Based in Germany, Melon  Helmets engineers and manufactures lightweight, protective head fashion with cooling ventilation technology for the active, style-conscious cyclist.

“We are eager to introduce Melon  Helmets to the North American market segment where we believe the brand will be well-positioned within the urban, mountain bike and lifestyle cycling communities,” says COO, Josh Fonner. “Melon Helmets takes innovative, functional and ergonomic design and adapts it for the modern cyclist at a compelling price point unlike any helmet manufacturer within the market.”
