Now Reevu is bringing the benefits of its revolutionary rear view technology to the world of motorsports

For the past year Reevu’s rear view technology has taken the Sports and Leisure industry by storm – creating a new benchmark in preventative safety on roads in all five continents around the world.

Now buyers of motorbike helmets can access that same life-saving technology.

From Winter 2003 the amazing Reevu MSX1 motorbike helmet will be available for distribution. Years of development plus leading edge design skills have created a helmet that not only looks cool but also has amazing aerodynamics whilst meeting and exceeding the most rigorous safety and construction standards.

A stunning package that looks great and dramatically increases awareness of traffic conditions behind the motorcyclist due to Reevu’s rear view technology.

It has taken 7 years of intense research and development to perfect the rear view system that is fitted in every Reevu bicycle helmet.

The patented multiple mirror system that is fitted within every Reevu bicycle helmet is a unique achievement of creative thinking and technical excellence. The mirror system is manufactured from a reflective polycarbonate material rather than glass. Unlike glass, this material is almost impossible to break and is lighter, providing additional safety and comfort to the wearer.

Put simply, the system effectively ‘bends’ the light around the shape of the top of the head – all within the moulding of the helmet – to provide a clear view of the road behind.

Early prototypes were met with absolute astonishment. It is so stunningly apparent from the first moment a Reevu helmet is worn that it really will make a huge difference to the safety of cyclists on our roads.

With product development now complete, Reevu is confident that its technology will transform the comfort and safety of cyclists who wear Reevu bicycle helmets.

this is great. an added rear mirror aside from the 2 side mirrors will be of great help. added safety. i know u guys also experience some of the side mirrors on ur bikes are not side enuf to actually see what's behind or on the side of u. you either move ur arms or body or turn ur head around. this is a good invention

Looks good.... but I wonder what'll happen if the car following behind you puts his headlights on high-beam.... Just a thought.

they've invested so much resources in it, in terms of R&D, they'd probably put in some polarization on the lenses or mirrors

I just sent them a message. I want one :D

I think the best part is... little or no vibration to blur the image behind.

Galing!:crazy:

Baka naman po price niyan e pwede nang pambili ng isang motor. :{

Hey!!! I get to see my wife's face throughout the trip.. :D

Marvelous!

It's possible. Tiyaga nalang ako sa old ways (lingon at side mirrors.):)

Sir Frank,

If ever they should respond, could you post their "response" here so that we may also have the option to check out the comfort versus the price of the said helmet...

Thanks:)

Yep I will pass on what I get from them. The big question for me will be how cool is it in a very hot climate?

what about the reading glasses people???/:? is there a built -in diopter adjuster? :{

The Reevu MSX1 will be initially priced at 280 UK Pounds or approximately Php26T w/out shipping and taxes. Landed cost of the helmet will be around Php32T. Any takers? :C

I sent an inquiry to Reevu HQ and got a couple of e-mail replies from their marketing department. Full production will start beginning 1 month from today and international export should be ready by the start of 2004. I was also sent some distributor/dealer application forms if anyone is interested....

That'll be great if she's in a good mood. :D

I just got a reply. They said US$300 - US$400 The duct for the mirrors is also an air duct so air flow should be very good.

No distributors in this region yet.

Anyone remember that at one point there was this baseball cap that comes with a built-in solar powered fan? At first some people thought it was really cool, but it was short-lived and it remained only as a fad. The problem is that, people buy a cap to shield their eyes from the sun, and not because of a small fan attached to it.

So it's the same case here. People buy a helmet to protect their heads from impacts, and not because of a built-in mirror. I think to some extent this type of thing can be considered a form of innovation, but the primary reason for buying a helmet should still be for protection of the head, and not because of a rear-view mirror that comes with it. Surely a mirror cannot protect you from impacts. I think the built-in mirror serves as an added feature only, but the main criteria in buying a helmet should still be the same--which is to choose one that is strong.

At US$300 you can already buy a high-end AGV helmet or an equivalent. So why bother??

Sorry to disagree with you on this aspect because I believe that this helmet equipped with a onboard rearview mirror system is a very good invention. It is far from being one of those fads that you mentioned (cap w/ a fan). The best way to keep from being injured in an accident is to avoid the accident in the first place.
Its quite obvious to all the members here in this forum that the mirror was not designed to protect the rider from impacts. It is what we may consider a form of "Active Safety System" which CAN prevent accidents from happening in the first place. For example...you may easily spot a fast moving truck approaching you from behind thus giving you a few vital seconds to steer the bike away from its path. You might think that this can be also achieved by using the side view mirror of the bike but this rear view system is far superior than the side mirrors and it is safer to use because it gives the rider a complete view from behind and the sides as well.

