EKOI AERODINAMICA
Optimizing protection for professional sprinters
A work of art and a jewel of technology, the EKOÏ AERODINAMICA design by PININFARINA helmet has been designed to offer riders from the Israel Premier-Tech, Arkéa–B&B Hotels, Cofidis and Lotto-Dstny teams the fastest and most protective helmet in the peloton.
It is the embodiment of the perfect alchemy of two skills. The timeless expertise of the grandissimo Italian design house and that of Ekoï, whose heartbeat is guided by the research for performance.
Sculpted to perfection by the magic of the wind tunnel, its sleek, pure lines seem to defy weightlessness. The epitome of aerodynamics, the EKOÏ AERODINAMICA design by PININFARINA helmet was conceived with the ambition of achieving 6 goals: aerodynamics, protection, comfort, ventilation, design, lightness.
Aerodynamics: developed in wind tunnel, approved by the best sprinters
Developed in a wind tunnel with our engineers to reduce the coefficient of drag when speeds exceed 40 km/h, the AERODINAMICA helmet has been designed to offer all speed-minded cyclists the most efficient equipment to take them to the finish line.
Ekoï has called on Swiss Side, world renowned for its aerodynamic research to produce one of the fastest helmets in the world. Months of R & D were required to finalize the aero profile of this new model.
Developed in close collaboration with professional riders from the Israel Premier-Tech and Lotto-Dstny teams, including Caleb Ewan, the helmet has already enabled the latter (in its prototype version) to win a sprint.
Protection
A helmet's purpose and first priority is protection. The Ekoï AERODINAMICA helmet has been carefully designed to offer cyclists much more than just standard protection.
In collaboration with the company KOROYD®, the helmet's structure has been reinforced by the insertion of nanotube plates in the most exposed areas (front and sides). Thermally welded together to form a honeycomb shape. And it's exactly this lightweight honeycomb construction, free of weak points, that absorbs 30% more energy released on impacts than standard EPS.
Another major advantage of KOROYD® technology: this high-quality technical polymer is unaffected by variations in outside temperature. Its extraordinary shock absorption properties remain stable unlike those of standard EPS, which will tend to 'wilt' when it's hot and become hard and brittle in cold weather. As a result, cyclists benefit from an optimum level of protection, whatever the temperature.
Design
PININFARINA is a world-renowned name, a signature. And for the first time in its prestigious history, the Italian designer applies his signature to a bicycle helmet. The initial pencil stroke gave life to the helmet, which was then modelled in 3D.
The result is a 'body' with aero curves and a sleek profile, cut exclusively for speed.
The front grill features three slender gills that follow the shape of the helmet and perfectly oriented to guide airflow.
The rear features an air extractor (or "diffuser") with arched architecture. This houses a low-slung X designed to optimize the helmet's aerodynamic properties and ventilation.
In its black and red livery, the helmet is elegant, though tremains subtle in a very classy way.
Adopting a pure racing look, as refined as it is uncompromising.
Comfort and modularity
With its anatomical shape, the helmet adapts to most skull shapes. It comes in 3 sizes (S/M/L). Strategically-sited thick foam guarantees soft contact with the top of the head.
The lightness
The Ekoï AERODINAMICA design by Pininfarina helmet boasts an exceptional aerodynamic weight/performance ratio (300 g). It illustrates the concept that a good helmet should protect while remaining inconspicuous. Its low weight is all the more decisive during a sprint when every gram counts.
The Ekoï AERODINAMICA design by Pininfarina helmet is the perfect illustration of the successful symbiosis between design, innovation and performance. Approved by pro teams, already victorious with Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Dstny) and Giacomo Nizzolo (Israel Premier-Tech), we are sure to offer you one of the fastest helmets in the world.
