Bontrager’s New Helmet Technology Provokes Discussion Over Test Protocols

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - The launch of Trek and Bontrager helmets featuring the licensed WaveCel technology is creating lots of discussions among helmet brands. According to Trek, “The WaveCel technology is up to 48 times more effective at preventing concussions than a regular EPS helmet.” This claim not only provokes discussions, but Swedish MIPS subjected the new WaveCel helmet technology to their tests, with results far below WaveCel’s substantial claims of injury prevention.
