Discover the Embrace Urban UF-1

You drive through the city every day – to work, to a late night snack, to meet friends. Your helmet should be just as uncomplicated as the rest of your equipment: quick to put on, secure to wear, and look good. That's exactly what the new one can do Embrace Urban UF-1.

Our Embrace series is finally complete - and you get a city helmet that is just as well thought out as our proven MTB models.

Made for everyday city life

With the Embrace Urban UF-1, we weren't interested in additional features that look good on the spec sheet. It was about the little things that really count in everyday life.

Removable short visor. Low sun in the morning, wind, occasional drizzle - the visor is there when you need it and gone when you don't. Easily removable without affecting the shape of the helmet.

Inner padding with insect protection. Washable is standard today, of course. But integrated insect protection? Anyone who has ever driven through the park in the evening and suddenly had an insect in their helmet knows why this detail is worth its weight in gold.

Fidlock® magnetic closure. Put it on, close it with one hand, and drive off. The closure clicks securely without pinching any skin. It sounds like a small thing, but it's one of the things you won't want to miss after your first trip.

Six new trend colors for 2026. Matted surfaces, tailored to what is currently rolling through the cities: modern urban bikes, e-scooters, cargo bikes. Restrained, but not boring.

Security from Freiberg am Neckar

We have been making helmets for over 40 years. As a family business, we develop, design and produce at our headquarters in Freiberg am Neckar - in-mold production under one roof. This isn't just an advertising slogan: it means that every helmet that leaves our factory was made there.

At Embrace Urban, we also worked closely with bike dealers and professionals who talk to customers every day. Your feedback was incorporated directly into the helmet.

"Real progress occurs where we question existing solutions and incorporate our partners' feedback directly into development."
— Jonas Japing, Managing Director KED

A helmet family for every ride
