Nutcase Introduces Metroride Commuter Helmet
Stripped-down, vintage-shaped commuter helmet makes daily commutes smarter.
September 22, 2011
Portland, Ore. – Inspired by Nutcase fans who love graphic designs but want the features of a modern lightweight bicycle helmet, Nutcase introduces the Metroride, a streamlined, retro-inspired helmet designed for daily commuting that is equal parts style, comfort and protection.
Available in nine tasty graphic designs including American Dream, Speed Stripe and City Dots, as well as six solid colors including Spartan Blue, Dutch Orange, and Sublime, the new Metroride features the Nutcase magnetic anti-pinch buckle for easy one handed operation, no-twist rope straps and the Nutcase Spin Dial System for a comfortable fit.
“Road helmet designs have become a little like alien technology or art sculptures,” says Michael Morrow, president, Nutcase, Inc. “Not everyone wants to look like they’re in the Tour de France when they are simply on their way to the office, to the store, or even just on a nice ride in the country. The Metroride is all about combining simple, classic design with modern performance features such as our anti-pinch magnetic buckle, removable visor and 360-degree reflectivity.”
“We believe the Metroride will be a perfect helmet for daily commuters, urban riders, touring cyclists and bicycle nuts of all kinds who enjoy wearing a helmet that is fresh and simple,” adds Morrow.
Designed and engineered with double in-mold PC shells over an EPS hard foam liner for shock absorption, the Metroride also comes with moisture wicking soft foam pads and features the Nutcase “Helmet Guy” icon and “I Love My Brain” tagline on the rear. The Nutcase Metroride will be on sale nationwide Spring 2012 at an MSRP of $99.99.
