Its mission is to produce premium swimwear, equipment and accessories that fit like a second skin while giving wearers a winning edge. Headquartered in Tolentino, Italy, Arena is one of the most recognised swimwear companies in the world. This software allowed it to simulate and test thousands of designs, while its use of HPC computing gave it faster testing and greater confidence in prototype performance. Kask says this technology will better withstand linear and rotational impacts, regardless of which direction they come from, keeping a rider safer in case of collision.Ĭombined with Fluid Carbon 12’s increased resistance to stress and heat, plus the geometric, open-cell 3D-printed pads, smaller holes are needed for ventilation, which Kask says boosts the helmet’s allimportant aerodynamics.Īccording to Kask, its team utilised the same NablaFlow Aerocloud software for CFD testing that is used by the Ineos Grenadiers team. The helmet also boasts 3D-printed ‘Multipod’ helmet pads, which compress and move upon impact. This shell is designed to enhance strength during impacts, while a reduction in EPS thickness in certain areas allows for improved airflow and ventilation. The Elemento features an injection-moulded thermoplastic shell consisting of two parts. Kask says its design team focused on four key areas for the helmet: safety, comfort, performance and design. This was worn in the Giro D’Italia cycling competition by the Ineos Grenadiers riders, the team led by 2023 runner-up, Geraint Thomas.Įlemento gets its name from its use of carbon, specifically Kask’s Fluid Carbon 12, an injection-moulded composite technopolymer containing 30% carbon fibre and 70% reinforced plastic. Kask has officially launched its new high-end helmet, the Elemento. Here is some of the latest kit currently under starter’s orders.
