Is the new Uno-X time trial helmet the wildest one yet?
New fr♍om Sweet Protection, it has a normal silhouette from the side, but from the front it's a diff🅠erent story

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Volto ao Algarve isn't necessarily the biggest race of the year but the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:final time trial of the race was the backdrop for some new, unreleased TT tech, in the form of a pretty radical new helmet from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Uno-X Pro Cycling Team sponsor Sweet Protection.
There has definitely been a trend in recent years for some groundbreaking (and visually arresting) helmets, especially for the time trial. 168澳洲5最新开奖结🏅果:Wei♓rd helmets took over the Tour de France last year, with some enormous options from Kask, and a Specialized model with an integrated head-sock. This new model, seen atop 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alexander Kristoff and his teammates would definitely f♔it in with the ne🥃w kids on the block.
As it is currently unreleased we cannot say much for sure, but the general form is very similar to that of the old POC Tempor helmet which was perhaps most famously, or infamously, seen in use by the Danish team pursuit squad during their 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:altercation with Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics. The flared edges, 🌼we presume, are designed to smooth the airflow around the rider's shoulders.
The carcass of the helmet seems to have a number of internal air channels built in. Two large vents above the front visor are assumed to be tꦏhere to cool the face and also reduce the fogging of the visor by enduring airflow over the inside of the lens.
The stand-out feature, at the front of the main body of the helmet, is a large central vent. Within this, in the void, is a splitter running verticallyꦆ that looks to split the direct airflow into two channels running either side of the head be🔯hind a carbon, or carbon effect shroud. Sweet Protection has a history of using actual carbon fibre in its snowsports helmets, so it's not unreasonable to suspect it's the former. Whether this split vent is for aerodynamics or cooling it's impossible to say at this stage, so let's assume it's the latter for now.
MIPS 💎is approaching ubiquity at the pinnacle of head protection for cyclists, and so it's no surprise to see this model sporting a yellow sticker denoting it has rotational impact protecti𝄹on built in.
Cyclingnews understands the helmet, its model name we're unsure of, has been developed in conjunction with the Uno-X team and technical staff for at least the past 12 months, and that the team is trialling the use of various new aerodynamic advancements ahead of its debut at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France in July.
