Love my Protone Icon been excellent.. had lots of Kasks awesome 🤩🚴🏅👍crashed in them to and very glad I had them on
I have the new Giro Eclipse Spherical and this is the best fitting helmet I have ever had on my head. Very compact around the head !!! and very beautiful.
Kask Protone I have for road biking. So popular here in south Florida. Bought a Mojito for gravel riding also. Used to have a Bontrager Aero helmet i forgot the model name back a few years ago. I since retired it and discarded it.
I really like the first one you talked about. Just wish they weren't so expensive.
I have a kask protone and met rivale mips. Despite the mips safety, I ride 90% protone because I feel it has more air cooling design that flowing the air in and out of the helmet at the top. In tropical weather it’s so important
I have a Trenta, its quite aero according to some testing, but mainly its well ventilated, i'm picki on that. But all of this MET's aero helmet is the Manta!
Why HJC is not included as they got their own wind tunnel for the test??
I have the Smith Ignite and I really like it. It is very comfortable. I think it does have a little extra weight, but I don't notice it. I feel the air flowing through it very well. I even wore it in a grandfondo with lots of climbing (about 2,700 meters)and it didn't bother me. I tried Kask and absolutely hate that helmet. It just doesn't work for me.
these are just above my budget 😞
I just upgraded from cheap no-brand helmet to HJC Ibex v1 + Met Strale from BF sales.
So far so good, theyre light tho no mips👌
Met Manta MIPS - why go for the Trenta instead if you're comparing aero lids?
I just got the Evade 3. I definitely made the right choice. More ventilated than Evade 2.
As for the team sponsorships, they only sponsor 3 mens pro teams (QS, Bora and Total Energies) and one womens pro team (SD Worx).
“ Only “ ?
Sweet Protection Falcorner II?
No real independent aero testing. I dunno why it’s so hard to find aero testing data about these aero helmet… wheels? ✅ tires? ✅ bars? ✅ frames? ✅ 🧦 ? ✅ but helmets? Very hard to find
Abus Airbreaker and Gamechanger 2.0
Any verification of OEM claims going on in this list? Tks.
Kask are the best helmets.
I have a Kask Bambino. Your selection does not include TT helmets, which are much more aero. These are used exclusively in mass start track racing. By the way, I assume that you've never heard of Cadomotus, a Dutch brand that makes speed skating equipment. They have an aero skating helmet that can also be used for cycling.
Thank you.
On a 140k ride with 2km of vertical, how much time might an aero road helmet sabe at 150 or 200 watts?
on such a short ride: 150w it gives 0,0001s gain, on 200w even more - around 0,0002s
@@mwsliwinski 140k is short? It took me all day!
Ekoi AR14 is missing
Helmets are all about the same. I just want the best looking lid (purely subjective) and it has to dock my sunglasses in the front of the helmet). My vote is the Lazer G1
Met dont even make the 3K Trenta anymore. No one sells it. You can't find it in a medium. It's never in stock. Get an Abus.
There are all good looking helmets but the MET, do u really want carbon which will shatter when u crash on your head 🤔😅
Met Trenta (Manta is their most aero helmet, but Trenta is supposedly almost as good and has excellent ventilation) and Kask Utopia (their aero lid) for me.
I thought the wasabi was kasks aero helmet?
Spent about 500 miles on it and so far so good. czcams.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA Pros:1. Very light2. Solid quality build3. Fast delivery: It arrived 5 weeks earlier than expected.4. Easy assemblyJust a few cons but nothing major:1. Cheap tin tubes and had flat on first day... but not a big deal. I replaced the tubes.2. Seat is a bit uncomfortable but that's pretty much the same situation with most bikes.3. Seat post is a bit long/high for a smaller size 48 bike - had to saw 2 inch off to fit properly. The lowest setting is too high. The post locking system does not seem to hold well (perhaps because I saw 2 inch off).4. wheels are not tubeless compatible (from what I can tell)
so are the china knockoffs just as "aero" ?....at a fraction of the cost they really are "free speed"😉
As an average rider, I want to see a review for the safest helmet instead 😂
A full face helmet. Too hot? Then you don't want the safest helmet. Ventilation, comfort, aerodynamics all matters to me as an amateur rider.
Football helmets are the safest
Motogp motorcycle helmet
Virginia Tech helmet ratings 👍

But you didn't compare the aerodynamic drag for each of these helmets, and you didn't provide a final summary table showing the drag in grams for thr helmets you reviewed at the end.
Disappointing video gets a thumbs down
Believe it or not, the most aero helmet is still the one worn by Greg Lemond to beat Laurent Fignon in the tour De France! The 'old' 'crap' is still the company's best selling helmet.
What helmet is that?
@@jameswitte5676 The original Air Attack. I think this is false info that they are still making it.
Poc Ventral
$300 Helmet as FREE SPEED lol
Free in this case refers to not having to work any harder....not the financial cost. 🤣🤣But yeah - it's not FREE for sure! That being said a decent road helmet from a known brand is going to cost you $200 - so an extra km/h for $100 isn't a bad trade.
@chrisgilligan4968 Well try adding 10 to 20 watts to your ftp and you might go a kilometer per hour faster
@@jaredfontaine2002 Yes of course....and when you do that, you still have the option to opt for another km/h of additional speed with the helmet....in fact you'd expect that the gains would get larger the faster you were capable of riding.
🥱😴💤
Kask Rapido cost less than $100 and weighs less than 200 grams.
are you kidding? wtf is very fast helmet?
10 watts at 40 kph?
well i want to know how fast is every helmet you mention, not just general 10 watts
what helmet is fastest? is there a helmet that hardly gives you any speed boost? is there data to back this up? is there a credible source?
Yes there is wind tunnel testing. And yes 10w is a significant amount. I think the savings is usually a bit under that though. I've heard it's up to 8w, which is also a lot for just a helmet.
Consider that improvements are also made in many other places (body position, clothing, frame, wheels, front handlebar area)
No helmet. And shave your head. I found that is the best solution for max speed. Of course, the term "playing with one's life" is child's play next to riding this way.
5:13 - Manufacturer A claims that their helmet B is x seconds quicker than their helmet B ... at the same speed. How does the person who says such nonsense aloud in public not be ashamed, quit their job and move to a monastery?! And why do you bother to repeat such nonsense instead of calling it what it is?!
So the tester rode the kask... as usual, this video is so gay 👥
