Motorcycling is freedom with a veteran-scented exhaust note – until a whole laboratory of particulate matter swirls around your nostrils at a red light. Zyon claims it has a solution: a smart helmet with its own “lung” system that turns your breath from rotten diesel into mountain breeze. If you believe that, read on. It’s the Zyon Smart Motorcycle Helmet.
The chin module of the Zyon Smart Motorcycle Helmet is Breath Safe System: water-repellent mesh repels drops, HEPA captures PM₂.₅, activated carbon absorbs toxins, layer Spunbond It keeps everything alive. One filter lasts for a month to three months of daily driving – enough to change the seasons on the calendar, not just the filter.
Three wind speeds, one button red like a Ferrari
Single-malt logic: one button, three modes – Eco, Normal, Hurricane. It allows you to whisper while cruising, while the turbine decibels of fresh air roar on the highway, while preventing the visor from fogging up and perfuming the ego. It can do that too – the Zyon Smart Motorcycle Helmet.
MIPS + LED halo: physics meets disco
Zyon Smart Motorcycle Helmet shell from ultralight fibers (ECE 22.06 & DOT) responds to impacts with MIPS a layer that allows for millimetre-scale slippage and mitigates rotational forces in the event of an oblique impact. The rear spoiler lights up in a 180-degree LED arc, and during braking, a sensor raises the brightness to “see-me-now” levels.
Chip, app and 18-hour battery – Zyon Smart Motorcycle Helmet
Inside the ticking clock Zyon Chip, which communicates via the application AQI ambient light, filter consumption and crash data. Smart features keep the USB-C charging port and battery powered up to 18 hours of autonomy – almost enough for Iron Butt, but definitely for a Friday afternoon rush hour.
What comes in the box and how much does the particle-free ego cost
Pre-order includes Zyon Smart Motorcycle Helmet, 12 filters, cleaning kit and bag for 720 € (including VAT) or 799 € hourly discount – in dollars around US$ 935.
When is it coming? Zyon Smart Motorcycle Helmet
The official website promises "mid 2026”, while the optimistic media is still waving “shipments before the end of the year”. The truth? Probably somewhere between PowerPoint and a Spanish assembly line.
Clarkson's Corner: Is this an exaggeration?
“If a motorcyclist needs a filtered atmosphere, he should buy a convertible and close the roof,” Jeremy would roar. But at the same time, he would have to admit that Zion at least it tries to solve a problem we ignore – the air we breathe when the hood of a city bus pours diesel coffee on us.
“Technology only makes sense when you forget it exists.” – an anonymous tester who rode the helmet for three days and only complained that the smell now bothers him when he takes the helmet off.
Conclusion: Zyon Smart Motorcycle Helmet
Zyon Smart Motorcycle Helmet is a hybrid between an air purifier and a modular helmet that dares to charge a premium price because it delivers something the competition doesn't (yet): fresh breath. Add MIPS, a smart app and a light circus, and you get a helmet-Swiss army knife for urban knights on two wheels. True, you will buy filters and charge the battery every few months, but if your daily commute is through the smoke tunnel of civilization, this investment may be the cheapest way to an oxygen mask. We are just waiting for the promised shipments to actually materialize – and for the smog to finally be taken out of yours lungs, not just from marketing brochures.
