Team Sky to race in new Kask Infinity helmet at the Tour de France

My skiing helmet has open/close vents wow an innovation.

Someone needs to acknowledge Ghedebrav. Lol'd

Gosh; I really don't think it looks much better or worse than any other helmet. I think it just looks different to what we're used to seeing. It has too much Sky blue on it for my taste, but I'd buy one in a more discreet colour scheme.

If you're worried about your appearance, I think a cycling cap looks better than any helmet!

Wonder if they'll carry on with the yellow helmets for the top-placed team thing? Just wondering if it was possible for the Sky riders to look even more stylish, what with these beauties and "21ST CENTURY FOX" painted on their wee rumps.

I will not be buying.
If I need to keep my head warm in the winter, I wear a cap.
If I think I need the aero advantage, I consider my riding ability and likely average speed, and decide i'm better off spending more time thinking about rule #5.
That covers most scenarios!

They look "Special"
Or a top down view of power ranger mask.

It's a 1990s piss pot cycling helmet revival. Mushroom head ahoy! Yuk.

Scene: a Major Cycling Brand HQ, board room...

CEO: "Crap, what do you mean, Product Guy, the new roadie disc rakes aren't ready yet? How are we going to bilk money from gullible Freds now?"

Product Guy: "Sorry boss, it turns out that they just aren't working very well. It's the electronic gear-shifters all over again"

CEO: "Goddammit F%**A$$"

Marketing Guy: "I think I may have a solution... Product Guy, how long would it take you to bang out some helmets *without* the aero-holes in? Maybe just drop in a dent or something?"

Product Guy: "Pretty quickly I suppose, why? I can't imagine it makes any difference to how fast you can go."

CEO: "And haven't we said for years that helmets with holes in go faster?"

Marketing Guy: "Seriously boss, Freds will believe anything if the pro-peloton does it first. Just knock out some $3 lids in the plant in the Chinese factory, stick them on top of our rolling billboards in one of the big races and we'll put out a press statement packed with technical mumbo-jumbo about air resistance and presto - the dorks'll be trading in their old mushrooms for these new ones within the week. let's make the mark-up, oh, 2,000%. That should fill the gap on the P&L sheet."

CEO: "Marketing Guy, you are literally a genius. If it wasn't for you, cyclsts would still be acheiving more-or-less the same speed on practical steel bicycles that lasted them decades. Blow-jobs all round!"

No matter what the cost, if its worn by Sky there will be plenty of takers.... however ridiculous it looks !

i really hate these new aero helmets lets just hope the general public don't buy them so they quietly disappear

I'm going to dig out my old Giro Hammerhead II in Jungle Jim finish and look all up to date!

Looks about the same as a Raleigh lid I had in about 1995. That is to say, ridiculous.

Adjustable vents would be great in winter too. I need to replace a rather old Specailised helmet in the near future, and would consider one of these ................ if the price is right you know, gets past the wife test.

Lots of new info/announcements on sky website daily now, leading up to the tour. Still waiting on the bike contract one.
