“Ridiculous” An “Eyesore”,

or a cyclist dream for its aerodynamic qualities?

all photographs Visma-Lease a Bike, called the Aerohead 2.0, it is a time trial cycling helmet, it was designed by Dutch professional sports team Visma-Lease a Bike,

the new time trial head gear was designed and developed in collaboration with American company Giro Sport Design and debuted earlier this month, on the first stage of Tirreno-Adriatico,“The appearance is totally different, it’s a new way of thinking about the aero helmet and we really think we have found a big improvement in our whole system in the TTs,” Visma-Lease a Bike said in a statement, “It was incredible working for months on the Aerohead II with Visma to collect data and measurements, pushing the limits of what is possible for a time trial helmet,” said designer Ash Lewish,

as you might imagine the International Cycling Union, the governing body of the sport, has put out a statement announcing that it would carry out an in-depth analysis of the regulations governing the design and use of time trial helmets, Visma-Lease a Bike insists that the Aerohead 2.0 complies with UCI regulations, for myself it looks similar to the headgear downhill skiers use to make themselves more aerodynamic, as it happens in July of last year I made a post about the extremes cyclist would go to, to make themselves aerodynamic.
