Troy Lee Designs' New Flowline Helmet Range Is Designed For E-Bike Use via insideevs.com
With more and more electric bikes hitting the road each year, it begs the question: does regular cycling gear cut it in terms of safety? Right off the bat, the clear answer would be no, especially when it comes to helmets. Naturally, e-bikes are capable of going at much higher speeds than regular bikes—most bikes in the Europe are required to meet a 15 mile-per-hour limit. Meanwhile, in the U.S., e-bikes can go as fast as 28 miles per hour.
One such company is Troy Lee Designs, a gear and equipment manufacturer that's been in the mountain bike business for as long as I can remember. The company recognizes that more and more people are riding the trails aboard powerful electric mountain bikes, some of which can provide up to 400-percent assistance thanks to powertrains like the. That said, having four times the power means that your gear must be more resilient, while remaining comfortable and lightweight.
In terms of styling both helmets are pretty similar in that they use the same in-mold consturction designed to remain snug on your noggin as you ride along. Furthermore, they're both equipped with the MIPS B-Series liner which is tech you'd find in fancy bike helmets and motorbike helmets designed to counter rotational forces in the event of a crash. The differences lie in the EPS liner, chin strap, and comfort features.
As for pricing and availability, Troy Lee Designs offers the Flowline for $119.99 USD, and the more premium Flowline SE for $159.99 USD. There's also a kids version called the Youth Flowline, which offers similar levels of protection as the standard Flowline. It retails for $89.99 USD.
