Kask Elemento - Black

Is the Kask Elemento the right all-round helmet for road and gravel racing? The Kask Elemento in Black is a top-of-the-range, all-round road, gravel, cyclocross, and XC helmet developed in collaboration with the INEOS Grenadiers cycling team for professional and semi-professional athletes who refuse to compromise between aerodynamics, ventilation, and safety. The shell is built around Fluid Carbon 12, a composite technopolymer that absorbs more impact energy than traditional materials and distributes force more evenly across the helmet, allowing Kask engineers to widen the internal channels for better airflow while reducing external vent hole size for improved aerodynamics. Inside, Multipod, the brand's proprietary 3D-printed elastomer padding, manages linear and rotational impact energy equally from any direction. The OCTOFIT+ retention system uses an over-injected rubber dial for finger grip and a redesigned vertical stabilizer for a customized fit. The HYVENT structure is engineered to maximize airflow and thermal regulation, while a reflective rear graphic improves visibility on early mornings and evening rides. Inner padding is Merino wool with a polyester chinstrap, the shell finish is shiny, and total weight is 300 grams. Recipient of the ADI Design Index 2023 and iF Design Award 2024, and developed against Kask's Rotational Impact WG11 Test protocol. Built for the cyclist who races every weekend and trains every day in between.
