Bollé, world-renowned for their snow sports gear, is a late entrant into the bicycle helmet market. Perhaps motivated by seeing the growth of POC Sports, Bollé has given more attention to their cycling products, and the company’s latest helmet, called The One, aims to do it all.

As the name suggests, The One was designed as a helmet for all types of cycling — Vents? Check. Removable air foils? Check. Removable visor? Check. Winter liner options? Check. Tail light? Check. Sunglass holder? Not just a holder, but a Garage.

We could go on, but you get the picture — The One is a helmet designed for versatility.

Bollé The One Helmet Product Details

The One helmet comes with both a summer and winter liner. Both liners have the same fit, so the helmet will sit on the head the same way, regardless of liner. The One will be available in two sizes: S/M, M/L, with the S/M weighing in at 280g.

Bollé plans two offer The One helmet at two price points: The One Standard comes with all accessories — integrated LED tail light, interchangeable all-season liners, detachable MTB visor and Sunglass Garage — except aero shield and will cost $140. The One Premium comes with all of the above mentioned accessories, and a detachable aero shield (perfect for inclement weather too!) and will retail at $170.

Bollé also showed off the urban-oriented Messenger helmet, borrowing features from the higher-end The One, including the integrated LED tail light — $99 for the Messenger Standard, $119 for the Messenger Premium helmet that comes with a winter liner.

Helmets will be available early 2016.
