Verdict
Still the best all-round road helmet on the market. Cool, light, fast, and quieter than it has any right to be.
What we like
- Class-leading ventilation on hot climbs
- Sub-260g in medium is exceptional
- AirCage retention is comfortable straight from the box
What we don't
- Premium price against the mid-range field
- Deep vents let some rain through in downpours