Buying the helmet because of the mirror? If I can have both the protection of a DOT/Snell certified helmet coupled with an onboard rear view mirror system then wouldnt it be sweet? Reevu wont be able to market that product in the states and in the UK if it doesnt at least pass DOT standards. The price may be a little bit high compared to the helmets that you usually see at motorcycle shops but please remember that the Reevu helmet is a breakthrough product. Breakthrough products are ALWAYS expensive at first because it is the first of its kind. Are you familiar with the Dainese air bag motorcycle jacket/vest? At Php60T it is outrageously expensive for a bike jacket/vest but no other bike jacket manufacturer in the world has a system similar to that of Dainese's so that explains the price. I can also safely say that no other helmet manufacturer in the world, high end AGV models included has a similar on board rear view system. I would gladly trade my helmet for a Reevu helmet any day. Now if they could manage to integrate an onboard communication system....oh well...thats a different story altogether. cheers :)

BTW here is the Dainese Air bag vest/jacket. http://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mcbeware/inflate.html

I would.......If I got the cash for this helmet :D .... I would WANT one :drool: ... its cool, a fad and at the same time protection ..... I love to have toys for bigboys.... and this one toy I definitely like to have .....but ... as I say.... if i have the cash for it.
:)

spdfgtr,
Well of course each of us has our own views on this matter.
But that said I still consider the Reevu helmet a fad. I don't consider a rear view mirror to be an active safety system because you don't need to look at the back view UNLESS you are about to make a turn or change of direction. And those are what the motorcycle side mirrors are for in the first place. You don't have to worry about a truck or bus speeding towards you from behind when you are running straight because drivers aren't blind, and they can see that theres a motorbike infront of them.

There is no need for a rear view mirror. The side mirrors on your bike is already more than enough--or if you don't use sidemirrors like I do, then you can simply turn your head and look behind everytime you want to make a turn or change of lane.

With so much competition in the helmet market, Reevu certainly has to come up with something just to attract consumers. Obviously they can't compete with AGV and the likes head-on without coming up with fads such as "rear-view-mirrors". :D

And as for the Dainese part you mentioned, I have to disagree with you because Dainese is a very popular sports brand. They've won countless world motorcycle grands prix. Their products are performance tested. As for Reevu, I haven't seen their products used in world-class motorcycle grands prix.

Wolver888,
Yeah I guess it's cool. I just don't think that it's necessary. But yeah, I also think that it's a fun toy to have and it will enable you to see people making funny faces of you when you turn your back on them! :D What they don't know is that you CAN SEE what they're doing! :D

Drivers arent blind? Thats the understatement of the year bro. Let me remind you that you are in the Philippines and its a war zone out there most specially out on the streets. Any product that can give you any margin of safety is worth trying out. With the slim profile of a man on a bike its much better and safer to assume a defensive position rather than to think that those moron drivers can always see you. Believe me when I say to you that those moron bus/truck drivers wont give a rats ass if they see you on your SYM Jet right in front of them. Some would even tailgate you dangerously.

This is where it becomes glaringly obvious that you dont understand the safety aspect that this helmet has to offer because you yourself dont use the sidemirrors. You instead prefer to turn your entire head sideways to glance at the oncoming traffic from behind which is downright stupid and dangerous IMO. Sidemirrors are there for a purpose.

Disagree with me on what? I didnt say anything regarding the Dainese brand. I just cited their Air Bag jacket as an example of a breakthrough product similar to that of the Reevu. I have high praises for the Dainese brand because they manufacture good gear. I do own some of their gear as well.

BTW just because you dont see certain brand names used in MotoGP, Isle of Man T/T or AMA Superbike doesnt automatically mean that the brand is inferior to the ones being used at the races. Buells, MV Agusta, Benelli are some of the bikes that you dont see used in competitive racing but their bikes are world class and would certainly kick the ass of some the bikes that you see joining the races. For gear you have Arlen Ness, Vanson, Fieldsheer, Nankai, Firstgear, ICON and the list goes on and on. The brands that you see being used in competitive racing are SPONSORS which means that they spend money so that their gear would be used by a certain team/rider. Just because a company chooses not to join/sponsor/ be involved in competitive racing doesnt mean that their products are downright inferior. Maybe their marketing approach is just different.

