KASK is revolutionizing the world of cycling with the launch of the Elemento. It is ahelmet that cuts no corners, and an array of cutting-edge technologies have beenapplied to ensure it delivers the very best in aerodynamics, ventilation and safety.The Elemento is aimed at elite athletes competing in the world’s best road, cross-country, cyclocross, and gravel events, as well as cyclists who are driven by thequest for ultimate performance.

The origins of the helmet date back to 2020 when KASK conducted an in-depth analysis of numerousscientific studies focused on how athletes’ performances varied as their body temperatures changed.The studies concluded that, in performance terms, an athlete's thermal comfort is just as important asa helmet’s weight and aerodynamics.KASK immediately began working with INEOS Grenadiers on the Elemento-developing aninnovative and ground-breaking helmet which is not only super aerodynamic, but also offers highlevels of safety and ventilation.

Fluid Carbon 12is a composite technopolymer that is capable of absorbing more energy from animpact than traditional materials, and then able to distribute that force more evenly across the helmet.This capability has enabled KASK's technicians to increase the size of the Elemento’s internalchannels, improving ventilation whilst simultaneously reducing the size of the ventilation holes, thusalso improving aerodynamics.

Multipod is a KASK-designed structure that is 3D-printed and used in the Elemento’s internalpadding. This elastomer material was conceived as a direct result of KASK’s Rotational Impact WG11Test-an internal testing protocol that has enabled KASK to improve the performance and safety of its cycling helmets when subjected to different types of impact.

Indeed, Multipod enables the helmet to better withstand linear and rotational impacts, and also hasisotropic properties which ensure it behaves consistently, no matter which direction the force isapplied. These properties have helped the Elemento receive a five-starreview from Virginia Tech'shighly authoritative test which measures the performance of helmets subjected to linear and rotationalimpacts.

 Last but not least, the Multipod’s unique design also greatly improves ventilation, thusincreasing the Elemento’sthermoregulation capabilities.

Other technologies included in the Elemento include OCTOFIT+, the new helmet adjustment systemthat provides greater comfort and stability, and the “Pro” chinstrap, which is the same ultra-lightweightchinstrap used by INEOS Grenadiers.

The Elemento also features a reflective graphic on the back to increase rider visibility, and merinowool internal padding is used in addition to Multipod, guaranteeing unprecedented comfort and thermoregulation.
