Pioneering Helmets
Taking performance design to market
Testing a revolutionary quick-release visor system.
Renowned for its innovative helmets, GP’s client was launching a new product range featuring a groundbreaking visor system. The quick-release mechanism, designed for ease of use and adaptability, needed rigorous testing to ensure reliability under real-world conditions.
A bespoke testing rig was required capable of simulating the stresses of daily use, validating the visor’s durability, and ensuring it exceeded industry safety standards.
Engineered Precision for Reliable Testing
A custom pneumatic rig simulated accurate real-world conditions.
Bespoke Testing
Generative Parametrics developed a tailored pneumatic test rig that simulated thousands of opening and closing cycles at varying speeds, forces, and conditions, compressing years of use into a fraction of the time.
Testing Under Extreme Conditions
The visor system was subjected to a range of environmental stresses, including high-speed winds, sudden impacts, and temperature fluctuations. This ensured it could withstand harsh riding scenarios while maintaining its functionality and safety.
Insights Through Comprehensive Testing
Every component of the visor system optimised for performance and durability.
Material and Mechanical Validation
Beyond mechanical reliability, material testing evaluated the visor for wear, cracking, and deformation over time. The quick-release mechanism underwent thorough examination to ensure consistent performance, even after extensive use.
Refining the Design
The data collected during testing informed key refinements, enhancing the visor’s usability and reinforcing its durability. This iterative process ensured the client’s product met the highest safety and quality standards.
Driving Innovation Together
A visor system that redefines safety, style, and convenience.
A visor system that riders can trust gave confidence in performance and durability under any conditions. Ensuring safety standards are excelled allows for a successful launch of the new generation of helmet.
