The Buffalo Bicycling Club is excited to announce our 2024 Vision sponsor, KAV Custom Bike Helmets. KAV is one of the most unique bike helmet companies out there because they are making 3D-printed, custom fit helmets just for you! Costing no more than other competing high-end road helmets, KAV creates for you a completely custom fit by walking you through a fitting and sizing kit, and then making a helmet to fit your exact measurements. Their materials are lighter and stronger than traditional helmets while “delivering unrivaled protection in all directions, eliminating the need for extra layers or the Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) found in traditional helmets.” KAV helmets are very light, aero, and breathable thanks to their design.
KAV Helmets isn’t just partnering with the Buffalo Bicycling Club, though. As a winner of the 2023 43 North Competition, the California-based KAV Helmets will be opening up their new second factory right here in Buffalo in 2024! Not only will they be able to build more helmets for everyone nationwide, but they will be an integral part of our Western New York cycling ecosystem for years to come.
And that’s not all! All 2024 Buffalo Bicycling Club full members will have access to team pricing for these helmets, so you can purchase a custom-made helmet for a discount!. Everyone who registers for one of our BBC Full Membership Categories (Full, Rookie, Rookie+Jersey, and Junior) will get the code for the discounted helmet! In addition, the BBC will be giving away 12 coupons for free helmets during the season!
It is an exciting time in the Buffalo Bicycling Club as we work with other cycling partners to expand our footprint in the community and bring in more riders for group rides, Sunday Series club races, and USA Cycling sanctioned races, and we are excited to have KAV Custom Bike Helmets on board and in our own backyard!
Thank you KAV!
