So many times when looking at a company s claim you have to ask yourself Is this real or is this just salesman speak? So let us tell you about our technologies and you can make your own decision: A helmet has two essential elements that help protect you: a shell and energy absorbing foam. These two components dissipate the energy of an impact to your head. The shell, or the hard outer surface of a helmet, and has 3 functions. First, it prevents sharp object penetration. Second, it protects the energy absorbing foam from abrasion, and lastly, it spreads out the force of an impact over a greater area. As the second component of the puzzle, the energy absorbing foam is the muscle of a helmet and the more active of the two. The foam does the bulk of the work, cushioning and redirecting the G-forces of any impact making its way towards your head. Standard helmet technology constructs the shell and the energy absorbing foam composite or EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) as two separate pieces. A helmet is typically constructed by shooting small beads into a mold. The shaped EPS is then pulled from the mold and spot glued to taped inside the helmet shell which is molded separately. This means that during an impact there will actually be a gap on the G-force, a micro- second where the energy is transferred between one protective material, the shell, and the next, the EPS foam. The result of this separate-but-glued-construction is a less efficient transfer of energy when a helmet is impacted. Our patented COMPOSITE FUSION TM technology incorporates the EPS foam as an integral part of the shell. With this technology, our EPS foam is formed inside the exterior shell meaning no separation in molding. As the small beads expand during the steaming process, they are directly fused with the exterior shell itself (no spot glue or tape is needed). The introduction of COMPOSITE FUSION TM Plus is the next progression of this revolutionary construction. COMPOSITE FUSION TM Plus technology incorporates unique pyramids of different foam densities within the EPS. During impact, as energy is transferred from shell to foam, the unique pyramid shapes collapse first, thereby directing the energy sideways within the foam, instead of linearly down to your head. This spreads the impact load over a greater area, allowing us to use softer density foam next to your head, right where you want it. We look forward to the opportunity of proving that Kali Protectives strives to be the leader in body protection. Testing and retesting is a vital part of our development cycle and we use the data from our test labs not simply to pass safety checks, but to develop and refine our products. We also rely on a dedicated team of riders who put our gear through the harshest real world conditions. Our company is made of riders; this is a never-ending process that we are all passionate about. - Brad Waldron, David Assyag, & Mike Wilson Founders
Patented Composite Fusion TM technology incorporates the energy absorbing EPS foam as an integral part of the shell. Our EPS foam is formed inside the exterior shell and not in a separate mold. As the small EPS beads expand during the steaming process, they are directly fused with the exterior shell itself (no spot glue or tape needed). This is important because now, without a gap or requiring a third party bonding agent, the impact energy can be transferred to the EPS foam more efficiently, allowing for a stronger materials connection. Taking Composite Fusion TM technology a step further, Kali s Composite Fusion Plus TM technology has the same super tight connection but also incorporates a special impact foam design. Using geometric shapes of different density inside the foam, the Composite Fusion Plus design further helps dissipate the shock forces as they travel through the foam. Traditional construction The way in which a composite helmet absorbs the energy of an impact is much more fluid than a traditional helmet. The smooth curve provides constant impact dissipation though the super tight shell/foam connection, reducing energy spikes.

SUPERVENT technology is born of the commitment to provide ventilation while minimizing structural weakness. A special skeletal material reinforces the design of key vents to provide additional reinforcement in the case of an impact. This allows large, super functional airflow will minimizing risk of penetration during impact. The DUAL CLOSURE System allows a simple and efficient dual-sided closure adjustment at the rear of the helmet. This closure system is featured on the MARAKA, the AVANA and the AVITA. The BUMPER FIT System assures a secure fit with special pads designed of an absorbent cross-linked polymer material. These materials are designed to both secure the helmet s fit while also adding shock absorbing properties in the event of an impact.
KALI KILLER The MARAKA Helmet introduces patented COMPOSITE FUSION PLUS technology into the high speed Cross Country Racing category. In addition to placing geometric shapes of softer foam next to the rider s head, the MARAKA also introduces SUPERVENT technology. SUPERVENT technology provides a critical reinforcement to each helmet s venting structure in case of impact. Lastly, the incorporation of the BUMPER FIT SYSTEM assures a more precise fit. Through the use of padding designed of an absorbent cross-linked polymer material, this system both holds your head in place as well as absorbs shock on impact. Weighing in at just over 250 grams, the MARAKA helmet provides the new reference in full-featured, lightweight cross-country cycling helmets designed specifically for the type of impacts cyclists encounter with higher speeds.
