Limar Air Pro MIPS Carbon Road Cycling HelmetLimar AIR PRO helmet boasts an
extremely innovative production process in which the carbon fiber – due
to its high mechanical resistance and lightweight properties – becomes
the heart of the helmet. This improves helmet safety without
compromising on weight.
CARBONCORETECH:
The 3K carbon coupled inside with EPS gives top resistance core, and
is the main feature of the Air Pro Mips. Two structural wings merge with
the side ribs of the shell, creating a highly performing cage.
So far used as a finish, the 3K carbon is now co-moulded with EPS in 5
layers, not as a simple film (only one or two layers maximum). It is
the same process used for building bike frames. In this way it takes an
exceptional mechanical resistance, allowing the use of the thinnest
thickness. The carbon now becomes the soul of the helmet, acting with
the expanded polystyrene to create a highly performing cage in terms of
safety and allowing to optimize ventilation on the head of the riders,
and the aerodynamics of the air flows around the helmet.
AERODYNAMICS:
The pyramidal surface of the longitudinal ribs reduces the impact
pressure since it cuts the air and allows a smooth sliding. The very
thin carbon wings allow easy inflow and improved air circulation. The
extended tail prevent turbulence: the mathematical simulation CFD datas
integrated with Wind Tunnel tests demonstrate an increase in aerodynamic
efficiency of 20% compared to the LIMAR Ultralight+ model, proved also
by the several tests achieved in velodromes/wind tunnels (tests in
real-life environmental conditions with Astana Team riders).
MIPS Air:
Mips Air is a Brain Protection System made by a low friction layer
that allows a sliding movement of 10-15 mm, in all directions, reducing
rotational motion to the brain during impact.
Limar chose the revolutionary and innovative Mips Air solution, much lighter and more ventilated than the common one.
This is achieved through the integration of the Mips Brain Protection
System and the LIMAR comfort padding, the result is enhanced comfort,
fit and great air flow inside the helmet.
The value of one second
Designed in Italy, the AIR PRO has been analyzed, tested and
developed in collaboration with the Astana Pro Cycling Team while
integrating the most innovating analyses systems with mathematical
simulation data’s including the tests achieved in the Wind Tunnel. With
AIR PRO you achieve a 20% increase in efficiency when compared to model
Ultralight+. This enables you to earn up to one second every 10 km.
