Sweet Protection Introduces VIZ Collection, Bringing High Visibility to Modern Helmet Design

As daylight hours grow shorter, Sweet Protection is introducing the VIZ Collection, a new color concept for Fall/Winter 2026/27 designed to help cyclists stand out on the road without sacrificing clean, modern design.

Built around the idea that visibility and style shouldn’t be mutually exclusive, the VIZ Collection brings bold color and reflective detailing to some of Sweet Protection’s most popular road, commuter and mountain bike helmets. The result is a collection designed to stand out during the day and become more noticeable when illuminated by headlights after dark.

To See and Be Seen

The Falconer 2Vi® Mips, Falconer Aero 2Vi® Mips, Primer Mips, Commuter Mips, Bushwhacker 2Vi® Mips and Ripper Mips are available in two distinctive VIZ treatments:

• VIZ Yellow — Bright, fresh and designed to stand out from a distance, VIZ Yellow gives riders a bold option for increased visibility in traffic while maintaining Sweet Protection’s clean Scandinavian design aesthetic.

• VIZ Black — Created for riders who prefer a classic black helmet but don’t want to compromise on visibility. Reflective logos and dot patterns integrated into the shell come to life when illuminated by headlights, adding nighttime visibility while preserving an understated look during the day.

The Ripper Junior Mips also joins the VIZ concept, extending the collection to younger riders and offering increased visibility for everything from neighborhood rides to the daily trip to school.

Bold by day. Reflective by night. No compromise on style or performance.

Falconer Aero 2Vi® Mips: Performance Meets Visibility

At the performance end of the VIZ Collection sits the Falconer Aero 2Vi® Mips, Sweet Protection’s top-of-the-line road cycling helmet.

Built for riders who know every aerodynamic advantage matters, the Falconer Aero 2Vi® Mips features detachable magnetic aero covers that can be snapped into place to maximize aerodynamics or provide additional coverage in inclement weather. When temperatures rise or the road turns uphill, the covers can be removed and stored in a jersey pocket to maximize airflow through Sweet Protection’s STACC ventilation system.

The helmet is built around Sweet Protection’s 2Vi® technology platform with the Mips® Air Safety System for protection against rotational forces. It has also earned a 5-Star Rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab, reinforcing Sweet Protection’s focus on independently tested helmet performance.

Additional features include an integrated 360-degree fit system with on-the-fly height adjustment, eyewear grippers, a magnetic Fidlock buckle and a wider rear opening designed to accommodate ponytails.
