UVEX bike helmet race 8 | white
When every second counts on the long distance, your helmet must also be uncompromisingly designed for speed. The uvex race 8 takes you through triathlons and time trials with aerodynamic efficiency and combines a flow-optimized shape with practical details for competition. Developed together with uvex engineers and athletes from the BMC Etixx Pro Triathlon Team, this time trial helmet is aimed at all those who want to maintain their position, save watts and not give anything away in the decisive meters.
At its heart is the shortened droplet shape, which guides the helmet aerodynamically efficiently through the airstream and supports your position on the bike. Laterally arranged dimples take up a principle from golf, improve the air flow on the helmet shell and help to reduce turbulence and air resistance. For additional efficiency, the front ventilation opening is located at the point of maximum dynamic pressure. In this way, the airflow is directed around and through the helmet without unnecessarily interrupting the basic aerodynamic shape. The helmet remains practical even in changing conditions. The take-off magnetic visor in litemirror smoke S1 can be operated with one hand, is fully integrated into the helmet and fits seamlessly into the shape. When not in use, it can be stored in the parking position provided on the helmet. For reliable protection, the hardshell technology combines a robust outer shell with a shock-absorbing EPS inner shell. The adjustable uvex anatomic IAS system enables individual adjustment to the head circumference. Removable, washable and quick-drying helmet pads made from functional material round off the race-oriented comfort.
Whether for long-distance triathlons, time trials or fast road bike sections: the uvex race 8 is built for riders who do not simply accept air resistance. An uncompromisingly aerodynamic helmet for high speeds, clear lines and maximum concentration right up to the finish line.
Hardshell technology
With a robust outer shell and shock-absorbing EPS inner shell, hardshell technology combines high durability with reliable protection.
Dimples
Dimples arranged on the sides, similar to a golf ball, improve the air flow on the helmet shell, reduce turbulence and support the aerodynamic efficiency of the helmet.
Take-off magnetic visor
In changing light conditions, the take-off magnetic visor can be removed quickly, even with one hand while riding, and can be stored on the helmet when not in use.
uvex anatomic IAS system
Individually adjustable and designed for a secure fit, the uvex anatomic IAS system adjusts the helmet to your head circumference.
uvex - protecting people
Founded in 1926 in Fürth, uvex began its history with the manufacture of safety eyewear. The brand name, which was introduced in 1956, is derived from "UltraViolet Excluded" and refers directly to the company's roots in eye protection. Athletes have been relying on uvex products since the 1930s, enabling the brand to establish itself early on in top international sport. Development focuses on extensive laboratory and practical tests, supplemented by toxicological tests and modern computer simulations. At the same time, the issue of sustainability is becoming increasingly important, which is why uvex relies on environmentally friendly materials, short delivery routes and responsible production conditions and is pursuing the goal of operating in a climate-neutral manner by 2045.
As a globally active group of companies with numerous locations worldwide, uvex controls all steps from the product idea through design and development to production. At the heart of all activities is a clearly formulated claim: to provide people with the best possible protection at work, in sport and in everyday life.
