Rudy Project has written an important new chapter in triathlon history at the 2011 Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona (Hawaii). At the now legendary extreme competition, consisting of a 3,800 meter swim in the Pacific Ocean, a 180 km bike ride on the slopes of the Hawaiian volcanoes and a 42 kilometer run, raced in that order without a break, no fewer than 211 Rudy Project helmets were used by the strongest Ironman athletes around the world. Flag bearer of Rudy Project success the Australian Pete Jacobs took an outstanding second place with a superb running time of 2:42:29 and 4:31:03 in the biking portion. Topping the list of favorites the Wingspan aerodynamic helmet, unmatched in versatility and lightness, especially sought for its compact shape, its sleek design and revolutionary short tail. Wind tunnel tested under the expert guidance of John Cobb, American aerodynamics guru in the field of cycling, this helmet has large ventilation slots which, together with special internal netting, promote continuous air circulation without harming the overall aerodynamics.
Top-level research, the use of advanced materials and technologies, the maniacal attention to detail have convinced Ironman athletes around the world to choose the Wingspan helmet. For unsurpassed performance look no further than Rudy Project.
