Limar Air Speed Road Helmet - Black

 

The Air Speed is the fastest helmet in the Limar Air Revolution range and independent wind tunnel test show it to be one of the fastest aero road helmet in the market today.

The Air Revolution range was a design collaboration with the Astana Pro Cycling Team to create a range of aero helmets that are all based around the fully functioning aerodynamics and specializing in different features.

This resulted in the team having a helmet that would absolutely specialize in that races profile or that days weather conditions because what a classic rider needs in early spring is very different to what a grand tour rider requires in the height of summer.

The Air Speed is the fastest helmet in the Air Revolution Range and is used by World Tour Team Astana, UCI UK Continental Pro teams Vitus Pro Cycling, Swift Carbon Pro Cycling, Cams Tifosi Womens Pro Team and GB Triathletes.
Why because we proved through wind tunnel testing that it would improve their performance on the bicycle.

The Air Speeds performance is already proven in the wind tunnel and has been winning at world tour, grand tour stages, UK national series and tour series races.

The Air Speed has been further developed with the GB Olympic Triathletes with the addition of the magnetic buckle. You still get the proven aero gains which are now coupled with the magnetic buckle for smooth transitions. The Air Speed is now the perfect helmet for triathlon and is used by Great Britains world leading triathletes. We went beyond Wind Tunnel, Studies have proved that about 20% of the aerodynamic drag depends on the bicycle used during competitions, while the remaining 80% is due to the athlete’s position on the saddle.

The helmet is therefore the fundamental element to minimize the frontal area and to determine a better aerodynamic penetration. Not only did we do three-dimensional simulation supports, using CFD software, but we also took into account the numerous variables, especially in competitions, when the rider hardly remains on the saddle in the same position, moving the head countless times.

Designers found the perfect combination between aerodynamic advantage (wind tunnel test) and better dynamics both on open roads and in velodromes (tests in real-life environmental conditions). It was during one of the recent road training sessions in Calpe and indoor at the Valencia velodrome, that the Astana Team riders were able to really test the helmet.

Further testing at the Boardman Performance Centre against 5 other major brands similar helmets cemented the Air Speed as the ultimate aero road helmet.

Save Your Head with Limar

"Need a new helmet? Check this one out. It's light, aero, and has an innovative strap that's cool. Just bring the two ends near each other and it snaps into place. It fits my head perfectly (comes in 3 sizes S M L), looks sharp, and it works...to protect your head! I had it on my skull when I had a crash a few weeks ago, where I hit my head pretty hard. It absorbed the shock, even though I hit the pavement hard enough to crack the shell. I had no scratches on my head, and no regrets about having the Limar helmet to protect my brain. I got another one, knowing this does its job well."

Fits great and feels fast!

"Shape seems to fit my head well, very oval shape but comfortable for me. I hear a halo headband and it’s a tight squeeze but isn’t uncomfortable with this helmet. Helmet is light and love the magnetic buckle and needless to say I am impressed so far. I have worn it in 90 degree weather and didn’t feel over heated so I’d say the ventilation seems to work well for me and the quality is great especially for the Cambria price."

Lovely Lid

"Loving this lid!! For me, the fit is perfect (57cm head wearing a M), and doesn’t make me look like a mushroom🍄. I’ve used it in only mild conditions so far, but the ventilation seems like it’ll be plenty for most rides. Note, this is not the MIPS version."

Great helmet - tricky fit

"The quality and finish are impressive. Limar uses a magnetic vertical slide buckle for the strap. The fit is adjusted with a turn dial at the rear of the internal cage. The fit is on the small side. I measure 55cm and initially tried a size small. I later swapped for the medium which still feels a little tight especially on the forehead (fore- aft cut of the helmet). It still works great and will be a go to helmet especially when areo dynamics are important. The fit is the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars."

Doug L. (4/5)

Great helmet

"It was a somewhat small fit. I’ll give it to my wife and order the next size up as it matches our team kit. It does fit well."

"Lightweight, good ventilation, and I really think I can tell the difference in drag, it's a fast helmet! I love the magnetic buckle too, so quick and easy!"
