Wind tunnel tested: 47 helmets go head to head in world's most comprehensive aero shootout

A close up of helmets being tested in the wind tunnel.

When it comes to choosing a new road bike helmet, there will be multiple factors that you need to balance to choose the right one for you. Safety will be your primary concern, but price, aerodynamics, weight, ventilation and of course style will come into play too.
