You might have seen the KASK Elemento tilting on the cols and cobbles of the pro peloton and wondered when this attractive lid might make it to the US. The answer? Right now.

The Elemento is KASK newest top-tier bike helmet, an impressively safe, well-ventilated, high-performance model set to cross a lot of finish lines in first place. If you're looking for a cut-to-the-chase summary, simply put, expect masses of ventilation and aerodynamics, a fit that feels like it was custom-tuned to your head, and a light, stylish silhouette that you'll forget you're wearing on the road (or gravel, or cyclo-cross mud). It really is that good.

It also needs to be said that the KASK Elemento is an elite-level bike helmet that doesn't make you flinch when you catch your reflection in the hall mirror on the way out to ride. In truth, though, KASK's helmet line has always been one of the better-looking options on the road, and the Elemento further burnishes the Italian brand's credentials for style.

To dive into some of the new tech on offer, Elemento features KASK's Fluid Carbon 12 and Multipod technology. Fluid Carbon 12 is a composite techno-polymer that works in concert with the helmet's slimmed-down EPS to maximize airflow while simultaneously reducing the size of the ventilation holes, thus improving aerodynamics.

Multipod is a KASK-designed 3D-printed structure that enhances the ability of the helmet to withstand linear and rotational impacts. It also has isotropic properties that ensure it behaves consistently, no matter which direction the force is applied.