Trucks will only be able to tail bikes or cars if the bike/car is pretty slow. Keep in mind that trucks are generally lower in speed because they are not designed for speed--they are designed for cargo. Only slow riders would allow themselves to be stucked with a truck on an open piece of road!

It requires skills. Sometimes it's not the matter of having sidemirrors or not. It's just the issue of "riding skills". ;)

I don't think Reevu is superior to AGV or other brands because if they really are, then they would have already been a very popular brandname by now. Okay, lets just drop the grand prix thingy--but still Reevu is very small company trying hard to make it big. Look, they don't even have a distributor in our region yet!

So being the fastest projectile on the road is your solution to safe riding...good luck bro. It would just be a matter of time.

I am not saying that Reevu is superior to those race reps that you totally adore. I am just impressed on how they managed to put into production an idea that seemed so simple yet so difficult to engineer. I for one would line up for their product.
Small company? Microsoft was once a small company
too...before it devoured the whole world...save for Frank's PC and some other members who use Macs :D
wow...its 2:18 AM. never thought id be having squid for breakfast :>.

nuff said...im outta here.

Rear view mirrors were designed so that the driver doesn't have to look around his shoulders and dangerously taking his eyes off the road, even for a split second.

I remember the time when I was still driving a cage with my side mirrors stolen. I spent half the time looking around my shoulders even when just doing a simple task of changing lanes. For two days, I was both a hazard to myself and to other motorists.

Fad or not, what Reevu is doing is a bold step forward.

I guess there's been a misunderstanding here. I'm not saying that you guys shouldn't use Reevu or anything like that. I was just voicing my thoughts about it, and that's all. As I've said earlier, I do accept the fact that each of us has our own opinions and views regarding things.

I was just saying what I think about it personally and it has got nothing to do with you folks. If you guys wanna use it and think it's cool then I'm happy for you. But as far as I'm concerned I just don't think it's cool. But that's just me. :D

I think this place is a cool medium for us to share our thoughts and opinions--be they negative or possitive. And that's the most important thing--to share each other's thoughts. Of course there will be times when we have varying opinions regarding certain things--but at the end of the day it's just another discussion. And It's just everyone's two cents!

I think you guys are cool and I have no intention of trying to steer up a heat here. I know you guys would understand. :)

Cheers!

My own personal view is that anything that adds to your safety on the chaotic roads here is worth having if you can afford it.

Of course the helmet itself is the number one priority. If its not a good protective helmet then any gadgets are almost worthless.

So assuming the helmet iteself is top class, the mirrors are well worth having. I know someone in the US who was sitting at the lights on a heavy harley when a car bumped her from behind. She spent a few weeks in hospital with some nasty injuries. After that I either ensure I have vehicles stopped behind me at the lights or I keep it in gear and watch my mirrors.

We have buses and trucks here that go down the expressway at 120kph and smash into stopped trucks and buses. If they cant see a bus, its as sure as hell they cant see a bike.

I find in heavy, moving traffic its essential to keep checking your mirrors but looking away to your side mirrors even for a second or two can be enough for something to happen in front that you dont see in time. At the same same concentrating 100% on the forward view could make you vulnerable. I haven't tried the new helmet of course but it seems to me that flicking your eyes between the built in mirror and your forward view is going to be much better than using side mirrors.

My ideal helmet would be DOT/Snell approved, would be very cool and well ventilated, would have the mirror system, would have a built in but detatchable intercom and a removable, washable liner.

Frank Woolf,
I think you guys' views are respectable. :)

And yeah it's really scary when trucks go WILD. The bad thing here in our place is that around 90% of the drivers on the road are brute and undiciplined. Where else can you see cars running on red lights but here??

What's worse is that if you get hit, the driver won't leave you just injured or half-dead. But instead he'll get back at you and ensure that you're dead so that he won't have to pay for your insurance!! I actually knew someone who died like that!

This whole thing is very crude and barbaric if you'd think of it. spdfgtr is right that it's like a battlefield out there on the road everyday!

"Trucks will only be able to tail bikes or cars if the bike/car is pretty slow. Keep in mind that trucks are generally lower in speed because they are not designed for speed--they are designed for cargo."

"And yeah it's really scary when trucks go WILD. The bad thing here in our place is that around 90% of the drivers on the road are brute and undiciplined. Where else can you see cars running on red lights but here??"

