Hey Lumos community!

It has been over 4 long years since we've launched a new integrated helmet, so I'm super excited to be able to share this with you.

Everyone, meet the newest helmet from Lumos - Nyxel.

Nyxel combines safety, style, and smart technology like never before. Stick around until the end of this article to find out how YOU can help shape Nyxel and even stand a chance to win one for free!

Beautiful, Sleek Design

With Nyxel, we set out to create a helmet that’s not only stunning to look at, but also incredibly effective in keeping you protected.

We wanted something elegant and modern, with clean lines and a minimalist feel that still packs all the high-tech features we know you’ve come to expect from us.

Every curve, every surface was carefully considered. We didn’t want any unnecessary bulk—everything has a purpose. From the smooth integration of the lights to the way the helmet sits perfectly on your head.

Our goal was to create a helmet that you’d feel good wearing. Not just because it keeps you safe (which it does, incredibly well), but because you feel good every time you put it on.

But Nyxel is more than just good looks. I’ll be diving into some of the smart technology we’ve packed into this beauty, from integrated lighting to signals, all designed to keep you safe and visible wherever you ride.

Elegantly integrated lighting

You already know that visibility is at the heart of everything we do at Lumos. From day one, we’ve integrated front and back lights and turn signals into our helmets to ensure that riders are as safe and visible as possible.

With Nyxel, we’ve refined and improved the light integration even more, by blending it seamlessly into the brim of the helmet, enabling us to integrate our lighting without disrupting Nyxel's clean design.

When the lights are off, you'd barely know that they are there. 

But when they're on, you can't miss it.

These lights don’t just look good—they make sure you’re seen from every angle. By following the curve of the helmet, the front and back lights naturally offer full 360 degree visibility.

Turn Signals – An Improved Classic

And then, of course, there are turn signals. We know you love them!

Using the same intuitive system, you can activate left and right turn signals with just a tap, allowing you to signal your direction clearly to everyone around you. Whether you’re commuting through busy city streets or taking a casual weekend ride, these signals give you the confidence to move safely and predictably through traffic.

And thanks to the nature of Nyxel's design, Nyxel is able to provide turn signals on both the back AND the front of the helmet, ensuring that everyone behind as well as on-coming traffic knows your intentions.

Unique Artwork & Colors

If you were with us for our Kickstarter campaign for our Ultra helmet, you might remember a little thing called "Hues-Day Tuesday". A weekly contest where backers of the campaign got to vote on which new colors Ultra would be made in production.

With Nyxel, we really wanted to do something special for our loyal backers. We know that many of YOU (yes, YOU!!) have followed us over the years to support us in our product launches.

So for this new launch, we saw an opportunity to take Hues-Day Tuesday to a whole new level. We worked with a few really talented artists, and made a bunch of really special custom and unique designs. 

Note: These designs are not finalized yet.

Each design was custom made for Nyxel. These limited-edition designs will ONLY be available to backers of our launch, making them a true collector’s item. Once they’re gone, they won’t be coming back, so this is your chance to own a truly unique piece of Lumos history.

We'll also be doing a "regular" Hues-Day Tuesday, featuring colors that range from sleek, minimalist shades to bold, attention-grabbing hues. 

Only a few of these designs and colors can be made however! Which ones? YOU will decide!

Check out the full range of designs and let us know which ones you like! 

More feature unveilings coming up!

There are even more exciting "firsts" that we're doing with Nyxel that we've been working on behind the scenes. For now, let's just saw that it is not just a "first" for Lumos, but a first for the industry as well.

I'll be writing more blog posts in the coming weeks as we march Nyxel towards launch (launch date to be unveiled soon!)
