Road bike helmets

The advantages of road bike helmets

Bicycle helmets are a must-have for all outings, thanks to the many advantages they offer. First and foremost, the helmet shell limits the risk of injury in the event of a fall or other incident. However, so that wearing a helmet is not a constraint, the models on offer have been finely tuned, starting with aerodynamics. For time trials, an aerodynamic helmet can save you a few seconds on the stopwatch.

When we talk about the advantages of road bike helmets, we also have to mention the ventilation they offer. You benefit from a pleasant, continuous flow of air, especially during intense outings. Last but not least, helmets are highly adaptable, so there's a model to suit every body type, for optimum comfort.

How to choose road bike helmets

To choose the right road helmets for your needs, it's important to take certain parameters into account. Want to improve your performance on the road? Opt for an aerodynamic helmet that helps you push your limits! Cyclists should also pay attention to the tightening system. One of the easiest to use is the FULL Turn-Ring system, which covers the entire head and allows quick adjustment of the strap, thanks to a knob on the back of the head.

On our online site DECATHLON, you'll find a choice of bicycle helmet weights. A lightweight model will be particularly comfortable to wear, especially for two-wheeled enthusiasts embarking on long outings. Our search filters allow you to sort models by weight.

Finally, be sure to take into account the helmet's morphological adaptability. For people with long hair, some models have been designed for a "ponytail" hairstyle, for optimum comfort.
