The Rudy Project Nytron cycling helmet isn't just about style – it's a powerhouse of ventilation, lightweight design, snug fit, and remarkable aerodynamic performance.
Partnering with aerodynamics experts Swiss Side, Rudy Project has crafted a cutting-edge road bike helmet. Painstakingly developed in wind tunnels and utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this helmet prioritizes exceptional ventilation.
You might have already caught sight of the Nytron adorning the heads of Team Bahrain Victorious riders.
The Nytron's design is a departure from the typical mushroom-shaped aero helmets. Its sleek and compact silhouette not only looks fantastic but also houses six strategically positioned forward-facing vents. Additionally, the twin vents on the outer edges double as convenient ports for glasses, a nod to Rudy Project's expertise as a leading manufacturer of cycling eyewear.
Internally, the forward-facing vents seamlessly channel airflow through substantial pathways that traverse the length of the helmet, exiting through nine exhaust ports. This intelligent design ensures efficient cooling and airflow, particularly conducive to aggressive riding positions.
During road tests in a low and aerodynamic riding posture, the Nytron proved its mettle, impressing with its performance. However, its low-set horizontal vents might not align optimally with the wind when riding on gravel terrain.
Weighing in at a mere 300g for the large size, the Nytron achieves a remarkable balance of lightweight construction and robust protection. Its extensive outer shell coverage ensures enhanced durability and safety for the EPS core within.
The rear retention system, featuring micro-adjustments, contributes to a secure and comfortable fit.
Notably, the Nytron meets the stringent WG11 rotational impact standard and is certified according to EU1078 regulations. This certification underscores its commitment to rider safety and protection. Check out the Rudy Project Nytron
