Developed in collaboration with INEOS Grenadiers and launched in 2018, the KASK Utopia helmet has now been restyled, evolving into the Utopia Y.
The principal characteristics of the original Utopia were aimed at optimising aerodynamics and ventilation. These elements continue to play a central role in the restyled incarnation of the helmet, retaining a targeting of triathlons and road races where speed is of the essence.
The Utopia Y also delivers improved comfort due to its Resistex Carbon padding – a breathable material that allows the dissipation of moisture to the outer shell. This feature has now been added to the front of the helmet to help provide an optimal fit.
The updated edition also sees the introduction of the OCTOFIT+ adjustment system, which gives greater comfort and stability. This new retention system envelops a wider area across the nape of the neck and encompasses a larger rotation dial which is coated in a special rubber to offer grip, ergonomics and ease of use.
The Utopia Y’s aesthetic is completed with the addition of reflective graphics for greater visibility whilst cycling in traffic, and a KASK logo on the side of the outer shell which replicates the helmets being currently used by professional teams and athletes.
The new Utopia Y comes in a wide variety of colours, from the traditional White Matt, White Shine, Black Matt and Black Shine options through to Oxford Blue, Red and Grey colourways.
And as is standard for all KASK products, the Utopia Y was designed in accordance with the KASK Rotational Impact WG11 Test, an internal testing regime that measures the helmet’s performance when subjected to rotational impacts.
Weighing in at 260g (in size M), the Utopia Y is on sale worldwide at a recommended retail price of €275, £245, US$300, and AU$410.
