So many times when looking at a companys claim you have to ask yourself Is this real
or is this just salesman speak? So let us tell you about our technologies and you can
make your own decision:
A helmet has two essential elements that help protect you: a shell and energy absorbing
foam. These two components dissipate the energy of an impact to your head. The shell,
or the hard outer surface of a helmet, and has 3 functions. First, it prevents sharp object
penetration. Second, it protects the energy absorbing foam from abrasion, and lastly, it
spreads out the force of an impact over a greater area.
As the second component of the puzzle, the energy absorbing foam is the muscle of a
helmet and the more active of the two. The foam does the bulk of the work, cushioning
and redirecting the G-forces of any impact making its way towards your head.
Standard helmet technology constructs the shell and the energy absorbing foam composite or EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) as two separate pieces. A helmet is typically
constructed by shooting small beads into a mold. The shaped EPS is then pulled from
the mold and spot glued to taped inside the helmet shell which is molded separately.
This means that during an impact there will actually be a gap on the G-force, a microsecond where the energy is transferred between one protective material, the shell, and
the next, the EPS foam. The result of this separate-but-glued-construction is a less efficient transfer of energy when a helmet is impacted.
Our patented COMPOSITE FUSION technology incorporates the EPS foam as an integral
part of the shell. With this technology, our EPS foam is formed inside the exterior shell
meaning no separation in molding. As the small beads expand during the steaming process,
they are directly fused with the exterior shell itself (no spot glue or tape is needed).
The introduction of COMPOSITE FUSION Plus is the next progression of this revolutionary construction. COMPOSITE FUSION Plus technology incorporates unique pyramids
of different foam densities within the EPS. During impact, as energy is transferred from
shell to foam, the unique pyramid shapes collapse first, thereby directing the energy
sideways within the foam, instead of linearly down to your head. This spreads the
impact load over a greater area, allowing us to use softer density foam next to your head,
right where you want it.
We look forward to the opportunity of proving that Kali Protectives strives to be the
leader in body protection. Testing and retesting is a vital part of our development cycle
and we use the data from our test labs not simply to pass safety checks, but to develop
and refine our products. We also rely on a dedicated team of riders who put our gear
through the harshest real world conditions. Our company is made of riders; this is a
never-ending process that we are all passionate about.

Patented Composite FusionTM technology incorporates the energy absorbing EPS foam as an
integral part of the shell. Our EPS foam is formed inside the exterior shell and not in a separate
mold. As the small EPS beads expand during the steaming process, they are directly fused with
the exterior shell itself (no spot glue or tape needed).
This is important because now, without a gap or requiring a third party bonding agent, the impact energy can be transferred to the EPS foam more efficiently, allowing for a stronger materials
connection.
Taking Composite FusionTM technology a step further, Kalis Composite FusionTM Plus technology has the same super tight connection but also incorporates a special impact foam design.
Using geometric shapes of different density inside the foam, the Composite Fusion Plus design
further helps dissipate the shock forces as they travel through the foam.

Traditional construction

The way in which a composite helmet absorbs the energy

of an impact is much more fluid than a traditional helmet.
The smooth curve provides constant impact dissipation though
the super tight shell/foam connection, reducing energy spikes.

together with a synthetic plastic or
resin, giving the resulting composite (mix) a low fiber density, high
modulus (absolute value) and very
high strengh-to-weight ratio.

SUPERVENT technology provides reinforced a super-structure to critical

airflow vents. SUPERVENT technology is born of the commitment to provide ventilation while minimizing structural weakness.
A special skeletal material reinforces the design of key vents to provide
additional reinforcement in the case of an impact. This allows large, super
functional airflow will minimizing risk of penetration during impact.
The DUAL CLOSURE System allows a simple and efficient dual-sided closure
adjustment at the rear of the helmet. This closure system is featured on the
MARAKA, the AVANA and the AVITA.

The BUMPER FIT System assures a secure fit with special pads designed
of an absorbent cross-linked polymer material. These materials are designed to both secure the helmets fit while also adding shock absorbing properties in the event of an impact.

Product Description:
The MARAKA Helmet introduces patented COMPOSITE FUSION PLUS technology into the high speed
Cross Country racing category. In addition to these geometric shapes of softer foam next to the riders head,
the MARAKA also introduces SUPERVENT technology, providing a critical reinforcement to each
helmets venting structure in case of helmet impact. Lastly, the introduction of the BUMPER FIT SYSTEM
assures a precise fit with
special pads designed of an absorbent cross-linked polymer material to both hold your head in place as well
as
absorb shock on impacts.
Weighing in at just 300 grams, the MARAKA helmet provides the new reference in full-featured,
lightweight cross-country cycling helmets designed specifically for the type of impacts cyclists encounter
with higher speeds.
