Portland, OR, August 22, 2011 – Inspired by Nutcase fans who love our graphic designs but want the features of a modern lightweight bicycle helmet, Nutcase introduces the Metroride, a streamlined, retro-inspired helmet designed for daily commuting that is equal parts style, comfort and protection.
Available in nine tasty graphic designs including American Dream, Speed Stripe and City Dots, as well as six solid colors including Spartan Blue, Dutch Orange, and Sublime, the new Metroride features the Nutcase magnetic anti-pinch buckle for easy one handed operation, no-twist rope straps and the Nutcase spin dial system for a comfortable fit.
“Road helmet designs have become a little like alien technology or art sculptures,” says Michael Morrow, president, Nutcase, Inc. “Not everyone wants to look like they’re in the tour de france when they are simply on their way to the office, to the store, or even just on a nice ride in the country. The Metroride is all about combining simple, classic design with modern performance features such as our anti-pinch magnetic buckle, removable visor and 360º reflectivity.”
“We believe the Metroride will be a perfect helmet for daily commuters, urban riders, touring cyclists and bicycle nuts of all kinds who enjoy wearing a helmet that is fresh and simple”, said Morrow.
Designed & engineered with double in-mold PC shells over an EPS hard foam liner for shock absorption, the Metroride also comes with moisture wicking soft foam pads and features the Nutcase “Helmet Guy” icon and “I Love My Brain” tagline on the rear.
Nutcase Metroride will be confirmed for release in Australia in the second half of 2012. Media and other enquiries email: chief@nutcasehelmets.com.au

The helmets has click-in earflaps and a neck warmer for seasonal conversion.
The 360° will developed to have a triple-certification for summer, winter and mountain sport uses. Although not yet in production, the helmet will be developed to meet, for example, European EN CE-1078, EN CE-1077 and EN CE-12492 standards. Further development for US and other markets will follow.
The 360° concept will mean that customers only need to make simple adjustments to turn a summer helmet used for cycling or rollerblading into a winter sports helmet for skiing or snow-boarding.
