2022 WINNER: ROAD EQUIPMENT
The Design & Innovation Award is both a seal of approval and the benchmark achievement for the bike industry’s highest-performing products. The Design & Innovation Award is more than just a title-giver or a round of applause for brands. It’s the definitive award that decisively tests products in the real world, assessing them in their entirety and reaching considered verdicts.
Protecting Your Head and the Planet in Style
KAV's mission is twofold:
Design, engineer and fabricate helmets from the ground up to maximize protection against concussions using advanced materials, manufacturing techniques and patented technologies.
Manufacture helmets with sustainability at the forefront using net zero carbon emissions manufacturing here in Redwood City, CA.
Personalization
Each helmet is fabricated around your head measurements providing a superior fit, improved aerodynamics and a flattering profile. Personalization made possible by the KAV PerFit System - customization software feeding our 3D printers.
Unparalleled Protection
While your helmet is unique to you, it benefits from a universal set of technologies to reduce linear and rotational impact forces. We started with the science of head trauma and built impact rigs before a pencil began even sketching our first helmet.
Net Zero Emissions
Protecting you and protecting the environment aren’t mutually exclusive. Our made-to-measure process means we only make what’s needed and fabricated here in Redwood City, California. So there’s no excess inventory, or shipping products from halfway across the world.
About Us
We are parents, athletes, stewards, and engineers dedicated to pushing the limits of technology so you can safely push your limits. Whether it's on your bike or on the ice, we've just begun.
