Bike Helmet airBENDER black

airBENDER is the lightweight, well-ventilated road helmet for riders who don't want to think about their helmet once it's on. Built around a 24-vent in-mould shell, dial-fit retention, and a glove-friendly magnetic buckle, it stays cool on long climbs, secure on rough descents, and certified to EU EN 1078 — without the premium-helmet price.

Who it's for

Road, gravel, and endurance riders who want a properly ventilated, properly fitting helmet for daily training, long summer rides, and weekend group rides — not a sponsor-paid race lid that costs three times more.

Why riders choose it

• 24-vent in-mould shell. Most cheap helmets trap heat on long climbs and force you to slow down or stop. The airBENDER's 24 channelled vents pull air across the scalp from the first pedal stroke, so you stay cool when the pace lifts and the gradient kicks up.
• Micro-adjust dial fit. A loose helmet rocks on rough roads and wastes mental energy on every descent. The rear dial dials in a clean, even hold around the head — no hot spots, no pressure points, no second-guessing the fit mid-ride.
• Glasses-friendly vent ports. Sunglasses sliding off or fogging on climbs is a constant annoyance. The front vents are shaped to park temples cleanly, so your eyewear stays put when you stash it.
• Magnetic Fidlock-style buckle. Fiddling with a plastic clip in winter gloves or at a café stop is slow and cold. The magnetic buckle snaps shut one-handed and releases just as easily — even with full-finger gloves.
• EN 1078 certified protection. Many budget helmets quietly skip EU certification. The airBENDER is independently tested to EN 1078, so you get the same protection standard required of every helmet sold in pro racing.
• Two padding sets, washable. Sweat-soaked padding ruins fit and smell within a season. Swap in the spare set after big rides and wash the other — the helmet stays fresh year after year.

Size & fit

Measure the circumference of your head just above the eyebrows.

• S/M — 51–56 cm

Between sizes? Size up. A helmet that sits even slightly too tight becomes uncomfortable after 90 minutes; the dial can always take up extra room.
