Uvex Race 8 - Less air turbulence, optimal ventilation properties, maximum energy savings of the uvex race 8 is the essence of a perfected time trial helmet. And makes professional triathletes a few seconds faster.
The long distance is the premier class of triathlon. A few seconds decide whether you are at the top of the podium or not. The new uvex race 8 is one of them and is already impressing top athletes. The helmet was developed by uvex engineers and the athletes of the BMC Etixx Pro Triathlon Team. To improve aerodynamics, it has a shortened teardrop shape. Specially arranged dimples, depressions like those found on golf balls, are placed on the side of the helmet shell. They reduce air resistance and avoid turbulence.
The front ventilation opening is placed at the point of maximum dynamic pressure. The wind is directed in a river around and through the helmet. The magnetic visor in litemirror smoke (S1) can be operated with one hand, fits completely into the helmet and closes seamlessly. When not in use, it can simply be placed in a specially designed parking position on the helmet. The shape of the helmet optimally shields the shoulder area and the air flows out at the back of the head and back with little turbulence. Measurements in the wind tunnel with the uvex race 8 show significant energy and time savings.
