NEW CANYON HEADS-UP DISPLAY HELMET COULD BE A SAFETY GAMECHANGER FOR ROAD RIDING
With its drop-down visor and connection to on-bike AI safety systems, head protection just stepped up a gear.
Performance and safety information with an audio and haptic communication system allows you to receive warnings before you see them.
Embargoed until 16:00 CEST, Thursday 18 June 2026: Complementing the futuristic Canyon Predict bike technology but also operating as a stand-alone device, Canyon’s prototype Stingr Smart helmet offers a glimpse into the future of how wearable tech can make a significant impact on rider safety and performance.
As part of a breakthrough Canyon Predict intelligent safety and performance system, the Stingr Smart helmet helps you see what you don’t see. Data visualisations such as road hazards, the behaviour of other road users, group-ride dynamics, and advice on riding behaviour can be displayed on the helmet’s heads-up display (HUD) which sits on the inside of a retractable helmet visor.
Data visualizations are primarily projected into the rider's peripheral vision, to minimize cognitive load and keep the user's primary focus squarely on the road ahead. Any alerts are designed to escalate in scale, including both customisable haptic sensations and warnings appearing centrally on screen.
Together with the prototype Canyon Predict bike, this helmet innovation reinforces Canyon’s long-term commitment to performance, safety and digital integration.
Moreover, at Eurobike, taking place in Frankfurt between June 24-27, Canyon will explain how and when the Stingr Smart helmet and the wider Canyon Predict innovation can soon become commonplace on our streets.
