The partnership between Rudy Project and Cannondale is set to continue as, for the third year in a row, Cannondale’s professional road cycling team will rely on Rudy Project helmets and sunglasses.
“On the heels of Rudy Project being the number one worn TT/Aero helmet in Ironman Kona 2012, this partnership will solidify our commitment to furthering the performance of the world’s top athletes with the best eyewear and helmets on the planet,” said Paul Craig, President and Co-Founder of R.A.C.E. – distributing Rudy Project in North America.
The collaboration with Cannondale Pro Cycling is seen as fundamental for the continuous improvement of the company’s products and for the development of new technologies.
Cannondale Pro Cycling has chosen the top-of-the-line Rudy Project Windmax cycling helmet – billed as ‘the perfect synthesis of lightness, ventilation, comfort and an unrivalled design.’ In time trial races, the athletes will wear the short-tailed and lightweight Wingspan helmet. The Wingspan’s aerodynamic efficiency has been tested in a wind tunnel by aerodynamics expert John Cobb and is equipped with an optimized and modular ventilation system.
The pro cycling team will also wear the Noyz Racing Pro and Genetyk Racing Pro cycling sunglasses. According to Rudy Project, by ‘increasing visual performance, they’ll make the difference in racing by contributing to maximum levels of concentration, protection, peripheral visibility and an optimal view of the route.’
Rudy Project designs and manufactures hi-tech sunglasses, Rxes, goggles and helmets by applying advanced science and technology. Designed and made in Italy since 1985, Rudy Project has grown quickly as a premier brand throughout North America.
Rudy Project has won Outside Magazine’s prestigious ‘Gear of the Year’ award twice for its cutting edge frame and lens technologies. Rudy helmets were recognized as the number, most worn TT brand at the 2011 and 2012 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, and the Wingspan time trial helmet was selected as Triathlete Magazine’s ‘Best Aero Helmet’ in its 2012 Buyer’s Guide.
Of late, Rudy Project has prided itself in providing ‘the absolute best prescription eyewear for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts around the world’.
