About

Crafted in Italy's famous Pininfarina wind tunnel with the aid of aerodynamics guru John Cobb, the Boost 01 is Rudy Project's first-ever road aero helmet. Incorporating many advances in fluid dynamics which has made Rudy Project a staple in the Aero / TT helmet world, the Boost 01 is a technological marvel. Featuring 10 vents to assure superior ventilation and a forward placed aerodynamic pressure zone to reduce neck torque, riders can go further, harder and in more intense heat while maintaining superior drag reduction. 

The latest road aero technology gives the Boost 01 more than a 12% aero drag reduction compared to a traditional road helmet, along with a 65% reduction in neck torque by relocating the center of pressure. This helmet also comes standard with a removable optical shield that connects with a magnetic flip-up system. This allows the athlete to put the helmet on with ease, while cutting fog and maximizing cooling during long rides. Building on Rudy Project RP-Optics advanced polycarbonate technology, the visor also features cutting-edge coatings for superior optical protection against harmful UV rays, eliminating annoying glare and eye fatigue.

The new Boost 01 is a true aerodynamic beauty, boasting a powerful and function design, perfect for cyclists and triathletes alike. Old and new technologies combine to create an exceptional and functional dynamic sculpture, unmistakably Rudy Project.

Product Features
  • Fastex Buckle Closure System: The Fastex™ system consists of a simple and quick snap-lock buckle for securing the throat strap which is ergonomically shaped and ensures perfect regulation and maximum stability.
  • Interchangeable Custom Padding: All over the world, individuals of different races have different physical characteristics and personal morphology. A thorough analysis of the various different types of heads and helmet ergonomics has allowed Rudy Project to optimise the caps of its cycling and mountain bike helmets and so we are able to satisfy the fitting requirements of all individuals and ensure top-level comfort and stability.
  • Removable Optical Shield: The fully integrated and removable optical shield will ensure maximised protection and enhanced aerodynamics while eliminating annoying glare and eye fatigue. Building on RP Optics™ advanced polycarbonate technology, the Wing57 visor combines cutting-edge coatings and superior optical protection against harmful UV rays.
  • Removable Vent Covers: The Wingspan and Wing57 Aero helmets come with vent covers to control the air flow through the helmet allowing you to customise the cooling system and speed features of the helmet.
  • Massive flow through Air Vents: Keeping your head cool and dry is essential for maintaining performance at the highest levels. Thanks to the shape and the positioning of the external air openings and the unique inside air channels our helmets are perfectly ventilated and very comfortable. The air vents have been designed to permit maximum dispersion of heat, ensuring your performance does not drop as a result of the heat, and effective evaporation of sweat.
  • Adjustable RSR9 Retention System Comfort Fit: Rudy Project helmets are world-renowned for their legendary fit, the result of studies into ergonomics, design and material innovation and advanced manufacturing techniques. The retention system is constantly updated to improve comfort and performance. The new RSR 9 system enhances your fitting. The structure is more wrap-around while precise micrometric regulation and height adjustment provides a perfect personal fit.

Here at OneDayOnly we pride ourselves on two things:

Our remarkable ability to remember quotes from practically any movie, and our skill in catering to almost any person in South Africa.

The latter is the harder of the two, because A) we haven't met everyone in the R of SA and 2) our personal tastes can hardly be used as a benchmark for things other people may enjoy.

Still, through sheer determination and never-miss-an-episode viewings of Egoli and Generations, we like to think we hit the proverbial nail on the head more often than not.

And in the almost unfathomable event that we're completely wrong and nothing on our cyber-shelves appeals to you, we'd like to leave you with the following gem from Lord of the Rings:

"Use the force, Harry." - Edward Cullen.
