- We've used some of the latest real-world aero testing tech to see if your ventilated helmet is holding you back...The Body Rocket aero drag measuring device claims to be able to determine what equipment is quicker...to find out we put an aero road bike helmet and a ventilated road bike helmet to the test.
We wanted to know how many watts an aero helmet could save you when compared to a regular road bike helmet so heading to an outdoor velodrome with some new cycling tech to find out.
Should you buy an aero road bike helmet?

Wow. I was not expecting that much difference. My head would get so hot and sweaty in a non- ventilated helmet though
I'm faster after the Remco haircut 🙂
Crashed my Abus Aventor and decided to upgrade to MET Manta. This test reflects on my experience, the Aventor felt like a weaved basket on my head. Good ventilation but very slow compared to Manta.
So aero helmet could be better for winter.
have been using a Kask Utopia for about 3 years as my only helmet, alpine climbs in summer and commuting in london winter.....never felt any reason to complain or change it for soemthign lighter or more ventilated. Plenty of research evidence to suggest that after body position it does have a significant impact in aero. i might not go faster but i use less energy so can go longer. As far as the video, it felt like there was much more potential and depth than provided here...
So would a shave head, and no helmet be the best Aero gains? The 140+ degree blacktop, and 100% Humidity here really limits me even in a highly vented Giro Aries Spherical. I'm not sure if even a 50 watt gain would outweigh my heat exhaustion limits?
Much appreciated
I don't care about watt or second savings at all. But not having a boat anchor on your head is the biggest benefit. I have Abus Stormchaser, a well ventilated helmet, Ekoi Aero 14 good ventilated aero helmet and Force Orca, low ventilated aero helmet for colder days. But all are between 210 to 230 grams.
In winter my met manta mips helmet keeps the top of my head dry and in summer with less vent holes in the summer keeps wasps and other bugs from getting to my head, my head doesn't overheat as i have a cropped hairstyle
I have both dépend of the weather
So aero helmet would make a good winter helmet?
Certainly would!
80% decrease your speed if you have a large body😂😂😂😂😂
Where is the aero-helmet?
@@RSGSulldorfAltona-West the one that is 12watts quicker?
@@a1white Savings depend on different factors like CDA, position, speed aso.; thats why we can't say helmet A saves xx watts.
"Aero-Helmets" are per definition helmets like POC Tempor, MET Drone, Kask Mistral, S-Works TT5....
Why is there such an obsession to be faster (especially when it comes from just buying new stuff)? Most people aren't racing anyway so does saving 5watts really matter?
1 long ad for a expensive "aero meter" nobody needs, and doesn't work in (heavy) traffic, it only works when there is nothing around you, that's why they ride on a track!!!
