Bicycle helmets are specifically never ever marketed on "safety", "speed" or anything like that at all. Even any standards information eg CE**** will be an unexplained bullet point, or a footnote. Advertisements and packaging will also never mention this, neither will it be on the manufacturers website product pages. At the most they use "venting", "comfort" or "fit" but never anything to actually suggest the product actually provides protection at any "speed".
