Since FARO is so deeply customizable, it actually depends on what settings you chose. A battery-saving mode with flashing lights can give you 10 hours of riding time whilst an all-out max intensity setting can give you 3. You decide based on your riding style and on how often you want to charge it! (via a USB-C port, naturally).

How Does Faro helmet Work?
Powerful Front And Rear Lights
With the 500 lumens lights, the Faro helmet keeps the surroundings as bright as possible in front of you. Regardless of the weather, you can always see a clear view of what’s happening around you. No more hazards will haunt you on a gloomy day.
Fall Detection Sensors
Accidents are unpredictable, but the aftermath is manageable if you have this helmet on. The fall detection system lets specific people know about any falls via SMS with the included location so you can save yourself right in time.
Automatic Brake Lights
Emergencies always come unannounced, but with this helmet, you can predict them. The automatic brake lights get activated so you can alert the vehicles behind you while you are pressing a sudden brake. It flashes to make the drivers notice the situation and halt in place.
IPX-6 Waterproofing
The waterproofing system is a true blessing with its high-pressure resistance. You can manage heavy sprays of water with the IPX-6. No worries about getting drenched and ruining the day when you have this helmet in your hands.

Stay Visible
80% of riders use cycling lights and still don’t feel safe. Why? Because they’re small and sit quite low. On top of that, they are easily lost, forgotten or even stolen.
FARO has powerful front & real lights to ensure you get noticed. They are bigger, much higher and more visible than regular cycling lights.
Let drivers and other riders see you clearly.
In-built led panel
FARO’s back side features a fabric-covered portion. 40 LEDs hidden beneath the fabric for an extra punch in unique patterns, colour control and full customisation.
Signal with a handle bar remote. Automatic brake lights to come on when you stop. How cool is that! (Both are optional add-ons)
IPX6 Waterproof
Electronics are fully sealed. External fabric is fully waterproof, tough & tear-proof – the same materials used on bluetooth speakers that you can throw into the pool.
Weather-specific light behaviours make you even more visible when it rains.
Unit 1 Faro App
There is a great degree of functionality in the app that will let you personalize your helmet in every way and even measure & track what your riding does for the environment (as opposed to driving).
Why would you choose?
Uniquely Built
The mechanism is unique to keep you ahead of time and trouble. You will love its smart technology and support while riding the bike. Have no second thoughts on the quality, as it can always provide maximized protection.
Perfect Fit
The helmet is uniquely built to provide the greatest support to your head. No matter how often you move your head or how fast you are going, it won’t move from its place a bit. With the outstanding mechanism, you will always have the upper hand.
Mips System
The MIPS uses a smart slip-plane system inside the helmet that supports your brain’s protection system. Thus, it can manage the energy transferred to or from your head smartly. No worries about unwanted situations anymore.
Minimize The Consequences
Accidents are unpredictable, but you can always have access to your close ones while going through an emergency with this helmet. It supports you in sending everything happening during any mishap through a text to your selected contacts with your location to minimize the consequences.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the battery last?
How heavy is it?
FARO weighs 580g (that’s for the Medium size, non-Mips version). The Mips system adds about 12 grams. Whilst this can sound heavy, we’ve done a great job distributing the weight throughout the helmet, this makes it much easier to handle and vastly improves the feeling on the head.
What the heck is Mips?
The Mips Safety System is a low friction liner that is installed between the rider’s head and the inside of the helmet (not impacting the fit at all). It allows the helmet to rotate slightly during a rotational impact - which are the most common kind - absorbing extra energy and increasing protection to your brain.
Is it well ventilated? Doesn't look like it.
Well, thank you! We designed the ventilation system to be low profile so it didn’t ruin the clean look: there’s 2 hidden front intakes (just above your eyes) that suck cool air in as you ride. Inside the helmet, they are connected through cooling channels to a pair of big vents on the top and a large vent on the back - this creates front-to-back airflow, keeping your head cool as you ride.
