Ideal for road riders, climbers and summer-focused cyclists who want very strong ventilation, low weight and a highly adjustable fit.
The Valegro is a road helmet designed around thermo-cooling performance. Its 37 ventilation holes promote substantial airflow through the helmet, helping disperse heat during hard efforts and slower uphill riding. At 180 g in size S, it keeps weight low without losing the structured protection and finish expected from Kask.
Inside, 5 mm fast-wicking padding helps manage moisture, while Resistex Carbon supports antistatic, bacteriostatic and heat-regulating performance. The OCTO FIT system gives you a rubberised micro-dial and independently positionable rear contact points, so you can fine-tune the fit to your head shape. The eco-leather chin strap adds a soft, comfortable contact point under the chin.
The Valegro’s open design is particularly well suited to warm Australian conditions, with real-world testing showing excellent cooling at speed and on hot climbs. The trade-off is that the minimal padding and highly ventilated construction may not suit every head shape or sweat pattern. The rear fit system can also sit close to sunglass arms, so we recommend trying the helmet with your usual eyewear before buying.

Removable brow padding
Removing the front padding can increase airflow around the forehead, which may also help reduce sunglass fogging in humid conditions.
