ERT™ is a 4 mm thickness foam which is engineered to reduce effects of both rotational and linear impact.
Concussions and brain trauma are normally caused by the combination of rotational acceleration from a sliding impact and linear acceleration from a direct impact. ERT™ is designed to be combined with EPS to reduce both impacts, thereby improving head protection and providing safer riding.
ERT™ is patented technology and stands for Energy Reduction Technology.
How does ERT™ work?
ERT™ works in both rotational and linear impacts. In a rotational impact, ERT™ shifts and folds over to distribute energy, thereby reducing the risks of severe head and brain injuries during an accident. During a linear impact, ERT™ absorbs some of the impact by compression and redirects energy away from the direction of impact. Helmet foam called EPS can be too stiff to compress under the forces of some linear impacts and might pass that linear impact energy to the head.
Proven Performance
ERT™ shows advanced performance in global third-party testing labs, Dynamic Research, Inc. in Los Angeles, TASS in Holland and at the University of Strasbourg. When combined with EPS, ERT™ demonstrated an 18.78-21.19% performance improvement in mitigating rotational impact and 3.22-5.46% improvements during linear impact.
ERT™ is made with a flexible and well-ventilated foam providing a comfortable fit and it helps avoid unsightly helmet hair.
