September 2014: knights of the modern era gather once again to kick up a storm at the Red Bull District Ride in Nuremberg old town, in front of 120,000 spectators. Team uvex was in the middle of the action – double strength.
Shooting out of a window in Nuremberg Town Hall, riders grab their first chance for big air. Flying up to 10 metres off the ground, they land up to 15 metres later in the main square. When tricks and jumps go close to the rider’s limit, it is vital that only professionals should have their hands in the game.
The Red Bull District Ride is one of the world’s most spectacular slopestyle bike competitions, and one of 5 events in the 2014 FMB World Tour Diamond Series for For this reason the organisers relied on freestyle MTB. uvex safety to kit out the craftsmen who were tasked Riders start with an 8-meter with building the circuit, drop off the castle wall, full from head to toe in uvex speed over steps, obstacles and dirt hills towards the safety products. city centre to the climax of the competition:
uvex sports was on the start line at the Red Bull District Ride. uvex core athletes – riders Simon Kirchmann, Lukas Knopf, Magnus Baumann und Szymon Godziek – were there too. Szymon showed the crowd in Nuremberg why he is one of the best slopestyle riders in the world.
Before the District Ride, Szymon had collaborated with uvex to design his own signature range of helmets and eyewear, available as a limited edition. At uvex headquarters in F端rth, Germany he met with product developers and followed the equipment manufacturing process. Clearly this young Polish rider feels extremely safe using uvex equipment. In the main square Szymon Godziek landed the first Tsunami Backflip in an offical competition. Tens of thousands celebrated with the uvex team rider, who secured the award for Best Trick with this jump.

For two decades uvex’s manufacturing plant at Obernzell, near Passau, Germany has been a powerhouse of innovation. In the 2015/2016 financial year, around one million helmets will be produced here. Made in Germany is practiced daily. Complex technologies, new materials and sophisticated production processes – making a cycling helmet is a highly complex process. Yet behind it lies a simple theory: basically every helmet consists of two perfectly matched parts.
“The outer shell maintains the shape of the helmet. The foam-like EPS inside absorbs the energy in the event of an impact,” explains Thomas Hirsch, product manager for helmets at the Obernzell factory.
Thermo-moulding and milling machines are used to create outer shells. Foam machines create the steam reaction which inflates expanded polystyrene (EPS) until it reaches the exact density required for a helmet interior. And is built from up to 42 individual parts. There are also additional departments including order preparation, production control and quality control. “Every morning we make and test a sample foam helmet. We weigh it, cut it open and test the structure of the foam,” says Thomas Hirsch. “We also take every 500th helmet from the production line and test it to destruction. After all, there may be anomalies which are not visible.” Such comprehensive testing ensures that, as well as exceptional comfort, every helmet which leaves the factory in Obernzell guarantees the wearer: safety – Made in Germany.

Mountain bikers need a well-ventilated helmet on climbs. On descents uncompromising protection is paramount. uvex jakkyl hde is the perfect two-in-one solution. uvex has equipped this all-mountain helmet with a removable chin guard. “Two locking knobs securely fix the laminated glassfibre chin guard to the helmet,” says product manager Johannes Schache. “This simple mechanism requires no tools – and the whole process takes just a few seconds.” uvex sports developers worked meticulously for a year on the new top-of-therange enduro model. Sketches were made, prototypes were built. The first design was discarded, along with the first technical solution for the connection mechanism. The helmet experts were finally satisfied with the third iteration.
“Our goal was the perfect balance of maximum ventilation and sufficient protection for fast descents,” explains senior designer Noah Sussmann. “The helmet is slightly lower at the neck, there is an oversized visor – yet the goggle can still be worn on the forehead during breaks in riding. ”Double inmould technology with a second polycarbonate shell, ventilation channels just like the top race model uvex EDAero, proven Boa® system, removable liner, plus a removable chin guard, which is also available separately.
