Interesting that FVL is no longer using Ekoi.

Looks like their design goals didn't focus on reducing frontal area. Looks more like a very wide Aerohead.

Yeah. I could see a scenario where the head is in line or lower than the shoulders and a wide helmet-visit is a very effective solution, but that doesn't help anyone whose head is the highest point of their position.

Reminds me of their wasp, at least I think it's the wasp. I've played with too many damn helmets to keep them all straight

I'll see if I can get one for an update to my original review. When I finished that piece, the team at MET said that the criticisms I raised were not unique and that they were working to address them in an update, which I presume is this helmet.

yeah, when you see it with the other paint on the bike radar site it looks almost identical.

Here it has more of a giro or cervelo paint scheme

Is that lens browkind of blocking his eyes? or should the helmet be worn tipped back a bit more so that the tail is closer to his shoulders and he can see more?

I think he was using a Met at Kona last October already.

His position with the Ekoi was not a sight to behold. It hurts my eyes to look at pictures of Kona 2013 ... although, who can argue against a winner?



Edit: actually, the pic is from 2014 (bib no. 1)

 



How much better is his new position?!?!??! Well done Mat. FVL looks pretty amazing on the bike now!

Except the for the way the visor attaches to the helmet, I don't see any difference compared to the existing Drone WB helmet?
