The first product of the new BBB Cycling - Limited series launched on the 16th of September at Ride Out, a collaboration between Zero Lemon and BBB Cycling.
Amsterdam - 16 September 2021 - Hailing from Leiden & London, the paths of BBB Cycling & Zero Lemon have converged at Ride Out in Amsterdam. The three brand entities are elated to announce a magnificent & granitic outcome: the Zero Lemon x BBB Cycling helmet, the first of the BBB Cycling - Limited series, composed of a limited release of 100 pieces that was released on the 16th of September, 2021.
The helmet is designed in Leiden, the Netherlands. This special edition of the Maestro MIPS© will be retailed for €150/unit– only available at Ride Out for the first 3 days. The remaining units will be available via Ride Out’s webshop for European purchase.
Those who go for optimal safety and ventilation choose the Maestro. The MIPS© means an extra layer that optimally protects you against rotating impact. The helmet has a unique HaloGuard© ventilation system that provides optimal airflow at all speeds. Its super compact design makes it one of the most aerodynamic helmets in the pack. Compact, strong and designed to make you the ruler of the road.
The design is inspired by the textures of marble that reflect the complexity of life, structured by the pass of time and polished by the human hand. One of the elements that always conquered the mind of its designer and inspirational cyclist, Chris Hall of Zero Lemon.
‘Marble is a Metamorphic Rock, composed of recrystallised carbonate minerals. It’s a material I have always been fascinated by and how it takes thousands, if not millions of years to create. It’s simply beautiful and this design harks back to my Architecture days, as a product I used to try to use in modern and unique ways, often recreating marble patterns in sustainable ways. The helmet design shows some of the intricate veins and patterns you would see in the stones, helping to also keep your head protected, being encompassed in this helmet from BBB.’Chris Hall, Zero Lemon
