This new brand has developed a motorcycle helmet with a patented and advanced filtration system, the Breath Safe System, which protects the rider against air pollution and allergies.
With a focus on sustainability and health, the new company launches a product that not only takes care of the health of the motorcycle user, but also represents a milestone in safety thanks to innovative shock absorption technology, an active rear light and intelligent connectivity, which monitors the status of the helmet and the user in real time through an APP.
The founders of this evolution are the French engineer Tanguy Uzel and Guzmán Colilla, founder of The Crown Creators, a leading marketing agency in the world of motor sports. Together they have created ZYON Helmets with the aim of revolutionizing the motorcycle helmet market.
The company aims to begin distribution by the end of 2025 globally. Currently, the company is in the closing phase of its second round of financing, after a successful first round in 2023 that was allocated to product development.
The idea arose from one of its founders, the industrial engineer Tanguy Uzel, who was passionate about motorcycles and who suffered daily the effects of pollution while traveling. Furthermore, he noticed the lack of innovation in motorcycle helmets and decided to join the brand’s co-founder, Guzmán Colilla.
Tanguy Uzel, co-founder and CEO of the company. comments on the matter «Air pollution is one of the main causes of death in the world, and the motorcyclist is the most exposed user in cities, traveling without protection on traffic routes and behind other vehicles. In figures, you are up to 100 times more exposed than motorists, who have filters in the cabin. The motorcycle helmet market is a sector that has shown very little dynamism in the last decade in terms of innovation and technology. With the launch of ZYON we intend to take a step forward with a product that not only takes care of the health of users, but is also a pioneer in the safety it provides thanks to its shock absorption technology and intelligent connectivity.
Since its founding, ZYON Helmets was selected by Juan Roig’s incubator, Lanzadera in Valencia and L’Escalator in Paris, incubator of Maurice Lévy, president of Publicis Groupe, providing solid support and visibility in the innovation sector.

Furthermore, in June 2024 the company was awarded for its innovation in safety and health with the AUDI Startup Challenge Award that was held at the prestigious VivaTech event in Paris. In 2023 the company closed its first investment round that allowed it to develop the final product and is currently in the closing phase of its second round of investment.
Regarding its distribution, the helmet is already available for pre-order through its website and it is at the end of 2025 when the official sale of the product is launched on the market.
