Could you do a similar showdown with the sworks vs rsl shoes ?

[@BrotherMichigan]

One thing that wasn't touched on here that could be important for some people is head shape. I have a really long oval head and not a single Trek or Specialized helmet I've tried fits me well; they're all too short front to back, which leads to discomfort and hot spots on long rides. I ended up in a cheap Smith helmet because it was the most comfortable option.

[@johnmaegerlein5927]

Will you crash test them next time

[@shanemayers8498]

the trek ballista is my favorite helmet by far when u put it on just make sure the straps are behind the retention system never have any problems

[@UltimateTuner10]

I really like my Velocis. Got the size small from the UK and it’s only 220g due to different safety spec compared to US

[@bicyclestation]

Yea its crazy how much better UK helmets are lol.

I've been running the Specialized Tactic for a good while. Love the sunglasses storage, and the decent neck protection. But it is fairly heavy, so as the proud Swede I am, I am now running the POC Ventral air. Absolutely love their stuff. Not sure if you guys have much POC in the us, but thats the only stuff I wear clothing wise. Expensive, but so good.

[@bicyclestation]

I have that same helmet. It’s really good. I think it’s on par with all the options in this video

[@DEXVD]

Try to see if you can find a testing difference between aero helmets or non-aero vs aero helmets. POC says the new Procean is 5 watts faster than the Ventral at 30 km/h, 20 watts faster at 60 km/h. So I'm kind of leaning towards the idea that the aero difference would be undetectable between aero helmets and maybe not even detectable between aero and non-aero helmets in real world conditions.

[@WBoyle3]

Do the same video but with the new specialized helmets! Loma, Search, Propero.... Cant find any reviews of the two cheaper ones everyone, y'all would have the market cornered

[@rolffuchs2737]

And the new Specialized Propero is really good!

[@rolffuchs2737]

Have the same problem with the trek helmet - it always comes out.

[@mfa81]

Giro Aries or Kask Elemento!

[@-mesa]

Just crashed and was in the hospital so I’ll need a new s works helmet now 😎

[@austinjacob99]

Review the Kask helmets ya’ll sell now! Protone Icon is the g.o.a.t.

[@Agent-vj3ns]

It was. The new icon has a fragile adjustment wheel. I broke three in the bike shop just trying them on. This was a month ago. Shop said there's a fix. Got a prevail 3 instead.

[@rolffuchs2737]

Prevail I 184g

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

Trek helmets fit my head better than other helmet. They're definitely not sexy, but they work great for me

[@user-ve3gh5xg9q]

300💰💰...😂😂😂😂😂

[@smakersify]

Why are they $300? They should be around $60

[@Agent-vj3ns]

Same reason a stainless steel Rolex is 10,000 but is worth less than $1,000 (as proven by chinese replica factories).

[@johndef5075]

I just bought a Bell helmet from Target with a MIPs liner. Fits and looks good.
$34.95.

[@treyshepard1717]
