Well now February is basically over =) If I am not mistaken Oakley also removed the "February" from their website, it now says "coming 2018".

Do we have any data on the aero helmet as to how it compares in the wind tunnel? I like it as far as style and I imagine it has a killer visor but hate to hold out to buy it without knowing how it stacks up performance-wise.

Cheers,

yup. i’ve been anxiously awaiting the aro7. i’ll just pick up an aerohead for now since it’s a solid tried and true helmet and give oakley some money next year maybe.

Wheels of Bloor in Toronto had the helmet in an Instagram story from the shop a couple of days ago. So they have at least a few.

No idea.

However i did see Nino Schurter using some kind of new EV model that looked like a new jawbreaker at cape epic prologue yesterday.


EDIT: i wasn't the only one spotting it

My LBS has these as well. I'm guessing most folks here are interested in the Aro 7.

Whoops... meant ARO 5. But yeah your right... most here seem interested in the ARO 7 or the super secret one Jan has been using which is different than the ARO 7.

Oakley has no plans to produce Jan's long tail Aro7 according to Jim Manton's comments on another thread. Apparently it has tested worse than the short tail so there's no reason to make it.

Talbot Cox Stated in his frodo helmet thread that Oakley had pulled it from their production schedule.

Spoke with Oakley about this. This is a prototype and they will not be releasing it. They have updated it since then as well.

So, they're working on another version that will probably be tested throughout this year I'm guessing.
