L&L Products is proud to announce that its CCubed™ Cooling Effect technology has won the Innovation Award at the Bike Festival Riva del Garda 2026, one of Europe’s most influential cycling events. A high‑caliber jury spent more than two days testing, evaluating, and comparing products before selecting the winners across three categories: Gravel, Sustainability, and Innovation.
The award recognizes the breakthrough performance of the CCubed™ Cooling Effect padding system, featured inside the UVEX Ultimate Surge Carbon MIPS helmet.
Award‑Winning Performance in the UVEX Ultimate Surge Carbon MIPS
The jury specifically recognized the interior padding of the UVEX Ultimate Surge Carbon MIPS helmet — powered by CCubed™ — for invisible from the outside yet impactful cooling performance. This win reinforces CCubed™’s growing presence as an ingredient brand in the sports and outdoor industry.
A New Benchmark in Helmet Comfort
The CCubed™ Cooling Effect is a fiber‑based cushioning system engineered to deliver evaporative cooling during intense riding conditions. Unlike traditional PU or EVA foams that insulate heat, the CCubed™ structure:
- Delivers both airflow and resilience
- Provides cushioning, allows heat to escape, wicks sweat away from the skin, and creates an evaporative cooling effect
- Produces a measurable cooling effect of up to 2°C, according to UVEX testing
A Collaboration Recognized by Experts
“We are honored that the jury at the Bike Festival Riva del Garda recognized the CCubed™ Cooling Effect as a true innovation in cycling comfort,” said Matthias Fuchs, Technology Manager at CCubed™. “This award also highlights the strength of our collaboration with UVEX and reinforces the value CCubed™ brings to high‑performance sports equipment.”
A Growing Track Record of Recognition
This latest award follows CCubed™’s selection as a Top 10 Winner of the ISPO Textrends Award in the Soft Equipment category, further validating the technology’s innovation leadership across multiple markets.
