Twiceme Digital Safety Technology Now Available on Select Smith Cycling Helmets
Twicemes NFC-based digital safety technology has been around for a few years now. The Swedish safety brand is known for its scannable NFC chips, which store a users medical information, used in both jobsite safety equipment and some skiing, climbing, and cycling helmets. In addition to medical ID, Twiceme also offers additional features, including location sharing, immobility alerts, and emergency services notifications when used with the free Twiceme app.In the cycling world, weve seen Twiceme integrated most frequently into numerous models of POC road/gravel and mountain bike helmets. Now, Twiceme is expanding its reach in the bike market, with the announcement of integration into four of Smiths popular helmets. The Smith Triad and Trace road/gravel models, along with the Payroll and Forefront 2 mountain bike helmets, are now available with the Twiceme at no additional cost.The Twiceme NFC chip is integrated into the dial of the fit adjustment system.Out with Aleck, In with TwicemeInterestingly, all of these Smith helmet models were previously available in the same black/grey topo colorway with an Aleck crash sensor. The Aleck (formerly Tocsen) crash sensor was originally a stick-on accessory that was modified to fit into the dial of the adjustment harness on the aforementioned Smith helmets. This sensor was intended to alert your emergency contacts in the event of a crash.For whatever reason, Alecks crash sensors no longer appear to be in production, and they are not an option when purchasing any Smith helmets. In its place, quite literally, Smith is now offering all of these helmets with the Twiceme digital safety system.The Twiceme app offers a range of safety features.Twiceme FeaturesTwiceme uses non-battery hardware in the form of a scannable NFC (Near Field Communication) chip.
