At its peak, Schwinn accounted for 20 percent of the U.S. bicycle market. However, due to poor management, the company declared bankruptcy in 1992 and changed hands several times before being acquired by the Canadian company Dorel Industries in 2004.
 
Schwinn has a wide range of products in the bicycle sector, and the main feature of the brand is its cost-effective price. Although Schwinn's helmet products are not top-of-the-line, they are all strong and durable thanks to years of experience. In the evaluation of the American "Consumer Reports", the safety rating of Schwinn helmets is above good, compared with its general price of less than 30 US dollars, it is very cost-effective, and it is very suitable for car enthusiasts who are ready to get started.
 
The Flash and Thrasher models have received 3-star Good ratings in the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab, and the safety is good, and the most recommended is the Flash, which not only has the ventilation, wearability and ease of use of the "Consumer Reports" in the United States, but also is considered to be a helmet with no obvious defects, and the price is as low as $10, making it the king of Schwinn's cost performance. Compared to the Flash, one of the major features of the Thrasher is that it is suitable for a wider range of people, its head circumference size can cover children, teenagers and adults, both cycling helmets can be equipped with lights, and the Thrasher also has a detachable brim, which can be purchased by users who need it.
 
The Intercept and Breeze also come with a detachable brim, but each has its own strengths. The Breeze helmet has 21 vents, which is breathable but not as safe as the Intercept, and the Breeze is difficult to adjust. Although the safety of the Intercept has received the highest rating from American consumers, it has also received the worst evaluation of ventilation performance from Consumer Reports in the United States due to its unreasonable air duct design and poor air permeability.
