Road Helmets

Kask has a reputation for superb fit, there’s just enough padding in the right places and the superb shape suits a wide range of heads.

The almost-total coverage from the moulded-in external shell leaves almost nothing susceptible to transit or riding damage, and Kask’s excellent cantilevered rear cradle design with slimmer rubber pads works for every head shape.

A host of small vents give a consistently even breeze throughout, with large vertical rear vents drawing cooling air through effectively, making the Mojito feel lighter than it is – which is a bonus on lengthy rides.

Time Trial Helmets

Stubby tailed helmets such as the Bambino Pro, based on a UK Sport design, has been used successfully. But if you go back 20 years you’ll notice that top time triallists were using short tailed aero helmets to good effect. In the intervening years, longer tailed helmets have become more fashionable

The logic behind it is that it can cope with all manner of wind directions without a significant aero penalty in any particular direction. So while it might not be as quick as a teardrop helmet when the wind’s coming at you front on, it will be better in a crosswind. That’s the theory, anyway.
