The Ultimate Road Bike Helmets

3. POC Ventral Spin (POC - YouTube 5.6k)

Best aero road bike helmet for watt saving without compromise.

Due to its crossover credentials, the POC anterior SPIN helmet could likely sit in many of the best road bike helmet classifications.

Its large air ports signify that it also does not take the usual guise of an aero helmet, which tends to have a more solid appearance. POC says the special design used optimized CFD( computational fluid dynamic) testing which enhances aerodynamics performance by degrading drag and minimalizing air turbulence to help you ride as rapidly as possible.

2. Giro Aether MIPS (Giro Sport Design - YouTube 7.6k)

Best road bike helmet for all-around riding.

Extraordinary in its ventilation capability and at the cutting edge for safety features. While there are barely lighter helmets, such as the Kask Protone helmet, it was still an impressively low weight at only 269g( for a size small). The Aether features the gold standard MIPS Spherical technology, which sits between the two cases to make the added safety feature a comfy option. Teaming this with the added reinforcement construction gives the rider lots of comfort in how safe and strong this helmet is.

1. Mavic Comete Ultimate (Mavic - YouTube 21k)

There are 15 generous vents, all cut into the easily domed shell.

With an RRP of$ 297, it’s surely not cheap, but Mavic does pack a lot of tech into its Comete Ultimate MIPS helmet to try and justify that price tag. As well as a MIPS liner, it has a carbon fiber corroborated building made from EPS- 4D foam that’s said to be more efficient at absorbing impacts than common EPS foam.

Ventilation is good and the polycarbonate shell and angular vents give the helmet a veritably sharp appearance. As you’d anticipate of any top-end lid, Mavic claims the helmet is aerodynamically effective too.
