food you eat, and of course, the gear that you need during the race.
Having the best bikes, shoes, triathlon suits, and an aero helmet, your gear will help you
perform smoothly as you go to ace the race.
But have you already known which Aero helmet is suitable for you?

The world of cycling has grown fascinated with aerodynamics.
One company even goes so far as to say that "aero is everything."
While we may not agree, we believe that the greatest aero helmets may provide several
advantages.
After all, the bulk of the WorldTour peloton wears aero helmets on all save the hilliest
days.
Time trialists have long studied aerodynamics, whose sport is based on innovation since every
feasible time-saving measure is critical.
Over the last decade, however, the marginal-gains philosophy has spread to the road, leading
to the development of the aero road cycling helmet.
The potential of greater speeds for fewer watts - cycling's holy grail, if you will
- is the main emphasis when purchasing many, and the best road bike helmet will come from
our list of the top aero helmets.
If you're a time trialist, though, the finest time trial helmets can save you considerably
more watts.
The aero road helmet is easily identified by its profile, which commonly has a smooth
frontal section with fewer air vents.
The back of the head will occasionally expand to route flowing air through the back of the
skull with little turbulence.
Here is a list of the fastest aero helmets available:

Aero Road Bike Helmet by RockBros (Best Budget)
Aero helmets are often pricey; however, not all of them are.
A nice example is this RockBros aero helmet.
It's a reasonable choice, so if you're on a tight budget but still want to use an aero
helmet, it's worth a go.
Higher-end aero helmets influenced it.
It even has premium features like a magnetic clasp for quick fastening and smartly engineered
air for greater ventilation in the summer, so your head doesn't warm.
It's light enough that you'll forget you're wearing it on extended journeys.
It also features removable inside cushioning, so you may replace it with a new one as it
wears out.
The chin strap feels cheap and isn't as comfy as chin straps on more costly helmets, plus
there are just a few colors to choose from.
#2.
The Specialized S-Works Evade with ANGi
The Specialized S-Works Evade with ANGi aero helmet was created with three elements in
mind: low weight, efficient ventilation, and excellent aerodynamics.
As a result, it's billed as the world's quickest road cycling helmet.
It can save 50 seconds over 40 kilometers compared to a regular road cycling helmet
and 6 seconds over the previous iteration of S-Works Evade.
However, riders that engage in crits, quick races, or sprints where inches can make the
difference between winning and losing, might benefit from its aero performance.
The Evade II also has an ANGi sensor to connect to the Specialized Ride iOS or Android app.
So your smartphone will instantly send a message to your loved ones if it detects a crash - safety
first!
Another fascinating feature of this helmet is the magnetic buckle, allowing one-handed
fastening.
The appeal of the Evade II helmet is undeniable; in the 2021 season, the following world tour
pro cycling teams will be wearing it.

Kask Utopia
He found the Kask Utopia to be the most well-ventilated aero helmet he'd tried.
The Kask Utopia is also quite light, which is great for roadies.
However, proper fit is more crucial than weight.
And there is another area in which Utopia shines.
The circumference may be adjusted with the dial, and owing to Kask's Octo Fit, the dial's
fit position can be adjusted as well (so the helmets fit better).
I've worn the Kask Mojito helmet before, and it was the most comfortable for me.
Kask helmets are renowned for their excellent fit.
According to Kask, Utopia saves up to 6 watts at 30 mph (50 km/h).
You usually don't train at this pace, but it can make a race difference.
#4.
Bell Aero Z20
Although the Bell Z20 Aero appears to be inadequately ventilated, this is not the case.
On the contrary, it is considered to be one of the primary reasons for its popularity.
It has MIPS technology, which reduces strain levels upon impact, in addition to excellent
ventilation.
The interior cushioning and design of the Bell Z20 Aero make it exceptionally comfortable
for most head types.
In addition, the fitting system performs as expected on a helmet in this price range.
#5.
Furion, HJC
When developing the Furion helmet, HJC drew on their MotoGP knowledge.
As a result, it is considered the lightest aero helmet among the contenders.
In comparison to other helmets, HJC promises that it will save you 7% energy during your
ride.
This is a bold claim...
In any case, owing to its SELFIT automated fitting technology, owners prefer its aesthetics
and a high degree of comfort.
Therefore, this helmet does not have a typical dial for adjusting the fit.
Instead, this technology changes the helmet size automatically, even during a ride, to
provide a constant fit.
It's worth noting that this automated approach might not be right for everyone, and some
users have complained that this aero helmet puts too much pressure on their nape.
The Furion and Furion 2.0 are the two variants of the Furion helmet.
The second model is significantly lighter and more aerodynamic than the first but slightly
more costly.
#6.
Ignite MIPS by Smith Optics
Because they don't support any teams, Smith Optics isn't well-known among the elite peloton.
On the other hand, their helmets are worthwhile since they are well-made and reasonably priced,
with a better price-to-value ratio than high-end aero helmets.
Ignite will appeal to everyone who appreciates a clean, modern aesthetic.
It doesn't have an old-school mesh to keep insects out, but it does feature a skeleton
construction that may remind you of Bontrager's WaveCel helmets.
This helmet also has Smith Optics' Zonal Koroyd technology, which is superior at absorbing
impacts.
As a result, when combined with MIPS, you have the highest possible protection.
Before you click the buy button, think about whether an aero road bike helmet is the right
fit for you.
