Fizik, an Italian brand recognized for decades for its saddles and shoes for cyclists, is expanding its offering with a new range of helmets. This collection includes four models designed to meet the needs of different disciplines: road, gravel, triathlon, and trail.
A varied range for all cyclists
The four helmets offered are the Kudo, the Kudo Aero, the Kunée, and the Kassis. The Kudo and Kudo Aero target road, gravel, and cross-country (XC) cyclists, while the Kunée is designed for time trials (TT) and triathlon. The Kassis, for its part, is intended for off-road practices. Each model has been developed to combine performance, comfort, and safety.
Aerodynamic optimization
Fizik engineers used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to design helmets that reduce air resistance. The focus was on curves and surfaces to improve airflow, a key factor for cyclists where the helmet constitutes a significant part of the frontal profile.
Comfort and adjustment
The range offers sizes from 52 to 61 cm, accompanied by a micro-adjustable internal fitting system. This mechanism allows the helmet to adapt to different head shapes, by modifying the tilt and fit for personalized comfort.
Enhanced safety
All helmets comply with international safety standards, such as CE EN 1078:2012 or CPSC 1203. The Kudo, Kudo Aero, and Kassis models integrate a rechargeable rear light (35 lumens), with a steady or flashing mode. They are also equipped with the MIPS Air Node system, which reduces rotational forces in the event of an impact, except for the Kunée. Each model has obtained a 5-star rating in the Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings.
Model presentation
Kudo: Lightweight (from 270 g) and ventilated, this helmet is suitable for long climbs, gravel, and daily rides. Available in white, black, and bronze, it is offered at €290.
Kudo Aero: Speed-oriented, it combines aerodynamics and ventilation thanks to strategic openings. Available in white, black, and silver, it is also sold at €290.
Kunée: Designed for triathlon and TT, its teardrop design and side panels optimize aerodynamics. It includes a magnetic ventilated visor and weighs 350 g (without visor). Available in white, it costs €380.
Kassis: Adapted for off-road, it offers reinforced protection and an adjustable visor. Weighing 330 g, it is available in white, dark navy blue, and mud-sand, for €200.
Technical specifications
The helmets are manufactured with a molded EPS-PC structure for durability. They include a precise adjustment system and, for most, the MIPS Air Node. The integrated light (except on the Kunée) is rechargeable via USB-C, with a battery life of 90 minutes in continuous mode and 180 minutes in flashing mode.
An evolution for Fizik
Alex Locatelli, Senior Product Manager at Fizik, explains: “Entering the helmet market is a natural step for us. We sought to combine functionality, aesthetics, and safety, while remaining true to our identity.” The brand highlights products combining innovation and performance, as evidenced by their high rating by Virginia Tech.
