The Wasabi (WG11) Team Ineos Grenadiers Road Cycling Helmet has been engineered to be extremely slippery through the air, second only to Kask's Utopia in wind-tunnel tests, but its key innovation comes via the ability to tailor airflow and aerodynamics to your ride. Aero. Warm. Cool. You Choose The Wasabi Aero tackles heat regulation via an innovative sliding front panel. This lets you maintain low-drag performance as the pace increases or you can boost or restrict airflow as and when needed. Closing the vent keeps your head warmer during colder weather conditions, ideal for winter training and early-season racing. But pop it open when the heat rises and you have more cooling airflow. Even with the sliding panel open, the drag increase is minimal (with a claimed 1-watt drag increase at 50 km/h). But this helmet isn't just about heat regulation and aerodynamics, your comfort and safety are of course key characteristics too. WG11 Safety Test The Wasabi exceeds stringent WG11 testing protocols. This series of scientific-based protocols focus on protection from rotational impact forces, measuring rotational kinematics from both oblique and normal impacts. With these safety protocols adhered to, you can be sure this helmet has you covered should you be unfortunate enough to fall from your bike. Naturally Comfortable Inside the helmet, you'll find pads made with merino wool. These pads are excellent at regulating temperature and wicking away moisture, boosting comfort whatever the weather. And with natural bacterial resistance, itchy scalps and nasty smells are prevented. Kask Octo-Fit The Wasabi uses Kask's super-adjustable Octo-Fit system for a perfect fit every time. A rubberised Micro-Dial adjuster provides easy adjustment with a quick twist. Meanwhile, the floating cradle features contact points and supports designed to oscillate freely through 180°, allowing a secure fit on any shaped head. The Skeletal Brackets of the cradle have been engineered and refined to provide the best fit and support while being as light as possible too.
Strong. Lightweight. Safe. Strong and yet lightweight. Yes, that sums up the Aircraft Composite Helmet nicely. Dig deeper and you'll also find it has all the safety and performance features you need to push your mountain biking to new levels. In order to achieve outstanding protection but without weighing you down, 100% use a Fibreglass Composite shell. Carefully engineered wall thickness achieves superb impact absorption while minimising weight. The fibreglass composite also benefits you in terms of value, keeping the cost to a less eye-watering level. This is while having a very small weight penalty compared to the far more expensive carbon shell lids. A winner. 100% have also endeavoured to ensure your Aircraft helmet is compatible with most neck braces and it also accepts inflatable emergency release systems. If you're pushing your mountain bike riding boundaries then you've got the best protection options available. And Breathe...

The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Feel the Speed While safety is the primary concern, aerodynamic performance has in no way been compromised. The Trenta's tube-shaped tail and internal channelling mean that you benefit from up to 7% less drag than a more traditional road helmet. This is most effective when you're riding in a bunch so when it's time to attack, you'll be the freshest in the bunch. Whilst some aerodynamic designs can feel more closed in, the Trenta has been engineered to keep you cool. Only 30% of the helmet actually touches the head and the front NACA vent and rear deflectors channel air over the head for refreshing airflow when riding. Safe-T Orbital The Trenta also features MET's most adjustable fit system yet. The Safe-T Orbital allows two-step occipital adjustment, four-step vertical adjustment, and a micrometrical dial, all allowing you to fine-tune the fit and ensure your helmet remains secure. Inside, the Air-mesh pads wick away sweat, preventing sweat from running down and stinging the eyes. They're washable too, letting you freshen them up after particularly hot and sweaty rides.

The core of the Trajecta MTB Helmet's protection, both figuratively and literally, is Multi-Density EPS foam. This shock-absorbing centre takes the energies from a head impact and soaks them up to prevent injury. This core is covered by a durable polycarbonate outer, keeping your lid looking good when it's getting almost daily (ab)use. Next comes the 13-point Smartshock® Rotational Protective System. Smartshock® Rotational Protective System While most standard cycle helmets are great at dealing with straight-on impacts, oblique, angular impacts are in fact more likely to occur. These create rotational acceleration and deceleration forces to the head and brain. The Smartshock Rotational System combats those extra forces via a suspension system seamlessly integrated into the helmet. This innovative fully suspended system through compression of direct impacts while elastomers allow inner and outer to move independently of each other. Both features help reduce energy transfer to the brain over a wide range of speed and impact types.