-------------------------------------------

Given trucks are INTENDED (they key word) for 'lower speeds", in reality, as much as any idiot (or blind person) can get a driver's license and use EDSA as his personal race track, I'd prefer to have as much protection as I can (or should) afford.

As for this new helmet, I wonder how it would handle the perpetual fogging around here...

Actually, ultimate speed is the ONLY protection possible!

This issue isn't new at all. This issue has already been raised in the automobile world in the past, because there is this sports car manufacturer (Lamborghini I think) that produced a sports car without a rear viewer. Literally it's W/O a rear window, only with side mirrors. So drivers are really having a bad time with it when parking it because they can't see what's at the back!

But the car is proven successful when running on road and on track even without a rear window. As a matter of fact it has become one of the most succesful sports cars in the history or automobiles.

If I still remember correctly, the reason why that car manufacturer came up with a sports car that is without a rear viewer is because of their motto "Everything behind is Ugly!"

The mainstream would have considered something like this totally crazy, but it's real and it's there and accepted by the high-society people. That sports car is a beauty and is a beast when on road! It doesn't need a rear-viewer because it has all the power under the hood! And that's all that matters.

When you speed, it's just you and the road, and nothing else matters!!

But of course you can believe otherwise if you choose to. :)

The only slight problem I can see with that helmet is when you get used to it and heppen to use a the regular helmet, I think there will be a big difference....... and vice versa. :)

Not really bro, there are some overseas too. I've watched some on TV. Documentary programs. One place for example given by my uncle is in Pennsylvania. :D There are lots of SUVs who beats the read light, late signalling, cutting ..... lots of it. :D

I have been rammed in the back twice while waiting at lights. Once in UK and once in Hong Kong. Luckily in both cases I was in a car. The first one in UK was an old car coming down a hill and his brakes failed. The second was a van. There was plenty of traffic and visibility so he probably was just not concentrating.

I thought the rear engine Lamborghini had a TV rear view system. One thing I dislike about my CRV is that the rear view using the internal mirror is not good at all with all the head rests and blind spots. This same mirror system going over the roof would be great:D

Good point on switching helmets. Once you get used to the internal mirrors it could be hard to go back to side mirrors only.

I'd have to disagree with you on that. That's the way to have you head cracked open.

Even if you do have "expert" driving skills, this won't ensure safety. Its been said that generally, you only control 10% of the circumstances, the other 90% is uncontrollabe. Take the example of my dad.

My dad has been riding for 25 years. I could say that he's an excellent rider. One day, he was riding his bike along edsa to go to camp crame. knowing Edsa, it gets congested at Cubao. So the traffic slowed down to a stop. My dad also stopped. 5 seconds later, an FX (taxi) hit my dad's bike hard! My dad went flying and landed on his head. (he was wearing a helmet). You know why the FX hit him? The idiot was changing stations on his radio and wasn't looking at the road! :angry:

Now, tell me, did his skills save him from being hit? Sadly, no. :( I wish it really worked that way. :)

Speeding would only get you killed... maimed at best.

To summarize, bale wala ang galing natin kung may tanga at tonto lang pala na babangga sa atin.

2 cents lang po. :)

Talaga lang ha? :rolleyes:

Do you happen to remember which particular Lamborghini that was? I don't recall any recent Lambo without a rear window. The 350GT, 400GT, Islero/S, Espada, Jarama/S, Miura/S/SV, Urraco, Countach/LP/S, Diablo/S/SV/VT, and even the latest Murcielago all have some sort of rear window on them albeit just a minute porthole to peek out through. But I digress....

Burnout,

Nothing personal here but I find your logic in driving/riding so flawed that I think that if you drive/ride consistent with your arguments presented in this thread, then you can be a hazard on the road.

Sir Supok,

Just read your profile which stated that you are a "very humbleman". You were kidding, right? :>

Just teasin'... :I

Just curious, will this not affect you if driving at night and a headlight is beamed right at you from the rear? Could you control the glare (like in the cage mirrors, you can tilt it so soften the light). With side mirrors, you can either move forward or back a bit so you can avoid the rear headlight reflecting towards your face.

Just some thoughts here.

Probably just tipping your head foreward a bit might be the answer. I guess it depends on how wide angle the view is top to bottom but if its not quite wide it would mean you have to hold your head at the correct angle to see behind. There is a lot of difference in head position between sport bikes and cruisers so this could be a problem.
