Building on its partnership with pro cycling team GreenEDGE, SCOTT Sports has championed its latest product development. The all-new Scott SPLIT aero helmet was developed by SCOTT Sports and ridden by GreenEDGE as it stormed to team time trial victory on the opening stage of Tirreno-Adriatico.
SCOTT engineers worked with Team GreenEDGE to determine a clear set of objectives when designing the new Split Aero helmet. The team asked for a helmet with the lowest drag coefficient possible, an advanced optical solution, a fully integrated visor, a dynamic ventilation system, and of course an adjustable, comfortable fit.
Extensive wind tunnel testing was carried out with the GreenEDGE ProTeam to optimize the helmet’s shape with regard to both aerodynamics and rider integration. Wind tunnel testing provided ‘more holistic, real world data for each design iteration and ensured that the final Split shape achieved its class leading performance.’ During this process a seamlessly integrated ‘clip in’ optical shield, which further improves the aerodynamics of the overall design, was also developed.
Further details about the Scott SPLIT aero helmet can be found via an online product media kit.
