An excellent and very valuable product assessment. Thanks for producing and kindly sharing the wisdom. Best wishes & happy peddling 🙏
Thanks for a real and base on experience review. Decided to buy the Valegro. Again, thank you.
Really wanted to love my 1st gen Mojito, but no matter what I did I couldn't get it to sit straight on my head, the brow was always cockeyed! It makes for a great winter helmet with a cap underneath, but for summer, drives me mad. Bought a Catlike helmet , and whilst light, it's a real mushroom and very noisy in the wind. Great review and I'm pleased to see the winner is exactly what I've got my eye on!
+1 for the Protone padding - I've glued mine back on a couple times before I've lost it all (and cannibalised lost pieces from an old one I crashed). It's a bit annoying as it's not exactly comfortable with no padding back there... I've still had 3 of them (one trashed) though! Also, I've got my last 2 -and one for the missus- for under $130 each, which is an absolute bargain. Pays to look out for those (Pushys) sales!
Awesome review, just ordered my valegro
Nice comparative review, James. Bought a Valegro just recently, mainly from a ventilation perspective. (Coming from a POC Octal). Couldn’t be happier, as far best bang per buck. It’s lighter, well vented, comfortable and reasonably decent looking. As far the other Kask helmets go, I could never wear the Mojito as the fit never suited my noggin. Love the look of Protone, but never been able to get a good price for one (thankfully, as the venting sounds like I would die). And the Utopia is very niche and looks like a Stormtrooper helmet paired with some white framed 100% S3 Sunglasses.
Cheers Andy! Glad you've jumped on the Valegro bandwagon. And I totally rock the Utopia with a pair of white Oakley Sutros. I'm all-in on looking like a weirdo!
Thanks for the review! you clearly make my decision easier
Thanks Troy! I remember you from such positive RUclips comments as "Thanks for the review! you clearly make my decision easier"
I have the large Protone, it is amazing helmet, fit well but allow for winter cap under.
I purchased the Mojito X in the same size and it much tighter, and the strap around the ears are much higher, pinching my earlobes.
Thanks for all this, very helpful! How about noise levels? I just got utopia and it's fairly quiet, much better than the hurricane winds from bell stratus. But I think louder than the bontrager aero I used to have....didn't fit right though....velegro is loud?
Been a Mojito fan for years now. Glad you raised the reflectors but I own 3 Mojitos and the reflectors have fallen off all of them. I find them in my bag, on the floor or never again. Great idea but our friends at Kask need to work on their glue. Other than that, a top helmet.
Hey great video as again I am back in the market, one major flaw on the video there was NO mention of safety which is the main reason for a helmet I mean do they use mips or which is safer or stronger etc
Great comparism any chance of doing a another review with the 2021 helmets , whats your experience with the octo cradle moving up and down when mountain biking have just bought the rex mtb helmet and like most of it but the retension system just seams a bit shitty ,thanks kel
Very personal review, which is quite normal. Owned and used / tried all 4 helmets. My ranking would be: 1. (by far) Protone 2. Mojito (used the first version, not X), 3. Valegro, 4. Utopia. I personally prefer the comfort of Protone and Mojito versus very strange "padding" in newer models as both Valegro and Utopia create marks of wear on your forehead. I'd say, Protone is one of the oldest helmets in the pro peloton still comparable with much younger helmets.
Great review thanks ! Whats your thoughts on the Rapido at 220g and 100 bucks or more cheaper than the rest?
Very good review awesome video how much did you pay for Kask Utopia ?
I love my protone. It’s light, great ventilation and great comfort. It’s already super lite for a helmet
At 300g I wouldn't call this light or superlight for a helmet. This is on the heavy side but definitely a nice helmet
Great! I'm getting a Mojito X.
Just bought Valegro Maratona after watching this vid. Thanks👍
Hello! I've got a funky headshape, thats longer then its wide... Would it be possible to get the length and width measurments of these helmets? :D
Thanks!
Great video. I been through alot of brands and in to racing, I also have Valegro but by far Met Rivale is so superior than anything I've used, best helmet by far I owned.
Amazing how different the Australian weights are! I've had both the Protone and the Valegro (UK / EU models), both in medium, and they were practically the same weight (215g and 208g after trimming the excess strap length). I was a bit miffed, as one reason for buying the Valegro was to save weight over the Protone! The stated weights on the Kask website are meaningless, no indication of what region they apply to. I wonder though, if the Valegro can meet Australian safety standards by weighing practically the same as the EU model, while the Protone needs to add almost 100g to do so, does that mean that the EU Valegro is safer than the EU Protone? Could the EU Valegro actually be the same as the Australian one, and conform to Australian standards (even if it's not certified?).
Good job!
Hi I have 2 Kask helmets, a Vertigo C50 (2015) and a Valegro (2018) love both helmets for different reasons, however I have a 60km road race on in 2 weeks time where my average speed will be approx 32kph, the course had approx 550 meters of elevation with 2 rather larger climbs, top speed on the descents will be approx 65kph. Which helmet do you think would give me the best marginal gains eg aero, weight, ventilation etc, the Valegro is 70gms lighter than the Vertigo but I suspect the Vertigo may be more aero?. Love your vids keep them coming. Cheers.
