The very young company Gamel Helmets seeks to bring a new intelligent solution in the world of bicycle helmets: the Remarquable, of its name, is thus equipped with a brake light… and indicators to be activated via a simple nod of the head .
The bicycle and electric bicycle market is closely linked to the accessories market. The more muscle cycles and e-bikes sold, the more likely it is that helmets, smartphone holders, GPS trackers, locks or lights will sell out in large numbers. Above all, the current dynamic tends to push us to equip ourselves well.
Indeed, the proliferation of new users sometimes congests cycle paths and makes traffic relatively dense. Protecting yourself well can quickly become obvious to many of you. To do this, wearing a helmet becomes the most natural reflex possible.
A unique system
And among the new solutions available on the market, let’s mention the Remarquable, imagined by the young shoot Gamel Helmets. Founded by Romain de Bascher (former motorcycle helmet professional) and Maxime Guiot, this company aims to provide an alternative that is new, innovative and practical.
The added value of the Remarquable is held in two points: the rear edging acting as a light signature accommodates both a brake light and intelligent indicators. The brake light is naturally managed via an accelerometer. Brake, and the headlight intensifies to signal your braking phase to users behind you.

The indicators benefit from a rather unique operation: all you have to do is nod your head to the right or to the left to activate the corresponding indicator. A sound sounds at the same time to warn you that the turn signal is indeed active, before going out following eight seconds.
Three Modes
The advantage is that no remote control is necessary to manage all of these options: you keep both hands on the handlebars, whatever happens. The helmet can also be used with a bicycle, an electric scooter, a unicycle or rollerblades. At the front, another edging also improves your visibility to users arriving in front of you.
The Remarquable has a small rear interface with various buttons: ignition button, mode selection button, a battery indicator (up to 10 hours of battery life) and a magnetic connector compatible with a USB cable supplied with series.
A total of three modes are available: a daytime running light, a nighttime running light and a flashing nighttime running light, which can be useful when overall visibility is poor. In its press release sent to the editorial staff, Gamel Helmets indicates an IP55 certification: it is therefore protected once morest dust and water splashes – it can therefore be worn in the rain.
Price and availability of Gamel Helmets Remarkable
Weighing 360 grams, the Remarkable is finally decked out with a Fidlock magnetic attachment loop, the same found on the Cosmo Fusion that we tested. This system is really practical in everyday life.
To get started, Gamel Helmets will offer itself a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, open from May 1, 2023. Available in 4 colors (Cream, Blue, Black and Khaki), the Remarkable will be available at a price of 159 euros for the occasion, once morest 249 euros in normal times.
