New KASK WASABI Helm Aero, Merino and ventilation on request

Kask introduces the new Wasabi. The helmet is aerodynamically optimized and offers an adjustment option for ventilation. It allows the driver to choose between maximum aero performance or better cooling.

Kask describes the Wasabi as a high-performance helmet that should be suitable for road, gravel and cyclocross. At the Strade Bianche, the new helmet was used on the heads of the Ineos Grenadiers team for the first time in public. The professional team is said to have been significantly involved in the development of the new head protection.

Kask Wasabi info and prices

The most striking feature of the new helmet from the Italians is an adjustable middle section, which optimizes aerodynamics when closed and improves when open should provide cooling. Kask indicates the effect of cooling with a 1.5 degree drop in the temperature inside the helmet when the helmet is open. At 50 km/h, the difference in wind resistance between the open and closed position is said to be just one watt. Kask describes the Wasabi as one of the fastest helmets in the professional peloton, only the Utopia from the same company is even better aerodynamically.

To increase comfort, the Wasabi not only comes with the height and width-adjustable Octo Fit System from Kask, but also with a particularly comfortable liner Equipped with merino wool. The helmet should be very comfortable to wear even on cold days with the ventilation opening closed. In summer, the merino wool is said to ensure particularly good sweat absorption.
