AVIP stands for Attention, Visibility, Interaction and Protection developed by POC as part of a wider aspiration to improve the safety and reduce risks for road cyclists including; researching and studying perception, visibility, color and contrast, communication, psychology, digital technology, aerodynamics and more. This project has produced some striking product design – take a glance down the pro peloton and tell me who’s helmets stand out the most.
