Unit 1 Faro bike helmet review: Get smart for the commute

For those who make their way to and from work, school, or just generally navigate through cities all over the world by bike, safety is a big concern. Part of that is both lighting and helmets, and the Unit 1 Faro helmet attempts to solve both of those concerns in a single product.

The Bontrager Circuit helmet is an intriguing option because of its ability to seamlessly transition from weekend fun to weekday commute duties. It’s great if that’s your need but not everyone does. If you are looking for a purely urban helmet that mixes in smart features, the Unit 1 Faro is an option that’s shown up lately challenging the more established options.

Given how much we like the idea of using smart technology to increase safety, it caught our eye. Now that we’ve had a chance to spend some time with it, we are ready to discuss the details. If you are looking for a smart urban helmet keep reading to see if the Unit 1 Faro is the right choice for you.