G'day David, to be honest I think weather is more of an important factor for your helmet choice. There will be an aero difference between the Vertigo and Valegro but it'll be minor and only make a material difference if you're on the front or solo for the whole race. I'd say wear the aero helmet if it's cool weather or the Valegro if it's hot. Good luck!
I have only used this helmet a few times but I love it. Easy to adjust.
Is UTOPIA size same with VALEGRO? Or smaller than Valegro?
What’s your opinion on the Met Trenta 3K carbon? I really love that look of that helmet!
Can't comment directly because i haven't used one. But agreed, they look badass. I have a friend who has been on multiple sponsored teams and she says the Met is her favourite helmet. All that really matters is that you try it on first to make sure it's comfortable and fits.
wow nice collection!
I find my Utopia is an all rounder. Comfortable and unless you are riding uphill for hours and fast a match for the other helmets. As a specific tool it’s a cycling helmet designed for riders of all abilities. As for front dents in forehead ,so what ,all helmets are want to leave impressions and you can always slacken off a tad. Yes it’s expensive at full cost but mine cost same as protone. In short, differences are subjective and as a previous Mojito owner - 4 years - the Utopia, even given its grandiose and inaccurate name, is a much better product all round.
Hey, which bike wall hangers do you use i see in the video? Thanks...

Safety? I love my Mojito. It's the mist comfortable helmet I've ever owned. I'm considering buying another one. Kask has MIT safety system while other brands have MIPS. Your thoughts on which is safer. I've done some research. Still unsure
The independent testing seems to indicate that MIPS/SPIN/WaveCel equipped helmets are safer. It's such a hard thing to really gauge because there's the basic standards set by countries/regions, then what manufacturers choose to do on top of it, THEN further verification and independent testing. In short: these are all probably less effective at protecting your head than a helmet with in-built safety system.
@@JustRideAdelaide thanks for the feedback. I'll most likely stay with the Mojito. The snug secure fit is outstanding compared to other manufacturers
My favorite helmet :catlike mixino. ❤️
Kask Valegro vs Giro Synthe 2. Any thoughts?
How about Kask Infinity? Thanks..
Mojito X classic style in safety yellow is very beautifull IMO. 106 US dollar more Brazil taxes.
I guess the newer Protone in 2022 (WG11 tested) may fix some of these complaints, it’s much lighter for sure.
what about the new mojito 3?
I'll let you know a bit later this year when I get one. The Australian version is delayed until October/November because of slow shipping.
Great review. Funny, I just bought a Valegro and noticed that there is now a big wad of padding at the front brow area.
Ohhh really? That's very interesting! I got mine at launch so maybe they heard some feedback that the padding was insufficient. I'll have to dig out some photos of the inside to see what's going on.
Apparently padding is available to buy?
Latest valegro models have a detachable front pad for more comfort
My matte protone isn't too bad in the summer but my mojito x is still much cooler/lighter
Hello, how is helmet kask infinity? Thank you
I have that. Bit outdated but love the temperature control in winter with the slide
Do you get everything in trade for a review? You have some many new bike items.
Yo Aaron, it's s mixture of stuff I get sent to review and stuff I've bought myself. Most of the stuff that gets sent comes into the website I run: www.lavelocita.cc and some of the more interesting or good stuff ends up getting a video here.
If you own all 4 helmets you'll have the perfect fit 365 days a year.
영상 잘 보고 갑니다. 즐거운 시간 보내세요.
Valegro ineos..sold
$178 USD
Thanks
Got my protone
I have been tossing up between these helmets and then ol mate who happens to be from my hometown does a smashing review! What a legend - perfect review!
I noticed the protone is tighter and the valegro is bigger size wise so I’m a small in valegro and medium in protone... small wayyyy to small
Thanks a bunch dude!
Yoooo Radelaide Represent! Thanks for the feedback my dude
The european pricing is totally different: the Mojito x costs half of the protone, the utopia and the valegro in the middle.
Australian pricing is bonkers! Helmets especially because we have our own helmet standards that mean manufacturers have to make helmets especially for Australia. So they're more expensive, and heavier.
Oakley
anyway i like kask protone🙂
How good or bad is the Kask rapido?.
Thats one of the few I've never worn!
Ride Adelaide Thanks I imagine ha.
me watching this with valegro on 😄
At least put the helmets on. I just want to know which one does not look like a mushroom tip.
To much money for a helmet with a poor material quality like Kask! I have one of these (kask protone) and after 10 rides the protection of belt in syntetic material starts damage and kask don´t cover these defect! Never buy kask again!
Too* much ... you must have had bad luck with your helmet. My Kasks and those of the people I know who wear them, are thoroughly well-crafted.
James! You're race-lean!
I ride bikes and don't eat too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@JustRideAdelaide Must be eating 50 bananas a day to be that lean
First!
Congratulations!
Damn, that was boring!
