Louis Garneau Vorttice Aero Bike Helmet

The newest aero helmet from the Canadian brand goes well beyond the dimples at the front that has been emblematic of the brand’s previous aero offerings. And the long tail? Welcome to a new line of thinking: don’t send the wind over the helmet and onto a long tail, send it through the helmet.

Garneau digitized triathletes to study ideal air flow.  If there’s any doubt that Garneau did its homework, check out this data: the Vorttice was tested at wind tunnels in Fort Collins, Colo., and Ottawa, Ontario, testing frontal pressure and drag from zero to 35 degrees, and at speeds from zero to 65 degrees.

They found that the Vorttice is not only faster than its other iterations, it has a more efficient wind flow than its own helmets and many competitors. That is, it’s cooler—literally speaking. “That airflow story was very important to us, because for triathletes, that’s always, always their biggest concern. Now we have a faster helmet, that’s also cooler.” (Source:  Lava magazine)

It is light (a little more than 13 pounds), quick under power, fast under sustained output, responsive but sure in corners, and just comfortable enough to let you feel good about taking it on longer road races instead of just crits."
