Slice through the wind with the KUDO AERO Helmet—aero-enhanced protection for race-day riding
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wore the KUDO AERO for my last crit season and couldn’t believe how balanced it felt—fast, quiet, and super stable in crosswinds. The spoiler actually works, the vents keep things cool enough, and the tail light is surprisingly bright. A full-race helmet with no fuss."
The KUDO AERO Helmet is engineered for cyclists who thrive on speed and efficiency. Whether racing on pavement, grinding gravel, or pacing a fast XC lap, it minimizes aerodynamic drag while delivering cutting-edge protection and custom fit. Its smooth shell profile and integrated rear spoiler improve airflow across the top and delay separation at the rear—translating to real-world gains in aerodynamic efficiency.
Inside, the helmet uses a reinforced crossbridge architecture layered within EPS foam to better distribute impact forces, while the MIPS Air Node system provides advanced rotational protection with a low-friction, integrated design. Despite its focus on aero, the KUDO AERO remains impressively ventilated thanks to large front inlets and exhaust channels positioned for maximum heat extraction during intense efforts.
The fit system combines micrometric dial adjustments with crown and tilt tuning to ensure comfort and stability on rough surfaces or in aggressive positions. For safety and utility, a rear passive reflector and USB-rechargeable LED taillight enhance visibility from dusk to dawn. Topping it off, each helmet includes a Fizik helmet light and protective carry bag—making it a ready-to-race option for serious cyclists across disciplines.

Great fitting helmet
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
This helmet fits and looks great. The helmet has plugs to adjust the roundness of the helmet; I was able to adjust mine from an oval to more round fit. It looks good, glasses fit well, and has an optional light in the back but you can remove it.
