What is WaveCel?

WaveCel is a collapsible cellular structure that lines the inside of your helmet. It works like a crumple zone that absorbs the force of an impact before it reaches your head. Read the study to learn more. You’ll never want to ride anything else again.

Virginia Tech validation

All WaveCel helmets received the highest rating from Virginia Tech’s third-party testing facility. This unbiased assessment proved Bontrager’s WaveCel helmets to be among the highest level of protection available to cyclists with a 5-STAR rating.

Cooler than cool

WaveCel keeps you cooler. It minimises traditional heat-capturing EPS foam and sits perpendicular to the helmet, allowing for more airflow to your forehead and temples. These areas of your head are the most perceptive regions for cooling.
