Unit 1

Unit 1 was founded in 2017 to build safety products for sport, and found its subject in the helmet: gear that combines design and technology into something riders actually want to wear. The company is now a distributed team of designers, engineers and storytellers across the US, Europe, Latin America and Asia, registered in Miami, Florida.

The Faro smart helmet, its first product in urban mobility, won a Red Dot and an iF Gold award in 2022; Aura followed in 2024 with a full ecosystem around it, then Neon for everyday riders and Sparky for children. Partnerships with Stromer and with Bosch eBike Systems, whose Live Data Interface Unit 1 was first to integrate, keep pushing the idea of active safety.
