Riders from Arkea-Samsic have been wearing a new aero helmet design from the team’s helmet, glasses and clothing sponsor Ekoi at the Giro d’Italia. We spotted the helmet on the head of Warren Barguil, who’s been sporting the new design with its eye-catching black and white stripes for several stages already.
The new helmet looks to be a replacement for the current Ekoi Aero14 Evo aero helmet, although it’s significantly more enclosed, with just three long, aero slot vents on the front of the helmet and no side venting. The shape, particularly in side profile, is definitely reminiscent of the new Trek Ballista helmet that also came out recently/
