That looks really nice are there any tests comparing them to third party helmets like the vanquish or evade?Roadbiker10 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 3:01 pmSo I got the new Rudy Project Nytron, and I'm very happy with it. Fit is pretty much perfect. I have a feeling this is a fast helmet. They certainly got it right with the Wing. It seems to be the fastest out there for TT helmets. I'm hoping Swisside have done a good job on this one.

Probably not. All I've seen is their own review. It would be interesting to know.cajer wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 4:14 pmThat looks really nice are there any tests comparing them to third party helmets like the vanquish or evade?Roadbiker10 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 3:01 pmSo I got the new Rudy Project Nytron, and I'm very happy with it.

7.5 watts is a big difference even if it's a full aero vs aero road helmet. Still it's going to be hard to compare without acutal data. But it seems like they might have prioritized cooling a bit more than pure aero road.

I don't think I've seen any serious amateur time trialist self-select a Rudy Project Wing. Apparently the fugly Lazer Volante is very fast and so is the Kask Mistral. The POC Tempor is fast if you have an excellent body position and the Giro Aerohead is fast if you don't.

It was also percieved to be the most comfortable. But yeah of course it's individual with any helmet, and more so with TT helmets.FlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 3:40 pmThere is no "fastest TT helmet". It's far too individual.
The fastest helmet on me was a POC tempor. But after altering my position, the Giro Aerohead Ultimate Test slightly faster.
Just saying that RP seem to be doing things right, which leads me to have high hopes for the Nytron. Again, personally fit is amazing. Which I can't say for many other helmets.

Yes, that's the one. That's actually what piqued my interest, and I came across the new Nytron.Robius wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 8:39 amI guess you're referring to this thread: https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/Slow ... _P7476244/Roadbiker10 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 4:01 pmI remember a thread on Slowtwitch where someone posted some tests which showed the Wing performed the best along with another one.

It’s important to note the people in Jim’s test are triathletes and CdAs to match. They have more upright/all-day riding positions compared to time trialists, so the stubby Rudy Project Wing and stubby POC Cerebral work better.

Yeah, short tail don't work at all for me...
Case by case, rider by rider.
In TrainerRoad Podcast, they discussed how they didn't find to have the stubby ones work okay on everyone.
Don't think there is any one size fits all.

AGU just released their Transsonic aero helmet.
They say: the fastest ever!

Looks heavily inspired by the Evade II from all angles…might be slightly smaller frontal area too.
I've not heard of them testing well on many people - unless you can get your head very low (i.e. probably not your average triathlete).FlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 11:27 pmYeah, short tail don't work at all for me...

Helmets with a mid-small tail like the Bell Javelin are still one of the 'safest' bets for most people.
Another important factor is visibility, a helmet might test super fast but if you can see where you're going in that position...
They don't give any info comparing it to other helmets despite claiming that it's the fastest ever. Seems a bit suspicious.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 10:28 amReactoScultura wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 10:08 amAGU just released their Transsonic aero helmet.

I don't know why they name the "Aero" helmet after the transcient state which has the highest drag possible.ReactoScultura wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 10:08 amAGU just released their Transsonic aero helmet.

At transonic, the drag coefficient is higher than supersonic and subsonic. It's the place to spend as little time as possible inside that range.
