Road Bike Helmet – RCR MIPS

Ventilation

8 air entrances connected to 7 exits via canals

Lightweight

In-Mold technology results in a lightweight helmet (280 g in size M)

Anatomic design

Turn-ring system for a micrometric adjustment. Occipital adjustment.

Aerodynamics

Developed and tested in a wind tunnel to minimize its drag coefficient.

Compatibility

Compatible with long hair. Can accommodate a braid.

RCR

The RCR range for Racer is the range intended for cyclists looking for the best equipment. This range is suited to cyclists looking for excellence on all terrain. Very high-level, versatile products for riding on both flats and in the high mountains. The RCR range has been chosen by the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale professional team

Security

Because choosing a helmet is above all a question of safety, this helmet meets all the most demanding impact standards. It complies with the European regulation EN1078. This standard covers the following aspects: construction (including field of vision), shock absorption properties, retention system features (including the chinstrap and tightening devices), and marking and information.

Sizes and weight

The size of a helmet is based on your head circumference. RCR: Size S: 52-55 cm (20.5 - 21.7") – 240 g (8.5 oz) Size M: 55-59 cm (21.7 - 23.2") – 280 g (9.9 oz) Size L: 59-62 cm (23.2 - 24.4") – 300 g (10.6 oz) Note that this helmet has MIPS technology. This system slightly modifies the size grid, so if you are at the upper end of the size range we recommend choosing one size up.

Ventilation

A helmet’s ventilation is optimal when large entrances for air are connected to exits via canals that let the air circulate. The head is essential for cooling the body during intensive effort. The evacuation of the heat generated is thus a priority for maintaining a high level of performance.

Ventilation and aerodynamics

Poorly placed ventilation can, on the other hand, generate a great loss of aerodynamic performance by significantly increasing drag. The RCR has a variable ventilation system depending on your position on the bike. The straighter up you are, for instance when climbing a slope, the more effective the system. As soon as you tip down for a descent, the aerodynamics of this helmet will make all the difference.

Return conditions (specific to PPE)

This helmet is personal protective equipment (PPE). The protection it provides depends on its condition. We can only accept helmets returned in new condition. If your helmet doesn't suit you, please return it with the user guide and tags.

Helmet lifespan

Helmets don't last forever. To ensure maximum safety, we recommend replacing your helmet at least every 5 to 7 years. It is important to store it in its case, in a dry, cool place away from sunlight. Extreme temperatures will deteriorate the helmet's foam more quickly. After a significant impact, it is essential to replace your helmet, since it may no longer be effective if there are cracks inside the structure.
