Catlike Chrono Aero WT Time Trial Helmet 2013

"All surfaces and details of the Catlike Chrono Aero WT helmet are designed to maximise it’s aerodynamic properties.

WHAT'S NEW FOR THE 2013 VERSION

Through extensive wind tunnel testing, the stubby tail has been deemed more efficient and faster in crosswinds, and has an additional advantage during team time trials where the riders are required to be more keenly aware of their position and surroundings.

DESIGN & SAFETY

The singular, in-molded shell also features Catlike's CES (Crash Energy Splitter) technology which disperses impact energy along the internal skeletal structure of the helmet. Catlike uses an open-cell foam to pad the flexible ear flaps, making the helmet much easier to pull on and eliminating any painful pinching along the side of your head. Dialing in your fit is also a painless affair, as Catlike has equipped the Chrono Aero with a cradle for the back of your neck. This cradle is fully adjustable, and independent of the helmet straps. Its tension can be tightened or loosened with the simple turning of the ratchet dial — like Giro's RocLoc or Garneau's Spiderlock systems.

VENTING

The helmet has only a single ventilation port at the front of the helmet — a single, massive air intake shaped like the Catlike logo. It's a refreshing design choice that is as bold as it is functional, and one that further serves to illustrate Catlike's predilection for unorthodox design in differentiating itself from the masses. The helmet also features two streamlined exhaust ports on the back and tail of the helmet that leave airflow largely uninterrupted as you slice through the wind.

Moreover, the Aero WT features different ventilation configurations that allow the rider to choose the one that best suits their physiology and riding style. 

HELMET ADJUSTMENT

It’s internal adjustment system allows an optimal fit, providing extra comfort to the rider in such agonising disciplines as Time Trial and Triathlons."
