The First Cycling Helmet By Pininfarina Is A Faster Way To Win Tour de France

Ekoi x Pininfarina present the ultimate bike helmet.

First cycling helmet in the world to be designed by Pininfarina.

In an exciting collaboration between Ekoï and Pininfarina, the highly anticipated Aerodinamica helmet has been unveiled, just in time for the start of the Tour de France. This groundbreaking helmet is set to revolutionize the cycling world, combining performance and safety in a design that would make even the most stylish riders turn their heads.

The name Aerodinamica isn’t just a fancy word; it’s a nod to the helmet’s true essence—its aerodynamic design. Inspired by Pininfarina’s rich history, dating back to 1936 when Battista Pinin Farina designed the Lancia Aprilia Aerodinamica for competition, this collaboration brings together Italian design elegance and cycling expertise.

The task was clear: create a helmet that would leave no compromises between elegance and performance.

Ekoï engineers and Pininfarina designers took on the challenge, spending months in both Fréjus and Cambiano, researching and developing the perfect helmet. The result? The Ekoï Aerodinamica helmet, a true work of art that blends science and sport seamlessly.

Every detail of the helmet has been carefully considered, from its sleek lines—painstakingly studied in Pininfarina’s legendary wind tunnel—to the selection of vibrant racing colors. This helmet not only looks fantastic, but it also incorporates the latest safety innovations to protect riders when they need it most.

One of the most notable safety features is the integration of Koroyd technology.

This groundbreaking innovation consists of a honeycomb structure of thin tubes that are heat-welded together, primarily composed of air. In the event of an impact, the walls of these tubes collapse evenly, absorbing the energy across the front and sides of the helmet. This not only provides superior protection for the rider’s skull but also enhances air circulation, giving a refreshing breeze and a sense of weightlessness.

With its emphasis on safety and performance, it’s no wonder that professional riders have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Ekoï Aerodinamica helmet. During the development phase, riders like Giacomo Nizzolo and Caleb Ewan had the opportunity to test it out, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. Nizzolo won the Tro Bro Léon, and Ewan triumphed at the Van Merksteijn Fences Classic, both thanks to the helmet’s remarkable gains in sprints.

At 2023 Tour de France the Ekoï Aerodinamica helmet is worn by four teams in the peloton: Israel-Premier Tech, Lotto-Dstny, Arkéa-Samsic, and Cofidis. Its distinctive design and superior performance make it one of the most eye-catching helmets in the race, ensuring that riders will stand out as they zoom through the French countryside.

So, whether you’re a professional rider looking for that extra edge or a cycling enthusiast dreaming of conquering the open road, the Ekoï Aerodinamica helmet is here to take you to new heights—both figuratively and literally. It’s time to buckle up, put on your helmet, and embrace the aerodynamic revolution. Let the race begin, and may the best-dressed rider win!
