Description

The new helmets from AGU are aimed at cyclists who are looking for the perfect balance between aerodynamics, weight, and ventilation. The search for optimal airflow has been the key to success, according to Bert Blocken, professor and Scientific Director of the wind tunnel at Eindhoven University of Technology: “The goal is always to guide the wind over and through the helmet with as little resistance as possible. We've not only looked at wind resistance at the front of the helmet but also how the air flows through the helmet and especially how it exits the helmet. You are looking for a way to minimize the low pressure behind the helmet, which would cause drag. We have succeeded in this endeavor and AGU has thus reached a new milestone with these helmets.”
