They both have me thinking I need to spend $375 for a TT5 helmet.
I bought it after watching lol… 375 + tax but no shipping at least on orders over 300
Wait - you are riding?
It’s so ugly - which we said about the original aerohead. I just…love the 2.0 the more i see it haha so I’ll wait!
I recently bought the POC Procen even though I would have chosen the TT5 because the latter was never available.
The TT5 seems like it was designed by someone with more aero expertise, (sharper trailing edges that are essentially inactive in a low head position and likely beneficial in normal people’s head tilt angles, more orthogonal face shield and venting to/from wake zones and no duct gimmicks) and the Aerohead 2.0 has features that look more like what a designer thinks “looks aero†but may not be all that great, particularly the long forward nose and tangential face shield.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the TT5 is still better for most people, even in the Aerohead 2.0 ideal head attitude. The only doubt I have is I’d imagine Giro must have benchmarked the TT5 since it has been out for a while now.

Riding!
Past specialized helmets have tested fast on me so hoping this is the same… I would have bought the 2.0 but not for sale; if it goes on sale will buy it and try to find some time to go do some testing with Jim.
I dont the the TT5 is that bad looking, it comes in on Saturday so will know more soon.
Signed up for the specialized newsletter and got 15% off the TT5. $318 + tax. Not a bad deal. Went ahead and pulled the trigger. Sure they will sell out soon.
My son’s arrived yesterday and the fit is great. It’s easy to put on so will be fast in transition. It also has very good optics/visibility and comes with smoke/mirror and clear shields. With the large shield and airy interior area I think many people will feel less confined thus not opting to ride instead with sunglasses. The thin face sock can easily be tucked up behind the frame that touches the top of the head. It’s a big helmet but it doesn’t feel heavy and size large has a lot of adjustability to keep it secure.
Only slight downsides so far is the shield can’t be removed and stored on the helmet with a magnet and I can’t seem to fit the helmet with the shield installed into the helmet case. Matte black is also a finger magnet.
He’s excited to race with it this weekend at Bevoman.

dam I missed that; will see how this size small fits sat… but watching some videos sounds like for aerodynamics may want to go bigger?
Wonder if the size changes the size of the shell or just the interior fitting. Given the relative affordable price (i think they could have charged $500, but glad they didn’t), I’d guess they’re all the same size with different fittings inside the helmet.
