Conventional helmets can absorb direct impact but are not designed to mitigate rotational impact forces that cause concussion and TBI. Notice how the standard helmet “spins” upon impact, where the RLS helmet deflects rotational force and remains in line. This difference is crucial, because when the helmet spins, the brain can too. To protect the brain, a helmet must do more than just absorb, it must also deflect. The RLS Release Layer System deflects better than any other.
RLS helmets offer leading performance in the Virginia Tech star rating test.

RLS Force Activated Adhesive allows RLS bearings to be applied to the shell as a bearing-matrix layer. It intelligently releases to allow bearings to roll upon detection of a set amount of force. Stable from -20c to +50c, Force Activated Adhesive is engineered for the helmet’s useful lifespan.
Drop-tested in the real world to handle the inevitable knocks and bumps of everyday use, RLS helmets are designed and engineered to withstand accidental drops from 0.8–1.5m without activation, remaining ready for the impacts that matter.
Your RLS helmet takes care of you on every ride, so why not return the favour? Preserve its longevity by storing it in the provided helmet bag (or one of your own) when you’re not using it. Just make it a habit.
