Kask launches Elemento helmet, with carbon fibre plates and 3D printed pads

null

Kask has today unveiled a brand new road bike helmet that it says will "revolutionise the world of cycling" as we know it. It's called the Elemento, it uses carbon fibre plates to replace EPS foam, and the same 3D printed technology found atop the saddles of Fizik and Specialized for its pads. It is a new addition to the Kask lineup, and boasts a five-star Virginia Tech rating.

With the introduction of multiple new approaches, the Elemento certainly appears to be a technological step forward, and unsurprisingly the price is reflective of that. At £335 / €375 / $400, it's the most expensive road helmet we've seen to date, and when questioned on the matter, Kask is quick to point out that it is aimed at "elite athletes competing in the world's best road, cross-country, cyclocross, and gravel events, as well as cyclists who are driven by the quest for ultimate performance."
