Road Cycling Helmet RCR - Black
Helmet designed for athletic rides. This lightweight, ventilated helmet is the one worn by the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team for mountainous races.
This helmet was designed so that the ventilation works perfectly when you need it, on long climbs. As soon as you tip upwards, the aerodynamics of this helmet will make all the difference.
BENEFITS
Anatomic design
Turn-ring system for a micrometric adjustment. Occipital adjustment
Aerodynamics
Developed and tested in a wind tunnel to minimise its drag coefficient
Compatibility
Compatible with long hair. Can accommodate a braid.
Lightweight
In-Mold technology results in a lightweight helmet (270 g in size M)
Ventilation
8 air entrances connected to 7 exits via canals
TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
HELMET LIFE SPAN
Helmets don't last forever. To ensure maximum safety, we recommend replacing your helmet at least every 5 to 7 years. It is important to store it in its case, in a dry, cool place away from sunlight.
Extreme temperatures will deteriorate the helmet's foam more quickly.
After a significant impact, it is essential to replace your helmet, since it may no longer be effective if there are cracks inside the structure.
RETURN CONDITIONS (SPECIFIC TO PPE)
This helmet is personal protective equipment (PPE), so its protection will depend on the condition of your helmet.
We can only accept helmets returned in new condition. If your helmet doesn't suit you, please return it with the user guide and tags.
Sizes & Weight
The size of a helmet is based on your head circumference.
RCR:
Size S: 52-55 cm - 230 g
size M: 55-59 cm - 270 g
Size L: 59-62 cm - 290 g
This helmet is also available in a version with the MIPS system. This system slightly modifies the size grid, so if you are at the upper end of the size range and prefer the MIPS version, we recommend purchasing one size higher.
Ventilation
A helmet's ventilation is optimal when large entrances for air are connected to exits via canals that let the air circulate. The head is an essential component for cooling the body during intensive effort.
The evacuation of the heat generated is thus a priority for maintaining a high level of performance.
VENTILATION AND AERODYNAMICS
Poorly placed ventilation can, on the other hand, generate a great loss of aerodynamic performance by significantly increasing drag.
The RCR has a variable ventilation system depending on your position on the bike. The straighter up you are, for instance when climbing a slope, the more effective the system. As soon as you tip down for a descent, the aerodynamics of this helmet will make all the difference.
RCR
The RCR range for RACER is the range intended for cyclists looking for the best equipment. This range is suited to cyclists looking for excellence on all terrain. Very high-level, versatile products for riding on both flats and in the high mountains.
The RCR range has been chosen by the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale professional team
SECURITY
Because the main reason for getting a helmet is to keep yourself safe, this helmet meets all of the most demanding standards for impacts.
It complies with the European regulation EN1078.
This standard covers the following aspects: construction, including field of vision, shock absorption properties, retention system features including the chinstrap and tightening devices, and marking and information.
