Online Retailer Becomes First UK Supplier of State-of-the-Art US Smart Helmets

The innovative smart helmets feature Bluetooth technology with integrated speakers for easy communication on the go plus the ground breaking Intelliquin system. The built-in SOS beacon and integrated crash detection system is set to make biking safer than ever before. Early tests have demonstrated such high success rates that Intelliquin technology is starting to be extended to other safety devices, with the most recent being smart helmets for cyclists.

The Quin crash detection system is powered by the seamlessly embedded Quin Arc chip which automatically alerts pre-set emergency contacts to a crash through email, SMS, and mobile push notification. The SOS beacon is a manual alternative, allowing bikers to request emergency assistance while on the move, at times when they are unable to pull over due to safety concerns.

Noel Lewis, Sales Director at iHelmets said, “Bikers are among some of the most vulnerable road users, and should an accident occur, time is of the essence, with even a few seconds delay in getting the right help having the potential to cause a devastating impact. Bikers in America have had access to Quin’s state-of-the-art helmets for months, with a national dealer network, but until now, the tech has not made it out of the US.”

“We’re incredibly proud and very excited to be chosen as the first approved international stockist of Quin’s latest helmets. We are thrilled to be doing our part to provide greater access to essential safety devices for UK bikers.”

Quin Design has selected four models for release in the UK market, from two of 2020’s latest smart range, all available exclusively through iHelmets. From the lightweight carbon Ghost range is the Quin Design Ghost Double Zero and the Quin Design Ghost Umbra, which has broken the record for being the lightest smart helmet in the world at just 1270g.

From the full face Spitfire range comes the Quin Design Spitfire Nero, and the Quin Design Spitfire Rosso. All helmets come with the Intelliquin system built in, along with a fully integrated Bluetooth system for listening to music, taking calls and map navigation, making biking even more enjoyable.

Ani Surabhi, Founder and Chief Designer at Quin Design, said, “Since Quin’s launch we have had a tremendous amount of interest and support from riders in the UK. Having studied at the Royal College of Arts and Imperial College London and having begun my career in helmet safety innovation with my former company Kranium in London, this market is of personal importance to me. We are thrilled to partner with iHelmets to make modern safety essentials more accessible in the UK and provide riders with outstanding local customer support.”
