INSPIRED BY NATURE REFINED BY TECHNOLOGY
Taking inspiration from the most aerodynamic shape, in a lab that has been working for millions of years: Nature. A starting point that we have analysed, tested and developed thanks to the most innovative analysis models and virtual simulations, to finalise all tests in the real wind gallery. To grant cyclists the most natural way to race towards the future.

The collaboration with pro teams has always been part of LIMAR DNA, and LIMAR was the first company to sponsor a full cycling team. The recommendations of champions like Gianni Bugno, Bjarne Riis, Alexandr Vinokurov testing the helmets during races, allow Limar to develop helmets based on the real needs of professional cyclists, extremely demanding in terms of comfort, ventilation and, most of all, performance. The inestimable information collected along the years have directed the research and development of Limar, integrating mathematical data and the analyses of the wind tunnel tests with another even more sophisticated instrument: man, with all his sensations.

N O I T U L O V E R IR THE ANSWER
IS THE WIND
When cycling, air is your main rival. That’s why our R&D focused on the helmet aerodynamics, studying the air stream and turbulence to guarantee athletes and amateurs a real and consistent advantage. The need to explore new limits in performance now has a solution. In the wind.
THE VALUE OF JUST ONE SECOND We always compete against our limits: one second, one centimeter can really count. Both in races and life. With AIR PRO you achieve a reduction of 0.2% in the air drag coefficient, when compared to model Ultralight+. Or if you prefer, a 20% increase in efficiency. This enables you to earn up to one second every 10 km. Since every victory counts.

We have exploited the unique properties of carbon, coupling them with EPS, to realise a maximum resistance core with minimum thickness. Two structural wings merge with the side ribs of the shell, creating a highly performing cage in terms of safety, aerodynamics and ventilation.
IMPROVING AIR CIRCULATION The transversal wings, thanks to the use of carbon, have a reduced thickness. This allows easy inflow and improved air circulation inside the shell resulting in great benefits to aerodynamics and ventilation.

D E E P S IR CHRONO AERODYNAMICS Aerodynamic flow was the main feature of this project, as if the lines of the helmet had been drawn by the wind. At an average speed of 40 km/h, AIR SPEED achieves the same performance and aerodynamics code of our time trial helmet, LIMAR AIR KING, but with the natural advantage of better ventilation.
EXTREME VENTILATION The twelve air vents and the three longitudinal channels allow a faster extraction of hot air, granting an immediate and better cooling effect on the head, even during long performances.

POWER DURING THE RACE During the tests carried out at the Boardman Performance Center (UK), we had further confirmation that AIR SPEED allows the rider great saving in watts during performance.
ADVANCED HIGH TECHNOLOGY The in-mould monoshell technology guarantees optimal results in terms of aerodynamics. The single shell is naturally compact and streamlined, creating the perfect surface to allow the air to flow and to prevent turbulence.
BEST COMFORT The new AIR FIT SYSTEM is light and compact, with both vertical and horizontal adjustments, in perfect connection with straps, for a comfortable and safe fitting. Supplied with soft, washable and non-allergenic pads.

DEVELOPED IN THE WIND TUNNEL You can count on all the over thirty years of experience in producing and manufacturing more and more advanced models. Thanks to ongoing tests in the wind tunnel in MagnyCours we have worked on every single detail, to reach the best possible balance between aerodynamic and ventilation. The result being a helmet with such a combination of performance and comfort like you have never seen before.
ULTRA VENTILATED Thanks to the Venturi effect, the fifteen air vents and the internal duct , the helmet grants the entry of a large amount of air, but with no compromise to its aerodynamic performance. Comfort is ensured by the circulation inside the helmet, where the air is channeled through the entire shell, and the accumulated heat is expelled, keeping the head cool.

THE SECRET IS SMOOTHNESS Thanks to the position of the front air vents and to the shape of the rear section, the air has a lesser impact, it runs along the entire shell and detaches progressively, without creating turbulence.
BEST COMFORT The new AIR FIT SYSTEM is light and compact with both vertical and horizontal adjustments, in perfect connection with straps, for a comfortable and safe fitting.
TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED The construction technology of in-mould triple shell allows a complete coverage. The size adjustment is optimised to adapt to any head shape and size. The pads grant total comfort without interfering with the air flow and ventilation channels. No detail is left to chance.
