Alien, the new Time Trial helmet from Limar, represents a significant advancement in aerodynamics, not only due to its innovative design and use of advanced technologies but also because of the meticulous approach taken in its aerodynamic testing. Beyond tests in ideal conditions, we extended the evaluations to realistic scenarios, simulating wind conditions commonly encountered in road time trial races, with wind angles varying between 5 and 10 degrees.
These tests revealed that "Alien" performs exceptionally well in these real conditions, exceeding expectations and delivering even better performance than the results obtained in CFD tests and wind tunnel experiments. This confirms that "Alien" is not only optimized for ideal laboratory conditions but is truly adapted to the dynamic challenges of road cycling, offering cyclists an unmatched aerodynamic advantage.
Specifically, the aerodynamic advantage of Alien compared to its predecessor, the Air King Evo, translates into significant energy savings, providing the cyclist with an advantage of about 10 watts, allowing them to maintain high speeds with less effort, optimizing race performance.
