Store Availability

Our engineers have created a comfortable, lightweight, aerodynamic helmet which ventilates the cyclist's head to improve body thermoregulation.

BENEFITS

Ventilation

The helmet's grill and inner channels facilitate continuous air flow.

Lightweight

Ultra-light helmet thanks to its In-Mold molding construction and compact size.

Easy to put on / take off

Full turn-ring system fully covers the head ensuring fast, precise adjustment.

Aerodynamics

Developed in a wind tunnel, thereby minimizing its drag coefficient (Cx).

TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

Sizes

size M = 21-22"
size L = 22-23"
size XL = 234-24"

Weight

Size M: 260 g
Size L: 270 g
Size XL: 300 g

Ventilation

We have designed the helmet's inner ventilation to maximize thermal regulation of the head using the "jet" effect generated by air inflows through the grill, 16 inner channels and extractor.

In-Mold molding technology and EPS

The In-Mold molding technology used in manufacturing this helmet makes it possible to mold the external polycarbonate shell during the expansible polystyrene (EPS) injection stage. This results in a structure that is much stiffer, very durable, and extremely light. The inner EPS structure absorbs the energy generated during an impact so that it is not transmitted to the skull, while the stiff external shell provides the helmet with longer-lasting durability.

Not a great fit

It fits more like a child's helmet. Had to return and bought a much better fitting giro helmet.

Careful on sizing

So I took all the sizing comments on here with a pinch of salt as in my experience usually, this is people who cannot measure their heads properly. My head is 58cm this puts bang in the middle of the stated large sizing. I very nearly ordered online but when I realised the delivery times were so long and I noticed the large helmet I wanted was in stock in a local decathlon I decided to buy in person, I am glad I did!
The large size helmet on my 58 cm head did fit but it was perched more on top of my head than around it so there was no protection to my forehead area at all and whilst some cyclists seem to think wearing a helmet on the back of your head exposing your forehead is correct, it is not! same as a helmet is too small, a helmet is supposed to cover as much area as possible both at the front and the rear of your skull. Luckily there was an xl helmet in the store and this fitted almost perfectly although as other people of said the helmet does seem to have a very round profile so there are slight gaps on the sides but for me, it was close enough. This XL helmet is allegedly for 59 - 62 cm this is total nonsense, I highly recommend you try this helmet on before you buy, visit a store if you can do so.
On the positive side for £40 this seems to be a very well constructed, quality, not bad looking helmet on par with the big brands at a fraction of the price, as people have said there is some moaning about no being able to adjust the straps in the "triangle" or ear area, in my opinion, this is nonsense if you are wearing the helmet properly i.e. on your head covering the forehead area and not on the back of your head like a goon this area won't need adjusting in 99% of all cases.
would be a 5-star helmet if decathlon actually did something about the sizing, it's not like no one has told them the last couple of years or so!
