What You Will See
When you wear a Reevu helmet your view of the road ahead is not
in any way effected. However it is your view of the road behind
that is so dramatically transformed.
You can now see in front and behind without the need to turn or
look over your shoulder.

Our testers have commented that eventually you are able to maintain
awareness of the road ahead and behind without making a conscious
effort.
That means
no more shaky steering while you are looking over
your shoulder and no loss of vision of the road in front when you
are looking behind you.
This quite simply transforms your cycling experience. We encourage
wearers to make that all important check over their shoulder before
making any manoeuvres.
A Gem of an Idea
The
Reevu helmet rear view system was invented to address a failing in
the very heart of cycle design and operation.
It is against the law not to have a rear view mirror system in a car
or on a motorbike, but on a pedal cycle no such rules apply.
Rules or no rules - the inventors of the Reevu rear view system decided
that accident prevention was just as important as protection
in the case of an accident and so the Reevu system came to
be.
Many
have designed clip on mirrors that protrude from a helmet and other
such external devices or bicycle accessories but never
before had serious consideration been given to integrating a rear
vision system into the shell of a helmet.
The patented multiple mirror system that is fitted within every Reevu
cycle safety helmet is a unique achievement of creative thinking and
technical excellence. The mirror system is manufactured from a reflective
polycarbonate material rather than glass. Unlike glass,
this material is almost impossible to break and is lighter providing
additional safety and comfort to the wearer.
Put simply, the system effectively bends the light around
the shape of the top of the head - all within the moulding of the
helmet - to provide a clear view of the road behind.
Early prototypes were met with absolute astonishment. It is so stunningly
apparent from the first moment a helmet is worn that it really will
make a huge difference to the safety of cyclists on our roads.
Reevu helmets prevent accidents. While other helmets only protect
against impact in the case of an accident Reevu both prevents
and protects.
Rear View System
It
has taken 7 years of intense research and development to perfect the
rear vision system fitted in every Reevu helmet.
The system uses a patented design that allows the wearer to achieve
the same awareness given by a rear view mirror in a motor car.
The challenge was of course to achieve this design within the very
limited space of the housing of a cycle helmet.
This technology will transform the comfort and safety of cyclists
who wear Reevu helmets.
