Daniel Bürgin looking for the right enduro helmet

The KED® PECTOR ME-1 is one of the most comfortable and above all the safest mountain bike helmets on the market. The helmet corresponds to the NTA 8776 standard for S-Pedelecs and e-bikes and it can absorb significantly more impact energy than conventional wheel helmets.

Daniel Bürgin, the best-placed German at the 24-hour mountain bike world championship 2022, has a comprehensive report on the KED® on his website PECTOR ME-1 Endurohelm published and this report is about this blog post. Daniel Bürgin - moment? Kenner may now think: What does Daniel Bürgin want with an endurohelm? Daniel Bürgin is considered a “ultracyclist” and has been confessed as such in terms of helmet for years KED® Rayzor falls for. But who says that a real two -wheel fan should be limited to a discipline? Daniel Bürgin formulates this in the introduction to his experience report:

"I myself love every facet of cycling - ultrarycling, racing bike, short -distance marathons, soon the grave is added".

That goes with us KED Of course the same and we are all the more pleased, in this blog post a few reading samples from his very detailed report on PECTOR ME-1 To be able to quote - with friendly permission from Daniel himself, of course.

What there is to read at Daniel was difficult for us to digest at first! The PECTOR ME-1 Wasn't Daniel's first choice when it comes to endurohelm - at least not right away. Because Daniel Bürgin first had to have negative experiences with the model of another manufacturer before our PECTOR ME-1 Ultimately, he was allowed to convince him. In the end everything will be fine again!

His first endurobike bought Daniel Bürgin in 2019. Since there was no competitions in his favorite discipline at the time, he used the time to dive into the genre of enduro drivers and that also meant in "Material new territory ... Savings beyond 100mm, protectors, helmets, etc.".

But just read yourself: Daniel Bürgin looking for the right helmet ...

"Why the choice on the PECTOR ME-1 fell, it is quickly explained. On the one hand, this helmet (like my predecessor) has that MIPS Security system, which can better absorb the rotary forces in the event of a fall. To the other hand fulfilled KED® with this helmet the NTA 8776 standard, an increased security standard for helmets for S-Pedelecs and e-bikes. I neither drive S-Pedelec or e-bike, but since I flew through the windscreen of a VW Polo in the summer of 2021, the topic of security has become even more important for me. Even if car traffic can be expected less on my endurotrails. Knowing you are protected by the highest security standard, soothes me and my wife alike when I rob the trails. "

At KED®, security is of course always the focus and therefore we attach great importance to the highest safety and quality standards. But of course the optics and comfort must not be neglected and the KED® could also be in these disciplines PECTOR ME-1 Daniel Bürgin convince. In the further course of his report, Daniel describes which decor he has chosen and then goes into the image of comfort that is so immensely important. First with regard to the competitive product and then in relation to the KED® PECTOR ME-1:

"However, the comfort was much more important than the appearance. Because here we are already in the first problem of the predecessor helmet. Despite a number of setting options for the clamping on the back of the head, the clamping blocks caused a headache after a very short time. Importible to change my helmet on the tour of my helmet was not enough space between the helmet shell and head, then proved to be a death sentence for this helmet. " ...
… "the PECTOR ME-1 I was able to get excited about his comfort straight away. The headache caused by pressure points on the back of the head and the brackets of the wheel glasses have never recovered. With MIPS And NTA 8776 is at the latest in terms of safety, which also makes you feel good. The good accessibility of the rotating closure is enthusiastic, the adjustment area and the scasification of the visor still offer space for detailed improvements. I will submit how the helmet does at warmer temperatures during the season. But if you want to buy a new helmet for the season, you should PECTOR ME-1 Definitely include in his choice. With its five available colors, there is certainly something suitable for everyone. "...
