“KAV is proud to introduce the Nova helmet, featuring our innovative Hex Honeycomb Structure 2™. This helmet not only breaks new ground in impact protection but also personalization in sports equipment, offering fully custom fits and designs for every athlete.” – KAV Helmets
“Crafted using precision 3D printing and the advanced KAV PolyCarbon Composite™, the Nova helmet introduces a dual-density configuration. Each hexagon in the honeycomb allows the outer layer to act independently from the softer inner layer during a crash, enabling controlled absorption of rotational forces. This unique design in 3D printing layer stacking enhances the helmet’s defense against direct impacts and reduces weight by 20% over previous generations.”
Crafted without Limits
“With our new Color Exploration design platform and KAV Fit App, athletes can now personalize their helmets like never before. The KAV Fit App, captures 18 facial features using 2 image dimensions per photo across 3 images, totaling 108 measurements to ensure a perfect fit. Create your signature helmet with 400K unique color combinations and a truly perfect fit today.”
Precision 3D Printing & Superior Performance
“Utilizing 6th Generation 3D printers, the Nova helmet boasts an improved exterior finish and polish, dedicating over 110+ hours per helmet. This meticulous custom process not only enhances the helmet’s aesthetics but also its performance, reducing drag by reducing offsets by up to 20% compared to off the shelf helmets. This boosts aerodynamics by 7%, saving athletes 5-7 watts and shaving off up to 90 seconds over 60 km at 35 kph.”
Advanced Cooling Design & Effective Sweat Management
“KAV’s proprietary PolyCarbon Composite™ material surpasses traditional EPS foam, offering 8 times better heat wicking and twice as fast cooling. Its Open Cell structure efficiently dissipates heat, while the helmet’s design diverts sweat and maximizes airflow for unparalleled comfort.”
Exception Impact Protection
“Awarded a Virginia Tech Five Star Safety Rating, the Nova helmet’s 3D printed Hex Honeycomb Structure 2™ features a dynamic midline that enables the distinct halves to respond independently during crashes, optimizing energy absorption and significantly reducing the risk of injury. This crumple-zone design is optimized for both rotational and linear forces, eliminating the need for MIPS or extra layers found in traditional helmets.”
