helmets include strategically placed vents. The Urbanlite has large front and rear vents for airflow, while the Ultralite uses smaller channels combined with a moisture-wicking liner to manage sweat. Adequate ventilation keeps you cool during sessions.

Yes. The Elite 2.0 helmet meets additional certifications (ASTM F2032) required for BMX racing. It features thicker shells and more coverage for higher-impact crashes.

Absolutely. The Urbanlite model includes an integrated rear light and reflective stickers, enhancing visibility for night commuting. Its sleek profile looks appropriate for urban use while offering skating-level protection.

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove washable liners and hand wash them. Allow the helmet to air dry fully before storage. Avoid storing helmets in extreme heat, which can degrade the EPS foam.

Replace after any significant impact or visible damage. Even if no damage is apparent, helmets should be replaced every three to five years due to material degradation.
